Visa in the pocket, we take an overnight train to Chiang Mai to save some time, so I could be the following day at the local chinese consulate where they are a bit more flexible: a detailed itinerary will do in lieu of plane tickets!
The few days waiting for that visa, we visit Chiang Mai a bit which would be very nice without the hordes of tourists (easy to identify: most of them wearing trousers with elephants on, mystery...); and we also hitchhike for a couple of days in Pai wich is also very touristy but a bit more relaxed.
