Photos of Chiang Mai part 2

At Wat Doi Suthrep, on a close by mountain
This can be seen from any part of Chiang Mai


The elephant played a large roll in the location choice of this Temple



Giants



Moat which protected the inner city




This is the site of many deaths over the years of war
One story is of a prince being held captive here
then killed...may be part of the curse


Three Kings Monument in the inner city
King Ngam Muang, Mangrai, and Ramkhamhaeng


At Wat Umongmahatherachan (don't check the spelling


Wat Panping


A presence, to be sure, but very friendly

Photos of Chiang Mai vol 1

I have many photo of different times around the city, I will try to label some, but my eidetic memory isn't what it once was....What the heck is eidetic?

The Cursed Mansion


Naga helping to shield Buddha







A gift from the King



These old brick walls were part of the defence system here


















Part of the Curse....I think





This white temple is right along the canal
