Chiang Mai - Around town

The main feature today was definitely that I went to the dentist! It was the most high tech dentist I've been to. The name of the sign didn't make it worse; "Elite Smile"... Getting a fabulously professional and kind treatment, paying less than 1/4 of what I would have paid in Sweden, it felt more like going for a treat than the dentist. And I've got this one sent in the e-mail afterwards:

Elite Smile

I also met up with a wonderful guy called 'Jumbo' (after the jet plane), who's a passionate Buddhist and documentary filmmaker living in Chiang Mai. I was introduced to him from my cinematographer Sophie Winqvist, and it was a brilliant meeting. He connected me to a Swedish woman who used to live in Ladakh, whom I'll introduce to you later on. In the evening my friend Marietta took me to her favourite tailor, which was an experience in it self, deciding models, sizes and materials. The taior was incredibly professional; you could tell he knew what he was doing. In general I feel like people care about you in a real and honest way, not just to sell stuff, but also to actually take pride in their profession. No matter what it is - from a being a tuc tuc driver to a doctor.
