The millepede reminds me of what the Tingler looked like in the old movie The Tingler. It attached itself to the fear organ, gland, nerve, whatever, and of course killed you in the process. Everyone was on edge much the same way most people are on edge with Trump these days.
This vegetable seller has hoisted herself into the middle of all her vegetables for more years than I've been coming to Chiang Mai. But she looks like she might be worn out. I imagine she would like to die right there in the place where she has spent most of her life. She's a fixture at Warrorot Market.
Old-time Warrorot Market never changes much, which is a good thing. It's famous and there is a constant stream of Thai tourists there buying lots of old style foods they can't find anywhere else. I hope it can remain as it is for a long time to come.
One of the only places left where a person can buy Khao Lam - sticky rice inside bamboo. It's a great snack on the road. Easy to pack and the outer bamboo casing is biodegradable.
My favorite restaurant out of town a little bit next to McCormick Hospital. I discovered it in 1998 coming out of the hospital after getting a rabies shot.
A large portrait of the recently deceased king. He has largely been elevated to 'God-like' status and to put his portrait in front of a temple door kind of says a lot about that.
Northern temples are the most personal with their roof lines swooping way down to the human level. Bangkok style the roof lines are the opposite and up 50 feet or more.
