Train From Chiang Mai to Bangkok on December 31, 2015 - 12 Hours













Final Photos from Chiang Mai, January 30, 2016

There will be three pages of photos with this posting. The first one is just ahead of this page. These are pictures from along and around the canal. The one object in the dark is of a corner of the old wall on one end of the canal, lighted all night. Then as I walked, I saw this young man playing music on the opposite side of the canal.
There are three photos of one of my favorite eating places in Chiang Mai. One photo came out of sequence. This is a family run business, and they come in with everything on a small trailer. They set up, and open for service, selling several different varieties of soup....all with the one base. Just add chicken, pork or beef. Simple, yet good.

After these few pages, I will be off internet for about a week, probably doing another posting on February 7.  I will be 50 kilometers out in the country, looking after my two youngest grand children, (13 and 16), for the week while their parents take a short vacation down to Las Vegas. Since the two girls like to cook and look after things very well, my main job is to just be there. I will drive into the city Monday, Wednesday and Friday for my volunteer work.

This site has had over 5700 contacts, ...500 since January. I thank everyone for their interest.

The next set of photos will be of the train to Bangkok, (note the seat backs), some rice fields at different stages of production...some starting, some ready for harvest....they have two crops each year. The fields are flooded to start toe plants.
That will be followed by the New Years eve street lights, fireworks and a few sights around Bangkok. The clock indicates 4 minutes and 17 seconds to midnight.

The third photo posting is of the architecture and street scenes around Bangkok.
