Chiang Mai

Today we explored the old city of Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai is the unofficial capitol of northern Thailand, and it has the greatest concentration of Wats outside of Bangkok. Wats are Buddhist temples and many also have facilities where Buddhist monks can live and study. We spent the day enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

We finished off the evening with a stroll through the local "night bazaar" where hundreds of street vendors hawk their wares, a crazy scene.
