Leaving for Bangkok in the morning to catch my flight home. Its 8 hours by car so I will get some more experience driving on the left lane of traffic.

Last night in Lampang
Centrum Mall
There was a bit of a farmers market outside the mall and some of the wares included baby chicks, roosters, crayfish and a swimming pool where you could try to catch a prawn. The prize would be the prawn which were 6 inches long. The lightshade in the Starbucks was made of silk worm coccoons!
The country is still morning the loss of their King and there sre mounted photos of the king on the streets, parks, schools, government buildings etc. They had a book of condolances set up in the mall.
Rrstaurant
On our wayhome from spellunking at the National Park we found this beautiful restsurant overlooking the surrounding valley. The food was delicious and the staff we very friendly. We had Tom Yum fish soup, rice and stir fried vegetables and cold tamarind juice. It was a great find
Thamphatai National Park
Root flares on this big tree. Also paid a visit to staff who were making signs for the park.

Fish King Restaurant
Best meal on the trip and there have been many good ones. Crab, asperagus, mixed greens and rice. See the kitchen ,the clean up area out back and the mess we made of the crabs.
Sunkul Thai Massage
I highly recommend this massage parlour especially for hands and feet. These photos are of the waiting area, very interesting construction.
Prathat Temple
This is an old temple and important because it houses teak furniture dating back to the 16th century and their is an accidental camera obscura reflecting an image of the Chedi through a slit in the wall of an adjacent onto a table.

Chaing Rai night club at The Ruentip Hotel.
This is the name of the dance club in our hotel and it was hopping last night with a band. Patrons spilling out into the streets.
The other photo is of a art piece on the wall inside.
Mae Sai
Shots of the night market and the border crossing with Myenmar at Mae Sai. One very disgusting shot of a stream in the city market.

Chae Son National Park
More photos including some of hot springs and looking closely you can see 3 baskets of eggs cooking in the watet.

The climb was steep but worth the effort. The views were beautiful. The wat at the top was also beautiful? All the bells and gongs.
