Chiang Mai

For those of you that have been check often, I thank you. We have been lazy these past few days, not seeing too many sights in Chiang Mai, and as a result, not blogging too much. I’m sorry to report that it will probably be more of the same in the coming months. We will [...]

Tanjore

Tanjore is  small busy city that boasts a nice old temple (with World Heritage Listed status). First we checked out a palace though (it was on the way). The palace wasn’t anything too special, but it did have a few highlights. There was a museum and an art gallery, but we didn’t check them out [...]
