Next we travelled along the river to Chiang Saen to visit a temple so important I forgot it's name, probably Wat Mahathat like most important temples seem to be. Actually there was a Wat Mahathat just outside town on a hill that I went to photograph but after taking the landscape (last pic below) I got attacked by some bees / wasps / flying bastards and got stung several times on the shoulder so I threw a strop and got in the van refusing to photograph any temple with aggressive animals living in it.

The main ubosot at this temple was quite interesting as it had no walls. The light was very difficult to balance so this is in fact a HDR, which is noticable by the wind movement on the banners down the left hand columns.
