Motorbike ride up to Doi Suthep...

So I am taking a couple days off from my studies to tour outside of Chiang Mai. My first (and only) stop was just outside of the city, a mountian called Doi Suthep....A holy temple called Wat Prathat Doi Suthep sits atop. I was planning on making a day of traveling around from place to place but once I got up to the temple I spent the next 4 hours just wondering about and soaking it in. It really was an incredible site. The entrance was covered with vendors selling various goods so I quickly got the feeling I had landed in a bit of a tourist trap but nonetheless, the temple was beyond words, and well worth a visit (and the climb up the stairs).

Hope you enjoy the photos...(click to enlarge)
