Wats and Wats!


Yesterday was buddha day here...one of the holy days in Buddhist realigion. So it was a perfect day to visit some temples. Chaing Mai has tons of them...called Wats. Sincer there are so many and since we had decided to do a walking tour, we picked a few of the most famous. Went to Wat Phra Singh...very beatiful. We purchased the traditional incense, candle and flower. Al very devoutly lit them and plced them and bowed and prayed. It was a wonderful and very unusual sight to behold. Then we walked around to eat and shop at markets but kept bumping into more temples at what seemed like every other block. We now have so many pictures of temples. Will share some of them
