Two days ago me and the Swedes (Bjorn and Ted, the girls split off in Bangkok to go to Vietnam) rented some motorbikes and went up the hill to the Monestary/Temple Doi Suthep. First time on a motorbike, and in a foreign country AND left side traffic? I really wasn't feeling too well about this. But the Swedes said it's really easy and the Thais really watch out for stupid tourists who can't drive. And they were right. We went up this winded mountain road, and it was great fun! Bjorn had a flat tire when we reached the Temple, lucky for us there was a small village right next to it that had a Bike shop. 20 minutes and 120 Bath (2,7 Euro) later we were ready for action again.
The Temple was really nice, we chatted with a monk there, enjoyed a great view over Chiang Mai and witnessed their prayer ceremony. Lots of gold paint as always, i really wonder if there's any real gold around in Thailand and how they tell the difference...
