Jen Rahn commented on Wiang Kaen to Phaen Din Thong Part 2

Andrea - very glad to hear about the call from your friend. I can imagine how that wonderful news helped keep you going on this tough day.

And so happy about your connection with the boys at the New Year celebration.

No kinda fuel like connection!

Oh, I can only imagine. This bee's nest had no inhabitants. It was part of the strange "museum" at the temple. But, the Thais love it if bees make nests inside their homes because they believe it is very good luck. In the old days (before screens on windows) I knew lots of people who had bee hives inside their dining room cabinets. The bees came and went and nobody paid them any attention. Personally, I'm wary of bees, very respectful and wary.

I love this temple. I like Chiang Kham too even if it is a rather small town with not a lot going on. This temple was the highlight for sure.

Yes, I like Chiang Kham. It has a nice feel, is not too big and is totally bike friendly. The people are really nice too. Since it's off the beaten path the people are very welcoming to visitors.

Chiang Kham is nice. I always use Google maps to find out the older parts of town before the highways plough through. 1st trip with a bike and 2nd one in a car. Strangely the bike does recces better.

Selfless husbands do that. Sacrifice bench space.

Bruce,
That temple is magnificent. It alone is worth a trip to Thailand. With or without Khao Soi.

That is truly a beautiful temple. I wonder how many layers of varnish are on those high-gloss floors.

All I can say about that is one time I disrupted a bee's nest and it brought me and my wife very BAD luck.
