Chiang Mai - Sights

Spent a short weekend in Chiang Mai, Nothern Thailand.

The landmark temple in Chiang Mai Devotees offering oil at the temple A gold-plated lying BuddhaA white marble elephant This was the tuk tuk that brought me to the Poppy fields Me @ the Poppy fields Flowers!The poppy garden
The juice is scrapped off the poppy plant to make opium Traditional Native Chiang Mai products Colours! The city gates of Chiang Mai Me holding dried elephant dung. It was surprisingly light. Making paper from elephant dung Visited an elephant camp - this is a baby elephant; cute! Took a bamboo raft - it was nice but hot! Me on the bamboo raft Traditional bull-lock cart. It was a bumpy ride! This cat was on the floor of a bookshop in a hot afternoon - that's how life should be! Saw this Shih Tzu which made me miss Coffee! He has a small cute brown patch near his butt. A stray outside the Orchid Garden This dog was lying in the middle of the street in the Night Bazaar, with tons of people walking by. Mabbe that's what they meant by "Dont bother about what others think as long as one is happie" :) My loot from Boots - my favourite pharmacy in Thailand! They should come to Singapore!
