Rotweiler Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 My wife and other villagers speak about the "9 shrines of Chiang Rai", a must visit tour, and want me to arrange a bus to take a bunch of us there. I have searched extensively but had no luck. Does anyone know that they are referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotweiler Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Yes - tour of all nine is to be completed in one day. Total is 440 km. I think she means visiting 9 temples in one day....not one less not one more...thai always consider 9 as an auspicious number...bring them there it's a blessing and merit making...

Rotweiler Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Wife just came home with calendars - specifically, Toyota Chiang Rai Calendars. Guess what... the 9 shrine tour is front and center on the calendar - including pics and the map. Grab one from your local CR Toyota dealer.

villagefarang Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 We were just in for a service last week and no calendar. I even started a nice topic about the good service, but still no calendar. I am truly beside myself and don't know what to do. Perhaps I should throw a farang tantrum and swear to never set foot in Toyota again. On second thought, I think I will just be happy that you have found what you were looking for and even got a nice calendar in the bargain. Hope you and your group have a great time. (Before anyone jumps on my case, this is an example of VF humor.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
