Chaing Mai, Thailand

After our stay in Bangkok, we traveled to Chaing Mai, in the upper portion of Thailand. Chaing Mai means "New City." After getting there, we went to a "Khantoke" Dinner. (Khantoke means a pedestal tray used as a small dining table.) The next day we went to Chaing Dao (City Star) and fed and rode the elephants. They took us to a local tribe in the forest. Afterwards, we had dinner and a raft ride down a river. The next day we went to "Wat Phra That," a temple with a green glass Buddha statue. It was a wonderful trip.
