Chiang Dao Buddha


Chiang Dao, originally uploaded by Robbi Baba.

Unlike so many tourist stops, this temple complex offered us many seemingly random or chance encounters and sights. It was a rambling affair with endless unmarked nooks and crannies. It was all so unstructured and tested our comfort limits around trespassing and nosing about.
There was one cliff wall that was encrusted with burial niches. Each one with a little statue. At first we didn't notice them, but as we walked along the base of the cliff it became apparant that we were visiting a most unusual cemetary.
I could've spent the whole day there.
