From Mae Sariang, we took a trip to Doi Inthanon, which is 8,415 feet above sea level.
The landscape along the way had a great deal more working land than we had seen to this point with fields and fields of corn everywhere, even on steep hills that looked challenging to get to for harvesting. I wondered what the corn was for since I have not seen any in the markets or on the menu in any restaurants.
The day was quite cloudy and as a matter of fact we were so high up we were in the clouds!
On the top of Doi Inthanon, there are two Chedis (monuments) that were dedicated to Their Royal Majesties, The King and Queen.
Inside one of the Chedis was the story of Buddha. This story prompted me to want to go on a meditation retreat which I will be leaving for today.
As we drove through the National Park, there were several waterfalls, which somehow don't come out as breathtaking as they do when you are there but I wanted to share them with you anyway.
As we were running out of gas from our long drive, it was time to return to Chiang Mai. Perhaps these guys eat all the corn :)
Until tomorrow.............
