This morning we caught another songthaew to Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, which is another temple that looks over the Chiand Mai province, although it is very easy and so there is'nt much too see. The temple is impressive, involving a climb up some steps and holds many buddha images. It was very busy here, with people from all over the world, but there were also many thai people praying. Surrounding the temple were mnay market stalls mostly selling food.

After finishing here we took another taxi half way back down the hill towards chiangmai and got dropped off at the edge of a National park, that is home to loots of waterfalls. It was'nt unitl we had paid that vwe discovered we had a 6km round trip walk ahend of us to see the watrefalls. However, the walk was worth it as the waterfalls were very good and nobody else was there.


That evening we had gorgeous Thia food at a place called Rotanas Kitchen. Not only was the food fab, but for 2 pound we both had a starter, main dish a 2 drinks each - bargain!
