Wat walking tour

A pretty good night’s sleep, despite the jungle fowl cockerel who didn’t know when dawn was, and excellent breakfast by the pool side. We met our guide, Kandi and a family of four from Michigan for a walking tour. We left by the rear entrance and had a quick lesson in Thai before finding the first of three temples (there are more than thirty in total).

Our guide was very illuminating and gave each of us a Bhudist character description based on birth day, much to the amusement of the family we were with.
For lunch we found a northern Thai cafe and had Khai Soy, vegetables or mushrooms which was delicious. Some more temples or ‘Wat’ followed before returning for a recuperative cup of tea and fruit which had been delivered.
