First day in Chiang Mai and we decided to explore the old city and its numerous temples.
Thailand is full Buddhist temples and Chiang Mai probably has the highest concentration of them. We spent the day walking the streets of the old city exploring one temple after the other.
We've seen hundreds of Buddhas. Different sizes, positions, colors, materials, etc. there is for sure at least one Buddha that will suit your taste.
It's quite impressive to see all those temples and the richness they contain. None are locked as people respect the temples. Something we see less and less in Europe unfortunately.
People are also quite religious. In all the temples you can see Thai people making an offering to the monks or Buddha.
