A novice monk and me...in Buddhism, you can be a monk for a day or your lifetime. Monks in training wear orange robes, teaching monks wear brown robes.
The temple in Chiang Mai...lots of bells here.
Gold leafing is a sign of religious sacrifice in Buddhism. I was able to buy 100 gold leaves today...I'm looking forward to using them in my work when I get home.
We visited a Chinese pharmacy in Chiang Mai. They had an amazing variety of herbs and spices there and blend them according to ancient recipes for all sorts of ailments. The herbs then marinate a large bottle of whiskey for at least three months until the liquid becomes potent. Maybe this ritual is just an excuse for people to drink a lot of booze.
