Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai. Second largest city in Thailand, and one of my favourite places.

The old city sits behind the remnants of 700 year old walls and a moat (a good place for spotting rats in  the evening)




It's also home to over 300 Buddhist temples, which made me realise that it's been quite a while since you were subjected/ treated to a Temple Day.

So blogmates, join me as we enjoy/endure an abundance of Buddhas, a wealth of Wats and indeed, a smorgasbord of stupas.

And before any of you write in to complain, think on. You only need to scroll through these. We had to visit them. It's been shoes off/shoes on all day, and at our age let me tell you it plays merry hell with your joints after a while.

Anyway then, for your viewing pleasure (or otherwise) :











 
These wax monks were frighteningly realistic. JB claimed to have seen ear wax in one of them.....
