So, off I went again to Chiang Mai, this time finally with my family and a friend. We flew Thai Airways which served us cold meals on board which were alright but we missed having warm food actually. I felt so excited as the plane landed at Chiang Mai International Airport as it has always been my dream to go back there - again, and again, and again.
After meeting up with our hospitable Thai friend, we set off straightaway for our first destination: Doi Angkhang. We had a brief stop for a late lunch at Chiang Dao town - good food! By the time we reached our accommodation for the next three nights, the sun was slowly sinking behind the hills. But! That did not stop us from getting to work immediately once all the luggage was heaved into the rooms.
Within just half an hour, we were duly entertained by the male Rufous-bellied Niltava Niltava sundara and a White-capped Water-Redstart Chaimarrornis leucocephalus. I believe that most birdwatchers who have been to Baan Luang Resort can identify the bird perches without a sweat.

After that, a sumptuous dinner of tomyam soup and mushrooms being the highlights and then off to bed! A rather quick yet satisfying end to Day One.
