Chiang Mai

We (Kate) decided we should follow the lonely planets suggested temple walk around Chiang Mai-

so off we go- book in hand :-)

It soon turned into Kate's temple tour as  we did take a few detours- on purpose ( honest ;-0)

The problem being we spotted more VW's than temples and well couldn't resist them ;-)

Its a good job we can't drive them  home that's all I can say lol!

Eventually we found some temples.

There are a lot more monks in Chaing Mai.  To go into the temples, you must cover shoulders and knees.  Also if a monk is on the pavement, Kate has to go onto the road so there is no danger of the monk brushing past her.

This is Wat Chedi Luang dating 1441 believed to be one of the tallest structures in ancient Chiang Mai.

It was damaged by an earthquake or cannon fire?

Okay so its moved onto Vespa's, temples and VW's.

After a few circles of the old city we retired for some well earned rest.
