Royal Gardens (Doi Suthep)


Zoey and my parents came to visit me in Chiang Mai. It was great being able to show them around and give an idea of my lifestyle here.

We woke up early in the morning to drive up to Wat Doi Suthep. It was raining lightly, and the skies were blanketed with mist. First we went to the royal gardens, where the Thai royal family stays for vacations. The orchids and colorful flowers were beautiful in the damp misty haze.

By the time we got to the temple, the air was fresh and the skies were clear so the view of Chiang Mai was spectacular.
