Chiang Mai

The second biggest city in Thailand and the center in the north is Chiang Mai. The city and surrounding is full of temples and it would take many days to see them all, there are about 300 of them. Here are a few one's:

The old center is surrounded by a city wall and a moat.

High on the top of a mountain is this temple, the holiest place in the north of Thailand and a good viewpoint (if only the weather would have been better, it was very hot, but not clear...)

The palace of the king. Well, in fact it's only the winter residence for a few months, during the rest of the year visitors can enter the ground and walk through the gardens, but unfortunately it's not possible to go inside the houses.
