Thai resort...

Suan Bua Resort in Chiang Mai, Thailand: peaceful. beautiful. welcoming.

This is where most of my time was spent, as we only had 1 1/2 days off (which I packed full with touristy stuff!)

Fortunately outside the weather for the most part was lovely- only chilly in the early morning and evening/night. Unfortunately they kept the ACs in the lecture halls on, so it was quite cold inside! There were places to enjoy meals inside and outside and multiple buffet lines. A great resort for lectures, meeting with people and some quiet time.
