White Stupa in Southern Chiang Mai
Today, I went to the edge of the old city in Chiang Mai and had some noodles. They were quite delicious. I especially love the variety of Thai fried pork skins, each with its own unique taste and texture. After eating, I took a walk and accidentally wandered into a local temple. It was very quiet and serene, with a beautiful white stupa. The weather was great today, making the stupa look especially bright and white in photos. Most temples have a large tree, often a Bodhi tree. I really like the big trees in temples. Standing under the tree and looking up at it makes me feel very calm and peaceful.
