Im back in Chiang Mai for a few days. The rainy season has finished, the days are getting slightly cooler and the air is filled with the scent of mountain flowers ( or car fumes, depending on where you are) A couple of days ago a few of us hired a truck and took it up into the mountains around Chiang Mai. We drove to highest point in Thailand, about 2500m above sea level, took photos and ate noodles. It was very cold, and very pleasant. Two temples have been constructed near the summit giving breath taking views across the mountain ranges that fill the surrounding area and so we simply decided to stay up there untill it was time to leave the national park.
