We're Back in Chiang Mai

We made it back. It seemed fairly cool compared to the humidity of KL. We walked from the airport to the Vegetarian buffet place, but as I feared, it was closed because today is Macha Bucha, a Buddhist holiday. So then we flagged a song thaew home. We got here for this religious ceremony last year, so you can see the video from our closest Thai wat.

One of the most important Buddhist celebrations - Macha Bucha Day falls on the full moon day of the third lunar month. Not particularly a festival, Macha Bucha is a Buddhist holy day and marks a point in history when 1,250 of the Lord Buddha's followers gathered to hear his sermon. Macha Bucha Day is a day when worshipers to walk three times around temples in a bid to make merit.

Since it's a holiday, they said no one would be in the office. I'm not complaining. But I do have to find out where we are meeting with the farmers to get the bus to Bangkok tomorrow night.
