Day 2 ~ Chiang Mai

In day 2, we woke up early in the morning because we joined the one day tour to Chiang Rai. The tour guide picked up us at 7:30am, we get a relax at the hot spring first. Then we started to visit some places in one day. We visited the White Temple, unlike any temple you will find in Thailand, this one had a unique theme running through it. The pit with all the hands is a representation of hell. The murals inside the temple are very modern and contemporary, which shows things like McDonald’s, satellites, and human sperm. The message is what people in life are consumed by, and what they need to do to let go of this consummation and be happy. It’s a must see temple! Then we went to Golden Triangle and take a boat to Laos and Myanmar. After lunch in Golden Triangle Restaurant, we visited Karen Long Neck and Big Ears hill tribe. Most people know of the Karen people from television documentaries. I feel incredible while I met them in person. They are so nice and I bought some souvenir at there. Here are some photos of the one day tour. Will show you some more photos of me with Karen people and big ear hill tribe woman soon.

Have a wonderful day!
