Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai

Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai from Sansai


It was a clear morning today so on my morning walk I was able to take a clear photo of Doi Suthep which overlooks the Chiang Mai flood plain and can be seen from almost anywhere in the city. Doi (ดอย) is the Northern Thai or Lanna word for mountain; the central Thai word being kǎo (เขา) or puu-kǎo (ภูเขา). The photo was take about 5 ks from where I live being about 1.3 ks behind the row of shop houses in the photo which line Mae Jo Rd and are about 10 ks from the centre of the city
