Chiang Mai Saturday!

The shops around the city are lots of fun to explore. We found placemats and coasters at this Basket Shop. They went a long way towards making our apartment space more homey.

There is a small Art Gallery just around the corner from us and we had a great conversation with this Thai artist.

This evening we made our way to the Saturday Walking Market. It’s a great place to try a variety of street food.

A couple of young boys reported that these Scorpions-on-a-Stick were quite tasty but not sure if it was a trick just to get us to buy one!

We opted for spicy Khao Soi Noodle Soup.

Below Larry is waiting to buy a portion of Mango with Sticky Rice–one of our favorites! The market is jammed with locals plus tourists and it wasn’t long before we were ready to head back to our neighborhood.

One of the things we love about the location of our apartment is being near the Kate Wat Temple. We walk through the Temple grounds several times each day. This is how it looked at dusk.

The weather is warm and we’re happy…all is good!
