Geo: 18.7833, 99.0001Pom picked us up at 9am at the Hotel, and we headed off to the Doi Suthep, a very special Temple on top of one of the largest mountains, only this is not just another Temple but as written on our tickets a "secret peak that speaks at old customs, where mother nature's beauty cloth unfolds over the golden name of Nakorn Ping."

The Zoo was amazing ... read more
