This was a charming garden in Wat Phra Singh, where we wandered and read from the trees of wisdom. Common sense and basic goodness make for very good religion in my view! Just need to stick around and soak it up!
There are so so so many temples in the Old Town of Chiang Mai. If you like walking, as we do, get your shoes on and tread the streets with a good map.
One of Thailand's most important temples - be warned about the steps!
- Pros:Relaxed pace...plenty to see and do...cool reprieve!
- Cons:Nothing to be found!
- In a nutshell:North Thailand beauty and hospitality!

Nice Chiang Mai tips! Thanks for sharing, Norman :)
This is what I like, mixing with the locals and seeing their way of life. Sounds like you had a good time.
Great page, with nice pics and tips, thank you, Pierre
I fell in love with Chiang Mai and can't wait to go back. I like the look of the Raming guesthouse
Great tips! Looking forward to visit Chiang Mai one of these days.
I'm not usually the star struck type...HOWEVER...all I can say is W O W !!! The combination of the accent, looks and sense of humor! Eddy who?!?
tell her pamukkale will be an amazing yet painful experience! she'll have to take her shoes off and the sharp pebbles are excruciating to step on! but amazing nonetheless, haha!
Best of VT is to read how others experienced a place you visited, worse finding out you missed on something excellent like the cooking school ;-)
I see why you're looking forward so much to returning to CM, Therese. You've convinced me that we'll need to visit also, should we ever get over that way.
What an amazing gift to your children , to show them the world. These pages are lkie reading a good travel piece, full of useful info but also with personal insights. The people photos are superb. That litttle girl.......Wow!
