Day One in Chiang Mai

I've settled into Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, waiting for Zee's imminent arrival, and I really like it here. It is easy to explore on foot, far from frenetic and has none of the underlying sleaziness of Bangkok (which I avoided this time by coming via Kuala Lumpur) - and isn't overwhelmed with tourists. Apparently this is the busy period but you wouldn't know from looking.

Up and out early, I've spent most of today in one or other of the town's many temple, so here are a couple of photos. More on Flickr.
