Ahh, Chiang Dao!
One hour north of Chiang Mai, home of towering redwoods and an impressive mountain range, Chiang Dao proved a fabulous warm-up to our actual roadtrip, which began a few days later.
We called Chiang Dao Nest home for the night – enjoyed a dip in the pool, a walk up the hill, and a Michelin-worthy Euro dinner. (Delicious and oh-so filling - western food sure is heavy!)
The walk included several hundred stairs, which ascend to the old cave redoubts of a hermit monk. The place is beautiful, and now is a bit of a retreat center for the worn-down urban Buddhist. The shrine to the late monk (header photo) contains all his worldly possessions – including his false teeth.
