Another blogging drive by, this time to Chiang Mai. We'll speed by because a) you've already visited it in one of the first entries, and b)the weather was so incredibly bad that we took very few photos. We had just bought a new place in Bangkok, and we were designing it with a mix of contemporary European furniture and Asian antiques, but we needed some functional Asian things to accent the decor as well. And Chiang Mai is by far the best place to go for home decor in Thailand, and probably in Asia. We ended up buying all sorts of kitchen, bathroom etc. pieces and shipping them back, so it was a productive trip, with the added bonus that we got to be indoor most of the time. Here are the only two sightseeing photos we took, which, as usual in Thailand, emphasize the utility cables more than the temples. Bangkok is the world leader in utility over aesthetic design, with dozens of cables draped all over every street and house, but Chiang Mai is pretty bad as well. As for the dainty parasol, I'll have to let Somchai explain that.
