Chiang Rai

One of the things we are thankful for during this season is another safe and meaningful trip to Thailand to visit Eric, Angela, and Gabe. These pictures were taken in Chiang Rai, which is about a 3-hour drive north from Chiang Mai. We spent a few days there and learned about the Golden Triangle--where Thailand, Laos, and Burma (Myanmar) meet. It is a favorite site for tourists. The children in the last picture had the day off from school and knew that they could make some money by offering to have their picture taken with the tourists. We did not disappoint them. The first picture was taken from our Dusit Island Hotel window--a beautiful place, available at pre-"high season" rates. It was so nice to spend some time just relaxing, sightseeing, and visiting.
