Chiang Mai "walking street"



Straight down the alleyway of Phrapokklao Soi 8 -- behind the German restaurant I stay at -- the streets are alive with the sights and sounds of the Chiang Mai "walking street" Sunday market.

Across from the  brightly illuminated 3 Kings monument, young saamanen (novice monks) pray at a Buddhist shrine.

In the middle of Phrapokklao a man and woman create a puppet dance production to traditional music.

Smoke and the delicious aromas of street vendors fill the air.
