Seven Fountains, Chiang Mai

The Jesuit-run Retreat Facility in Chiang Mai, located along Huay Kaew Road. It was named as such because there used to be seven springs in the present site. Strolling around the place, I couldn't find a single spring however.

**note on the begging bowls:
Scattered evenly as decorative pieces around the chapel, these bowls are the same ones being used by the Buddhist monks for begging.

Bus Trip to Chiang Mai

The land trip from Bangkok to Chiang Mai took us 9 hours and 30 minutes. We left at 830pm and arrived at 6am the next day. We rode in those double decker buses that ply the Bangkok to the neighboring cities/provinces routes. The road to Chiang Mai is really well-paved, and considering the distance it covers (about 700 kilometers from Bangkok!), I can only sigh when I think about how a 10-hour ride can only take me as far as Banaue (which is about 333 kilometers).
