We are still in Chiang Mai. Saturday ended up being another laundry day (I have fresh attire again), with a quick visit to Wat Prah Singh (big temple in Chiang Mai), then on Sunday we went to Wat Doi Suithep (big temple outside of Chaing Mai). I'm all monked out now, but the sight of monks wandering around with large cameras taking photos for the tourists isn't one I'll easily forget. I always thought buddhists eshewd technology for some reason.
We also made a trip to the Chiang Mai Zoo, and saw some extremely lazy big cats (or possibly comatose with boredom?).
Who would have thought that Chiang Mai would have a thriving Rasta community - a discovery we made on the strip of land behind the hostel we were staying in - A whole strip of bars with a reggae vibe, Jamican flags and dreadlocked Thai's. Very Strange.
Oh, Katie is currently laid up in bed as she was quite ill last night.
