Chaing Mai.. The Old City and Wat Prathat

 

We had a day exploring the old City which is surrounded by a moat.  We just walked and explored the Temples.

Chang Mon, is the oldest temple in Chang Mai.

 

 

Getting around town, we got the Brenner family of 5 crammed into a TukTuk...  John got the best view in the front.

 

 

We then went to Wat Prathat which is at the top of the mountain.  It also required a long walk up 309 stairs.  Gillian and John tried to count them on the way up, but got messed up by Dad and Charles calling out the wrong count.. Ha!

This was the view from the top of the mountain.

 

At the temple, we shook a canister of sticks.  The first stick to fall out had a number which corresponded to a fortune. 

 

 

 

The kids also rang a lot of the bells...  for good luck.
