I think this basketball goal at the same park where the playground was may just about be the saddest looking little basketball goal I’ve seen.
Oddly, there are a lot of sad little basketball goals around…and they’re rarely used, it seems. The whole time I’ve been here, I’ve seen two kids playing, and they were taking shots like a three-year-old with the plastic hoop. Part of me wanted to go over and give them a little coaching. Or at least see if I could play a game of H-O-R-S-E or something.

The heat and humidity of Chiang Mai is heavy. But not as bad as I thought it would be. Still, I thought a good mid-day escape would be sitting in an air-conditioned theater. Unfortunately, the afternoon’s movie choices were only Harry Potter (not sure which one, the posters are in Thai) and Die Hard 4.0. Neither seeming too appealing, I just wandered around the mall instead and was stunned to find one of my favorite pastimes. I didn’t have any change with me, but I’m sure I’ll be back to play the Thai version of Photo Hunt (and if you’ve never played before, it’s basically like the find-the-difference game from Highlights). So much fun. Everyone should play at least once.
