Highlight of the flight? The Auntie Anne's pretzel sandwich, filled with pork bologna and crab stick! Throw in a single serving packaged cup of water - and we're talking a breakfast for champions:
Our hotel - Chedi Chiang Mai - has quite a zen feel, here is a quick pic:
After settling in we took off to Doi Suthep - the temple atop the mountain in Chiang Mai. The temple was built back in 1383. Its real name is actually Wat Phra That Doi Suthep - but most just call it Doi Suthep - the name of the mountain/national park the temple is on.
Great views from up here:
309 steps up to the pogodas, with some sweet dragon railings:
Shoes off before going inside everyone!
We found one of the monks tending to his grass and sneakily snapped a shot. He had a pretty sweet Koi pond that you can see on the left here as well:
The sattelite tv isnt exactly zen, but I suppose we can understand where they're coming from:
We also took a quick tour of a jade factory/store. Few pics of guys carving stuff, and some stones.
We went straight from here to zip lining about an hour north of Chiang Mai - no pictures handy now, so will have to follow up later.
Off to dinner! More soon!
