Devotion, a set on Flickr.

When I dream a dream, I think of the ancient city of Chiang Mai in Thailand.

I dream of its wealth in golden temples, smiling Buddhas, old walls, glittering glass and faded glories of empires past.

I dream of it's smiling monks, its orange after glow and it's many hidden Buddhist treasures I am yet to discover down small alleyways and lanes, in deep jungles and hidden valleys.

Here is a small taste of recent discoveries, both in Chiang Mai and around Northern Thailand.

Do yourself a favour, go...
