Here are some shots from the cute and strange city of Chiang Mai, Thailand. The "old city" is still surrounded by a moat, which is where our guesthouse is. Beyond the moat are the huge markets and many bars.....we'll get to that.....
The first pic is one of the many beautiful temples - that really doesn't even scratch the surface.
The next pic was funny - we were just walking from one market to the next the other night and happened upon this cute little elephant out for his evening walk - huh???
Finally, we were able to partake in some Thai boxing - a little boring at first, but then they got quite aggressive and really beat the $@!& out of each other. Surrounding the boxing ring there is bar after bar after bar - like a strip mall, only bars - each blaring quite different music, but each with one common theme: the Thai ladyboys. These are young Thai men that dress and sometimes surgically become women, and prey on Caucasian men - needless to say, the people watching was just as entertaining as the boxing, until the nausea of seeing these old white men leave with young Thai men-women set in - anyway, use your imagination.....
Good times in Thailand!
