Temple on the Mountain



Just before sunset on Sunday night, a group of us to a pick-up truck to visit a Buddhist Temple on the top of the highest peak in Chiang Mai. After 20 minutes of traveling up a winding road trying not to slide out the back of the truck and 300 stairs, we finally reached Dio Suthep. The view from up top was truly breathe taking (besides the smog) you could see all of Chiang Mai. We got there just before evening prayers. We actually got to observe the monks chant for over 30 minutes. It was a humbling and peaceful moment to say the least.  It was a very serene place, the smell of incense and flowers was incredible. I took some pictures with a friends camera, so stay tuned......
