Duang Champa Hotel-Chiang Mai

We stayed in a small boutique hotel called Duang Champa, the Thai/Lao name for the flowers we knew as Frangi Pangi. The hotel was charming, if not quite 5 stars, or even 4, it was very nice, friendly, and quiet.

The Honda Civic
This was the least expensive car available at Master Car in Chiang Mai, and we loved it. Great looks, comfortable leather interior, super stereo with mp3, powerful engine and great handling. Nice job Honda!

Buddha

We saw a photo of a beautiful carving on the facade of a temple while in the Three Kings Museum and I wanted to go photograph it. We saw the name was Wat Pan Tao but looking on the map of Chiang Mai we couldn't find it. Then while walking around the neighborhood we ran into it at the first corner. Cool!

Judy and the Mountain

We drove up into the mountains of northern Thailand and stopped at the Napamaytanidol monument, two chedis dedicated to the King and Queen of Thailand.

Judy took a look around.
