New year trip to Chiang Mai

After 7 years from my last visit to Chiang Mai, my whole family went back n revisit the city.
Things changed alot, roads are wider n there are alot more houses and shops around
This time spent around 6 days in Chiang Mai...
summary of this trip was...

Thailand is really a heaven for food and shopping.Plus Chiang Mai has like 300 temples, we visited around a dozen of them...because according to the locals it is believed that if u visited 9 temples during the new year period u will have good luck throughout the year.

the trip started off with pictures...again...lol

First stop is a temple, to pray for blessing for this trip
the temple was impressive...really old the Buddha statue was heaved up into one of the pagodas
