As Yum Boi Boi was closed for the Khao Phansa Buddha Days,
we invited our staff to a Korean barbeque restaurant,
in Thai called Moo Kata, just around the corner,
at the Santitham Plaza Komplex, Chiang Mai.
While we first visited the new buddhist temple
Wat Morn Thean in Chiang Mai North Thailand
we´ve been astonished at the outstanding artwork of this temple.
At this time of the year, after Songkran (middle of March),
it´s very hot in North of Thailand.
It´s the beginning of the hot season
and temperatures are raising to over 40° Celsius.
While the Songkran festival 2009 is overshadowed by the redshirt protests
against the current government, bookings for hotels dropped by 50 %.
Restaurants, bars and other entertainment places are empty
and have to sack parts of their staff,
but there is no solution for the political trouble in Thailand in sight.
Vom 10.04 - 14.04.2009 geht in Chiang Mai Nord Thailand das thailändische Neujahrsfest Songkran 2009 mit der weltgrößten Wasserschlacht über die Bühne.
