Chiang Mai


We spent 5 days in the Chiang Mai region of Thailand.  The first day we decided to see the Old City and Alan drove us on a scooter from Bo Sang to Chiang Mai.  At first I was scared to death.  It was bad enough that we were driving on the "wrong" side of the road, but traffic in Thailand is intense.  However, he did a great job with the scooter and we had a great time exploring.  

Here are a few pictures from the various places we visited in the Old City:

Wat Pra Singh

Wat Chedi Luang

Our second day took us up into the mountains to visit  Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep. But you can't see the temple until you climb the 309 steps!

 Of course this day included a random lunch stop as well.  Notice the father is doing the prep work and the 10 year old is doing the cooking, she was also our server.

We ended the day at the night market, where we shopped until it was time for the last bus out of town.
