Day 44 Doi Setup and other temples

The German girls and Stuart wanted to do this massive day tour and I was less than enthusiastic. It came with a mighty price tag and a list of things that I had come across on my travels already. So I opted to keep my motorbike for the day and venture to a large temple about 10 km from the city center. I was a bit worried at first because the man at the guest house told me the road was quite windy and the first thing that popped into my head was the windy road up to Mt. Baker but I thought I would head out there and if it turned out to be too hard I would simply turn around. I kept my speed down and found it to be just fine. The temple was worth it! The spectacular stupa was under repair but there were loads of other things to snap pictures of. I had a grand day and found myself a slurpee!


Welcome to the temple!

Then I putzed around town. Now I wish I new the name of each temple I visited but there weren't always English signs at them and some of them I literally zoomed in and out....


rawrrrrrr
