Temples and Conchords

Yesterday I went to Doi Suthep temple which is half way up a mountain outside of Chiang Mai centre. I thought I would be a bit templed out, but this one is like the daddy of all temples up here and it was really impressive.

The view over Chiang Mai was stunning and I had a nice walk around, looked at lots of buddhas, found an amazing old record player in a museum.


The best part was actually the taxi back. I had this really cool driver who was called Chai and was about 45ish from what I could work out. We spoke in very broken English with him testing me on my Thai 1-10 numbers and him saying AGAIN AGAIN whenever I got it wrong.

We got up to 30 and I was doing well, but Chai wanted a music break. His radio was broken so he got out his mobile and we shared some headphones whenever we were stopped at traffic lights (every 5 seconds). The first song he played me was just not what I was expecting - Flight of The Conchords! 

You like, you like?! You know song?!

I tried to say Yes! I love it! but I could only nod because I was laughing so much.  We had a little singalong. It was bizarre but great fun.
