Our first stop was Wat Phrathat located at Doi Suthep. It was summer then so the weather was quite uncomfortably hot. According to our guide, the best time to visit Chiang Mai is during Winter which falls in Dec and Jan where temperature can drop to as low as 15 degress celcius. Hotel rates will definitely be at its peak during that period.
Me about to take the 309 steps to the Wat (temple). It was surely good exercise for JT & I. hehe Oh, when in Chiang Mai, you'll find that your surroundings are very Serene and Green. Trees are everywhere and it feels really good ya know.
We reached the top and thats the Pagoda behind us. Visitors must be properly dressed so am wrapped in a sarong here :)
Some renovation going on i think. 
View from the top. Over looking Chiang Mai town from Doi Suthep.
I did alot of research on places to visit and one of it is the Zoo. We paid 200 baht each just to see Panda bears! hehe
I look very shocked here because this cutie little panda bear came so close and even posed for our camera. So cute!!
The Pandas in Chiang Mai Zoo are so active and they walk about so much even i feel tired for them. I really did enjoy myself like a little curious kid in the Zoo :)
Dinner in our room. It was my birthday but unfortunately we could not go out for dinner and drinks because of the curfew and havoc in Thailand. Thanks to the Reds shirt supporters. Hmmph. More coming soon... :)
