Chiang Mai, Thailand

We got up at 5Am on our 3rd day in Thailand for the 400 mile flight to Chaing Mai. The highlight of the day is snakehead soup and a snakehead fish dish that is super spicy.


Bennett and Ken spend the day taking us to mountain temples. There are as many temples in Chiang Mai as there are in Bangkok.




This remote mountain temple only had one monk. We had a conversation in English.













The Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep temple is at 3,500 feet in the mountains overlooking Chiang Mai.



The temple is very famous and draws lots of tourists like us.





The temple was built in this site after a white elephant trumpeted three times and died on the spot in 1368 A.D.
