SMOKE, MOTHS & TEMPLES

SMOKE

The smoke here continues unabated. 

I had thought that by now it would have all blown away but that doesn't seem to be so.

We might decide to head south and spend a week on Koh Samui

to get away from it for awhile.

MOTHS

One evening we walked out of our condo and were inundated with small white moths.

They were everywhere, not just hovering around the lights as in this photo

but flying all around our heads. One flew up my nose and when I snorted it out

another one flew in my mouth.

We made our way to a restaurant and sat inside for dinner. When we emerged from the 

restaurant about 45 minutes later, the moths were gone. 

Haven't seen hide not hair of them since. 

TEMPLES

A Buddhist temples here is called  a Wat.

They can be seen in every part of the country and Chiang Mai has more than its fair share.

From the outside many of them look like quite unimposing buildings 

except for their elaborate roofs. Others  are elaborate both inside and outside.

Inside they can be simple or very elaborate.

After seeing a few they all start to look more or less alike.

However, it is the detailing that sets them apart. 

Here are a series of photos of details of several of the local wats.
