Wednesday, December 13, 2023Walking back from Chiang Mai Ram Hospital Wat Lok Moli Being one of my favorite temples, I have posted about Wat Lok Moli (sometimes spelled Wat Lok Molee) many times. The staff at The 3-Sis where I have stayed almost every year for 10 years, knowing that I like to visit and learn about the Thai temples, sometimes ask me what my favorite temple is today. After more than ten years, I […]

Wat Saen […]

This afternoon I’m scheduled to have a chi nei tsang (CNT) […]
Monday, December 4, 2023Wat Nantaram When I was writing my post about my walk south of the old Chiang Mai city, it seemed to be long so I skipped a couple of the temples I had stopped to view. Those temples are Wat Nantaram (which I mentioned) and Wat Puak Hong close to the Samlaan Barber near Saen Pung Gate. I have mixed feelings about Wat Nantaram. Historically, this was an important temple in the […]
