Northern Thailand is a beautiful part of Thailand and very different in culture than Southern Thailand. It is famous for the many different hill tribes that live in the mountainous north. We spent time in Chiang Mai, tracking down some instrument makers and in the small oasis of Pai. Both had been devestated by floods only 2 weeks before, with Pai being hit the hardest. Many buildings and businesses were devestated and only half of the town was open. We neverthless had an amazing time visiting some hot springs in the rain and making some spelunking trips to some of South East Asia's largest caves. Chiang Mai is very special as it has over 300 temples within the city limits lending it a very spritual vibe that is a nice change from Bangkok. Hope you enjoy!
