Doi suthep
Doi Suthep is a constant part of life in Chiang Mai. A Thai saying goes, "If you haven't tasted Khao Soi or seen the view from Doi Suthep, you haven't been to Chiang Mai." This regal mountain overlooks the city from the northwest, providing commanding views from its summit. |

The Padung women are putting brass rings around their necks. This distorts the growth of their collarbones and make them look as if they have long necks - which they don't. This row of brass rings do not actually stretch their necks but in fact squash the vertebra and collar bones. |

Thaton,chiang Rai
The sleepy riverside village of Thaton on the banks of the Mae Kok River is readily awoken by the loud, long tail boats that ply up and down at break neck speed. They are a joy to ride -as long as you like joy rides- and can transport you all over the waterways of Thailand with great ease.
