Guess what we have done for the last 2 days?........Looked at temples! Each one is quite different so we haven't been bored. Yesterday we walked all day again to local temples and today we hired a scooter to see the temple at Doi Suthep which is in the hills about 14 km away, as well as 2 other temples outside the city. Martin had a motorbike years ago so he enjoyed it - I rode pillion and closed my eyes a few times.
It was probably a mistake going up to Doi Suthep today as it is a public holiday - I had read that people visit temples during the evening but I reckon the whole local population decided to go during the day. It was mad. Just like the Sunday market last night which was crammed - "all part of the experience " said Martin. (We had another cheap dinner including a large punnet of delicious, locally grown strawberries.)
We 'whatsapp called' Kath this morning - she was making use of Macdonalds wifi whilst waiting for a bus to go to Rotorua. At the same time she was facebooking Jess and Ryan who were making use of the Macdonalds wifi in Taupo!
I will load up some photos but at the moment this tablet isn't playing ball.
We have just repacked our backpacks putting jumpers and raincoats at the bottom as we shouldn't need these until S Korea. Tomorrow we catch the bus for a 3 hour journey to Chiang Rai which is quite far north near the golden triangle where the borders of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos meet. We have booked the VIP bus with air conditioning - less than £5 each!
