The End of the Road....... With limited time left, Paul and Carolyn threw themselves in to a frenzy of activity in Northern Thailand.Having left rainy Laos behind, they packed their days in Chiang Mai with plenty of adventures. This area is well known for its temples and its treks.Before venturing out in to the surrounding jungles, Paul and Carolyn spent some leisurely time taking in the temples in the Old City.
