Hot Springs in Chiang Mai


Not sure what Bathing with the bowl or Bathing in the basin mean?

Kari enjoyed the warm waters.

A frog that jumped into the wrong water.  It was a little to hot for this guy.

All of our feet in the hot springs.

There is a lot of force in these hot springs.

Cooking eggs in the hot water.

Our evening at Rimping Market Chiang Mai Thailand

In the evenings a very common thing to do is go to the market.  Most Thai people go out to eat every evening and is a social even.  They set up stands about 5:30 and tear them down a couple hours later.  Here are the photos taken one night Nov 2013 near the Rimping Market in Thailand
