Even though it's more expensive I decided flying into the country would be best. There's a lot of hassle getting the visa when crossing the border by land, and apparently the tourist buses I would be taking are sketchy. I had heard that they tend to leave people at the boarder, leaving them to take a taxi to their destination.
I'm still recovering from the trek, my legs hurt so much. I've been in Chiang Mai for about a week now, The longest I've stayed in any place since I arrived in Asia.
It's a medium sized town, so it's not as crazy as Bangkok. The central part of town is surrounded by a moat. It's a backpackers haven. Lots of activities to do, guesthouses and opportunities to meet other travelers.
