Doi Suthep pictures


There are about a million steps leading up to the temple and they are flanked my Naga (dragons)


Close up of one of the dragons


making our way up


statue at the top. It looks just like you, Mom! : )


A beautiful tree and small temple behind it

'
There were many many bells everywhere, which I think you ring for good luck


Some of the temples in the area. It's more of a temple complex once you get up the stairs, not just one temple.


Two temple Stupas (sort of the equivalent of church steeples)


Some school girls preforming traditional dances


Me in front of the main stupa


The main stupa and two Buddhas


A flame in a lotus flower


A jade (i think) Buddha


Another school girl dancing


And one more


There was a rain storm on the way down. I think it was the heaviest rain I've ever seen.
