Elliebum - Chiang Mai, Thailand

This was where we stayed after leaving the amazing Secret Garden which was located fairly far out of town. We wanted to spend a few nights in Chiang Mai itself so that we could more easily wander the night market, visit some other Temples and just be closer to the action. I found this again with Trip Advisor and the reviews were all spot on. It was a very small guesthouse with only two rooms and a recently opened sister guesthouse with eight rooms about 500 yards down the street. Gade the young owner was gracious, extremely helpful and very hardworking. She also cooked the best crispy bacon on our trip so far as judged by the kids. OK, I agreed with them. Why does most of the world prefer soggy, chewy bacon anyways?!

Of course the other fun thing about this place was the play on words in the name. Elliebum is short for elephant buttocks and the logo and other similar decorations are scattered about. We thought not of wild animals but our niece Ellie, which provided the kids more than a few good chuckles and many good thoughts about her. Everyone misses her a lot!

WGGSH - Yes

WWSHA - Yes, but it would be hard to stay here over The Secret Garden
