I like to lay my head down in 5 star comfort, but spend the day or evening out on the street. One thing I rarely ever do is go to a restaurant in Thailand. The food is so great out on the street.

I'm typing this at the Oriental, and about to head up to the LM Chiang Mai. Both of which I got great deals on. It's not about throwing money away on luxury, but rather getting the most for your hard earned money. Bang for the buck, as the Americans say.
