At last! After many attempts we've finally found an internet connection in Laos that is just about fast enough to let us upload Piccys. So here is Gary in Chiang Mai by the lovely tree-lined moat.
Our favourite Wat in Chiang Mai - complete with impressively ruined Chedi. To give an idea of size, note the small Vicki at the base. It must have been REALLY impressive before it crumbled!Below you can see a few more pictures of us by Wats - Gary at a particularly Golden Chedi, and Vick at the base of the steps up the mountain to the same Chedi. We particularly like the serpentine statues lining the sides of the steps - many headed 'Nagas' (like the Hydra of Greek mythology I suppose).
Gary with some more serpents - this time with beaks...?!
A night time photo of a float paraded around during the festival of lights (it past our internet cafe just as we finished writing the Chiang mai blog entry above). There were loads of floats like this one - very festive, bright, colourful - and lots of Thai ladyboys!
