Views around Chiang Mai

We've been in Chiang Mai several days now, but unfortunately most of them have been spent a little under the weather in our hotel room. We seem to be on the mend now, though, so here's a few shots from our recent walks about town:

This is a market a few blocks away from our hotel...

Some apartments and shops down the street from us...



Our street...


One of the shops on our street...

The local machinist...



The nearest major intersection...


Down by the moat that surrounds the city center...



One of the many Wats (Buddhist temples) in the city...



The entrance to another Wat close to our house with an interesting pattern on the gate...

We've seen many Buddhist monks in their saffron robes about town, as well as many more Wats. The most exciting thing to see is definitely the night markets, but those are difficult to photograph so unfortunately they might never make an appearance here in pictures.

We're going to give ourselves one more day to get completely better, then take an all day cooking class!
