We went to a bunch of temples, which is mostly what you do in Chiang Mai. It's not a gorgeous town, by any means. It feels incredibly laid back and casual, an Asian hippie town. But no matter where you are, if you look up, there are gold and silver spires jutting into the sky.
Here are some of my favorite images from Wat Phra Sing:
My favorite temple in Chiang Mai was Wat Chedi Luang. It was a nice prelude to Angkor Wat. Loved the elephants around it. I could've spent all day reading in the peaceful courtyard.
The most interesting thing about the temples were how there were clusters of smaller temples around the larger ones, and some of those small temples were more beautiful and ornate than the large ones.
We ate at one of the restaurants on Intrawararot, near our hotel. Hubs had crispy pork.
I had boiled rice with duck. The dishes came with a lovely tray of condiments. I love condiments.
2 dishes + water + tip = 100 Bht.
This was the day the jet lag really hit. We went to bed very early and slept for many, many hours.
