Today we spent the morning visiting 2 Wats in the old part of the city. When we started out the heat was not too bad but as the day progressed the temp got hotter.
We entered the grounds of Wat Chedi Luang and wandered around to the back area of the grounds where there is a beautiful old Wat ( I beleive that is what it is called ). It is very old and some of the brick is missing along with most of the elephants that once went around the wat. It is beautiful and if you every come to Chiang Mai you must make your way and see it. We also went into the Temple and before leaving we put some gold leaf on a buddha statue.
Next we wanted to the end of Ratchadamnoem Rd to visit Wat Phra Singh. Another beautiful Wat to see. When we were there the grounds were filled with young monks. They were all called in to the Temple to sit and listen to an older monk . Since we could not understand what was being said we did not really know forsure what was going on. It was just a great site to see.
Today I had my 3rd massage. First was anoil massage, 2nd a back,neck,shoulder,& head, and today I had a foot massage. Something that this time around Rene and I both said we were going to do as often as possible. Last time we only had a few and after you leave you realize what you had missed. It was great but it did hurt every now and again. Some of the pressure points on my feet are on the sensative side.
A few hours ago now we were walking the Saturday Walking Market just south of the old city on Th Wualai. We stopped and ate at a road side vender before venturing across the very busy street and down to the market. I bought a nice white long sleeved cotton shirt for about $3.00 and Rene got himself another pair of shorts. Not as busy as the Sunday Walking Market but it was still pretty crowded.
Now to try and add on a few more pictures.
