an earlybird's view of Chiang Mai

note: I am catching up on blog posts, and this one is out of order - it took place in Thailand, before I took the slow boat into Laos

During my week in Chiang Mai, I went on several early morning runs (if I ran at any other time I would have melted in the heat). On these runs, I was able to see a different side of the the city - what it's like before the streets were choked with pedestrians, mopeds, tuk-tuks, and cars. Here are some photos I took during my runs, which document Chiang Mai's early-morning activity:



sweeping up the mess fro the previous night's market




looks like I'm not the only one crazy enough to run in this heat




the early morning sun hitting one of Chiang Mai's many temples




locals getting in some early morning prayers with the monks




early-morning Tai Chi
