New Temple Celebration - Chiang Mai

[DrB0b]

Just been cleaning up my photo collection and found a few that I though people might enjoy seeing. These were taken about two years ago. They're pictures of part of a celebration after building a new temple, about 30 miles outside Chiang Mai. The temple was built by the local villagers and once it was finished the people from all the villages in the area were invited to the party, as were relatives of the villagers from all over the country, mostly Bangkok. All the visitors brought money trees with them and raised almost enough money to pay the full cost of construction. Photos were taken with an itty-bitty camera so the quality's not high.
