marya, we really enjoyd the town of Chiang Sean as well. There is a nice museum there (though your teens may not be interested, crosscheck) and we very much enjoyed the market. We love markets so walked through it on our own, but also went there as part of our cooking class.

Thanks for the list, Marya. How long were you at the Anantara? How old are your kids? And did you happen to go on the sunset trek to an Akha village? That's the one activity we have planned that didn't show up on your list.
