Sanantone in Chiang Mai

---

Celebrating my birthday in Thailand for the 3rd year in a row, great!!! Went to Doi Suthep Temple on Friday after ther were 500,000people ther on Thursday night!!! Buddha's birthday & it was busy Friday as lots of people went up the mountain to pray, so relaxing up ther. This year we had a guide, Noom, very good english & we got blessed by a monk along with Noom & other Thais who were praying. So good with a guide as you learn all the history & what everything means. Our guide in Bangkok speaks & writes excellent english, his name is Bank, Ph [phone],email [e-mail], his tour of the Grand Palace & River Kwai is excellent.I"ve posted some phtos of our Golden Triangle tour.
