Chiang Rai And Buddha's Cosmos !

We visited Doi Tong, a peaceful Buddha's site around 30 minutes walk from the centre of Chiang Rai. At the centre of Doi Tong was a raised stone platform where each step represented a new level in Buddha's Enlightenment. It was a very interesting detour away from the night market of this town where we enjoyed our outdoor "spiedini" - BBQ meat with a couple of whiskey (leftovers from Myanmar days !) and soda; there was also a nightly amateur-ish stage dance to entertain us !
