A Taste of Thai

Paul and I walked the Sunday market for what seemed to go on forever -- most anything you might ever want or need is available -- just amazing.  We took a break from market wares every few blocks to pop into a temple or Wat complex and I knew I would have to come back for photos as the mix of spiritual and cultural renderings was almost too much to take in - Chiangmai, at nearly 800 years old, has had a very diverse history, and a little piece of old and new is represented.  A few of my favorites are set below.  Sawadee kha!

Not a cultural icon, but towels as elephants -- OMG!
