North Thailand calls - Trekking

The photos we have attached are of one of the surrounding temples in Chiang Mai, the two day hike we did as well as some interesting festivals. There have been huge celebrations for the King's 60th anniversary of his accenssion to the throne...one of the photos depict the Thai's en masse march to celebrate this day- they walk all the way to the local Chiang Mai palace.
