This weekend, we managed to get over to Chiang Mai, the capital of northern Thailand. It used to be the capital of the Lanna Kingdom, which was absorbed into Siam in the 18th century. Chiang Mai is famous for furniture shops, but we wanted to relax after a tiring week so we took it easy. We did manage to visit a few temples, including the very touristic Doi Suthep on a hill nearby. Our favourite temple was the Chiang Man, from the 13th century and in the old city (surrounded by a moat and walls). Attached are some pictures from this trip.
