Ching Mai - Pagodas

Ching Mai - North West Thailand

My visit to Chingmai earlyApril of  last year was interesting. We took the midnight train from Bangkok  to the North Western part of Thailand close to the Burmese border. The train ride took us to the hills where the scenery reminded me of my childhood growing up in the hills of India. I spent my early childhood in Kalimpong, located in the foothills of the Himalaya mountain . The terrain in Chingmai was very similar .

The pictures of the Wat Phan On Pagoda, constructed around A.D.1501 was one of the many temples I visited in Chingmai.

For those who enjoy local food, there are many restaurants one can go to almost at every corner of the streets. My brother took me to this outdoor restaurant where we had a lovely Thai northern food. It was delightful.
