We have a travel day before and after our tour in the north of Thailand, But the tour included several very interesting places. Here is the first stop,  the Silver temple in the City.

It is set in the center of the silver artisans section of Chaing Mai. There are still silver artisans working around it in workshops,  demonstration how the temple was covered in these beautiful motifs.

Only men and monks can enter so Emmett took a picture of the interior for me!

Chaing Mai was a walled city in ancient Thailand.   Our hotel is just inside the more of the old city. across the street from part of the wall,  rebuilt about 38 years ago.   there is a small portion of the old city wall still remaining.  

Our lodging,  Hotel M, was adequate but not remarkable.   It does have a nice pool. Our room was on the back side,  facing into the old city. and from our view,  within just a couple blocks,  you can see several temples

We walked past this one after dinner last night and heard the monks chanting
