Got into the flow of Chiang Mai after a bit and started to avoid all the main streets as there are small paths running through all the roads and buildings that you can use (ok aided by GPS!) really tranquil way to wander..
Then went on a few songthaews to see the surrounding area Doi Suthat which is the temple everyone MUST see – hah! Below are two shots – the first being what all the tourists expect to see – yes has to wait some time until I got a quick shot when no one else was around – the second is what you actually see! It was heaving with tourists 😊…
