Well it didn't take us to long to jump right in and join the crowds of crazy motorscooter drivers. We rented a little 150cc scooter from a Dutch man named Yan for a mere $2.00 for 24 hours ... no that is not a typo. In no time we were flowing with the traffic and heading out to Doi Suthep, which is one of north Thailand's most sacred temple. The story goes something like this: the site was chosen by an honored Buddha mounted on a the back of a white elephant which wandered until it stopped and died on Doi Suthep. This is a big Thai tourist location for watching the sunset in addition to worshiping at the temple. For us, the most interesting part was the windy road up to the temple. We are still not sure why there is white line on the road as no one really seems to consider it a lane divider. To add to the excitement John had to remember to drive on the left side of the road. Always an adventure!
