Chiangmai

A stall at the night market.  Truly incredible needleworks!  The large pieces are just mind-blowing. 

Display in front of a shop next to the night market.



The significance of textiles in Thai culture and its religious practice.




Woman selling sparrows to be released for good luck infront of a temple.

I paid 100 baht and she opened one of the little cages.  With a slight struggle, the sparrows flew off.









A little charming old temple along Tapae Road.  I'll have to get a better picture the next time to do it justice.
Some beautiful and intricate details of the temple.

Tea time!

Afternoon tea at Tea House, Tapae Road.  Coffee is good but now at 65 baht.  


The perfect tea strainer for a beautiful tea set.
