Chiang Mai, capital of north Thailand, has an old city that contains a beautiful display of Buddhist temples. In Thai you say wat. No what, wat. WAT is a temple. Mixing it with English is funny as you this song might prove.
Here are some pictures you might enjoy. Most were taken the day we took a scooter around the city and even reach the relatively famous Suthep temple. This post is scheduled to be published when we're already in Laos so don't trust this blog to depict the present.

| Hard to pass by when people kneel down before you and ask for a blessing... |
 |
| The meditating Dana |
 |
| Frognector was nearly devoured by the temple dragon |
 |

| Near gilded temple paraphernalia, Frognector spotted some playmates |

| Yummy tofu noodle soup, maybe I'll have another right NOW |
