Shenanigans Unpacked

Follow this midlife mess in motion on a 3 month journey to the opposite side of the world
where I plan to sweep out the brain closet and unpack the shenanigans of my inner child.
God I hope they have coffee.

030 – Chiang Rai Photo summary

Crossing into Thailand
I should have learned in Vietnam and Laos, but I don’t read well. No photos at immigration sites. But it is so pretty!
I find you! Hello MJ!
My first Temple fortune from the Vegas fortune machine.
Naga eating Naga, or something. Still don’t get it.
Naga with Cat at Wat Jed Yod
Wat Jed Yod Lanterns
The Chiang Rai Clock Tower at night. Without the lights and music.
Napkin boxes on every table. I have no idea why I took this picture.
Dinner the first night in Chiang Rai provided several options. I did not select snake head fish and small shrimp soup. I am not sure I chose better, but I did not choose this.
It is looking at me and sticking out it’s tongue.
I see the light! I’m coming to the light!

Our Hotel. La Terrarium Bed and Suites

Sitting area
Lobby? Pond? Bridge? Dining room?
Breakfast area
This guy was being coi.
The office
I don’t care what anyone says. This fierce little lions and his cocks are the cutest ferocious protectors of a temple I’ve seen.
Street signs in Chiang Rai are very decorative. Still can’t read them but decorative.
We found the fabric district. I am told people bring suitcases and fill them with fabric it is so inexpensive and wonderful.
we walked by this shop and I asked “What are all the Easter baskets for?”
They are not Easter baskets. They make up baskets filled with things the monks need, then people buy them and give them to the monks to make merit. I still say they look like Easter baskets, in an equally commercial yet less selfish way.
Just your average casket storage shed on the side of the road.
flowers are everywhere here. Growing on trees, bushes, cracks in the sidewalk…
Tire protection from the hot sun.
My first successful scheduling of a grab ride. I am so rural.
Women can go both ways
Men wee in the weeds.
Blue Temple cat. He was pissed off about something. I think it was the Astroturf. Or maybe he didn’t like his fortune. He was hanging out by the fortune telling sticks.
Lunch/dinner on day 2. Pad Thai in omelet. Or something. I am told I should take pictures of my food and share them with people. I guess if I get sick, y’all will know what killed me.
Nice place for that pad thai dinner. It was called Pad Thai Jed Yod. When we walked in, they wanted to make sure we realized they only served Pad Thai. Apparently not Jed Yod.
Pad Thai Jed Yod’s sign on the corner of the street.
Oh look. Another 7 Eleven. I think I figured out where they all went when they disappeared from the United States. Or at least the Midwest. Have not seen one in decades.
