Chiang Dao

 A temple that overlooks the city of Chiang Dao.


 Ms. Moses hiking through the monasteries in the countryside.


While hiking we discovered a cave that was part of the Buddhist monastery. At the entrance are Buddhist statues set in the rock walls. Deep in the cool interior we came upon a Buddhist shrine and female monk meditating in extreme silence.  
 

 A fellow traveler on the bus to Thaton gave Al a great handshake.
