Cycling in the Country

We met people preparing to visit the local temple; it was a once a year celebration we were told.

At the 25 km point; we were hot, sweaty and hungry!

On our last full day in Chiang Mai, we joined a half-day bicycle tour in a rural area approximately 30 minutes outside of the city. On the way we saw one snake, one lizard, a local market, a temple, a kindergarten school and numerous rice fields. The route was 27km long and it was a hot, sunny day but everyone made it to the end without any problems. We all agreed it was a great way to see another side of northern Thailand.
