7 Days in Thailand : Chiang Mai Day 1
Chiang Mai was magic! The thought of it triggers memories of sweet incense, open air temples , smiling Buddha statues , golden paintings, bustling pubs, fresh flowers, culture, colour, lush greens, simple mountain dwellers, charming tribal groups,fresh strong coffee, monks and their prayers and the most exotic food!
I stayed in a beautiful little guesthouse build in Lanna style architecture.
Met some of the mot interesting people and went about Chiang Mai as a local would!
There are many temple complexes around here, but what caught my attention was an old Buddha statue that stands in the open air, the smell of incense, the flowers and the cool breeze
Then, had the most exotic food I tasted and seen at a lovely restaurant called The Whole Earth that serves food in original Celadon porcelain, which is quite interesting.
The second and third days will be a post on their own! Please be tuned :)

We then headed to Wiang Kum Kam, an ancient city that has been recently excavated. There are almost as much as 40 excavations in the premise. Wiang Kum Kam is certainly not a place thats going to take your take your breath away, rather it is a place so peaceful and serene, you can pause for a moment and catch your breath :)
Our tour guide, she was 82 and could not speak a word in english. She was so full of life and so passionate, one could go on looking at her beautiful smiling face.
