Doi Suthep excursion

After a quick breakfast, Souvit the Tamarind Village driver took us for a drive up the mountain for a morning view of the city and a tour of the temple. Mostly photos for you as I've not had time to read up on the temples since my arrival.

I arrived into Chiang Mai late evening September 1st, met by Souvit, taken to the hotel that was quiet, lovely and relaxing; greeted with an ice cold washcloth and cool glass of tea while checking in.

Leo and Sony arrived early the next morning and so the adventure began...




With lotus, roses and incense, individuals present offerings.











Offerings to the gods...




Jade Buddha...











That's Sony in the distanc























Mom? She looks scary!



Leo telling a story about the bell ringers, I tell the next time I see you, it's good...











Gold, gold everywhere!




























On the way home we stopped off at some waterfalls where there school children picnicking.
