The monuments here have been restaurated starting 1960 and the park is well preserved and very clean. The entrance is 100 bht/person (2.45 euro). You may visit the park by foot, by bycicle or by tuk-tuk. If you are 3-4 persons, a tuk-tuk will cost 300 bht (7.30 euro) at least for a couple of hours, and you will see the most important places in the park.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Sukhotai Historical Park, along with the Si Satchanalai Historical Park and Kamphaeng Phet are the reference places for the early Thai style. They all are part of UNESCO treasury.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Between 1238-1438 Sukhotai has been the first capital of the Siam. King Ramkhamhaeng (1275-1317) extended the territory almost to the today borders. He also invented the first elements of the Thai alphabet, encouraged trade, has not put taxes on the population, and encouraged religious equality between sexes. You will see his statue in the historical park.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The main wats we saw here were: Wat Mahathat, Wat Si Sawai, WatSa Si and Wat Tra Phang Ngoen. Beautiful Buddhas statues, Khmer architecture elements, nice chedis. Manicured lawns, palm trees, lotus flowers in the ponds and water reservoires. The park needs more time to enjoy, you may have even a picnic there. But our time is limited. So, we will see some more temples tommorrow morning, and afterward we will go to Si Satchanalai.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parcul Istoric Sukhotai ocupa o suprafata de cca. 70 kilometri patrati, pe care se pot vedea si admira ruine ale palatelor, portilor, santuri de aparare, bazine de apa, ruine ale templelor, reprezentand capodopere ale&amp;nbsp; stil timpuriu de arta Thai. El se imparte in 5 zone, dintre care zona centrala este cea mai bogata in monumente si cea mai vizitata. Ea a fost si cel mai bine restaurata (incepand cu 1960), este bine intretinuta si foarte curata. Impreuna cu Si Satchanalai si Kamphaeng Phet, aceste trei locuri sunt puncte de referinta pentru acest stil si au fost inscrise in patrimoniul UNESCO in 1991.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FeQ5guzwIeU/TzJPAmXAFUI/AAAAAAAAPu4/WXLARTaWYmI/s1600/DSCF2640.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="192" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FeQ5guzwIeU/TzJPAmXAFUI/AAAAAAAAPu4/WXLARTaWYmI/s320/DSCF2640.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Intrarea in parc costa 100 bht/persoana (2.45 euro). Vizita se poate face pe jos - daca ai timp suficient la dispozitie -, cu o bicicleta inchiriata sau cu tuk-tuk -ul, daca sunteti un grup de 3-4 persoane. Acesta va duce pe la toate obiectivele importante, timp de doua ore - doua ore si jumatate si va readuce la poarta de intrare in parc, contra sumei negociate de 300 bht (7.30 euro)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regatul Sukhotai a inflorit intre secolele 14-16, fiind incadrat de Regatul Pagan la vest si Regatul Khmer la est. Aparut cu cca. 800 de ani in urma, a fost primul Regat al Siamului. Intre 1238-1438, Sukhotai a fost capitala sa. Regele Ramkhamhaeng (1275-1317) a extins teritoriul sau aproape pana la cel de astazi. El este cel care a incurajat comertul,nu a cerut taxe supusilor sai, a sustinut bunele relatii cu China dinastiei Yuan (si chiar a calatorit acolo, de doua ori, se spune), a creat elementele care stau la baza alfabetului Thai. Prin atitudinea sa deschisa fata de budhism, a incurajat exprimarea sentimentului religios si a spiritualitatii, prin arhitectura si sculptura religioasa. Crearea unor sculpturi reprezentandu-l pe Buddha mergand si avand o infatisare mai feminina a dus la aparitia unor sculpturi pline de gratie. Acest mod de tratare a incurajat religia pentru ambele sexe, indicand egalitatea credintei, element nou pentru vremea aceea. Prosperitatea acestui regat constituie si astazi un motiv de mandrie pentru thailandezi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Oz1h9Tais1o/TzJUfP0H7nI/AAAAAAAAPvA/EOUiTdUQ4JA/s1600/DSCF2386.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="256" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Oz1h9Tais1o/TzJUfP0H7nI/AAAAAAAAPvA/EOUiTdUQ4JA/s320/DSCF2386.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;statuia din bronz a Regelui Ramkhamhaeng&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Dupa a doua jumatate a secolului al 14-lea, aparitia Regatului Lan -Na in nord (Chiang Mai) si a Regatului Ayutthaya in sud, a pus in dificultate Regatul Sukhotai. Prin casatorii intre cele doua dinastii si furnizarea de de forta de munca, Regatul Ayutthaya a dominat treptat Regatul Sukhotai.

Sukhotai, Muang Kao sau Orasul Vechi / Traveller in Thailand  17. Sukhotai, Muank Kao or The Old City</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;i&gt;We left Chiang Mai by bus, at 6 o'clock in the morning, to go to Sukhotai. The length of the way was of about 250 km and it took 5 hours. There are 12 buses per day, and a ticket costs 218 bht (5.40 euro).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;While many tourists visit Ayutthaya (former capital) from Bangkok, we choosed to visit Sukhotai, the oldest capital of Siam. It is not known the exactly year of foundation but it is thought to be between 1238-1257. The founder of the capital was King Ramkhamhaeng. The name of the place means "Dawn of Happiness".&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sukhotai (aprox. 35000 inhabitants) has a new part - which is not interesting at all for the tourists - and Muang Kao, The Old City, where the Historical Park is. This park is declared UNESCO site. The Old City is situated at 12 km West of the new one, and may be reached by tuk-tuk and songthaew. Coming from Chian Mai, the bus stops firstly in Muang Kao, right in front of the Historical Park.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Some houses, guest houses, hotels, restaurants, a small open market, and little shops - that's all.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De la Chiang Mai am plecat dimineata, devreme, la Sukhotai. Autogara orasului, la care am ajuns cu un songthaew, are multe peroane, dispuse in jurul catorva cladiri asezate de o parte si de alta a strazii, asa ca dureaza pana gasim ceea ce cautam: ghiseul de unde putem lua bilete spre destinatia noastra. Un bilet pana la Sukhotai costa 218 bht (5.40 euro) si primul autobuz pleaca la ora 6. Sunt 12 curse pe zi, distanta dintre cele doua localitati fiind de aprox.250 km. Motaim in autobuz, vazand doar din cand in cand, printre ochii abia mijiti cate un sat, un templu sau un panou urias cu portretul regelui. In rest, serpentine si, in apropiere, jungla deasupra careia se ridica ceturile diminetii. Ajungem la destinatie dupa 5 ore de drum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Multi turisti aleg sa viziteze, de la Bangkok, capitala mai veche a Siamului de la Ayutthaya. Noi am ales insa cea mai veche capitala, Sukhotai. Nu se cunoaste exact anul intemeierii sale, care se datoreaza regelui Ramkhamhaeng. Se presupune a fi intre 1238-1257. Numele asezarii inseamna "Rasaritul fericirii".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aflat la 427 km nord de Bangkok, Sukhotai a fost capitala regatului timp de 120 de ani. Orasul are o parte noua si una veche, aflata la aprox.12 km de prima. Cand vii dinspre Sukhotai, prima oprire este chiar in dreptul Parcului istoric, in orasul vechi (&lt;i&gt;Muang Kao&lt;/i&gt;). Coboram si, asa cum ne-a scris gazda noastra de aici, inchiriem un tuk-tuk care ne duce pana la pensiune (50 bht). Dupa ce ne instalam, iesim sa vedem "orasul" si sa vizitam Parcul istoric, declarat site UNESCO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sukhotai are cca. 35000 de locuitori aflati, majoritatea, in orasul nou, care nu este interesant&amp;nbsp; pentru turisti. Aici, in Muang Kao, se afla cateva case, pensiuni si hoteluri, o mica piata, restaurante si mici magazine unde gasesti cam ce-ti trebuie, fara a avea insa prea mult de ales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De pe straduta unde se afla pensiunea, mergem spre sosea trecand pe langa case tipice, care au un fata un sant invadat de lotusi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WfGqoZGOCS8/Ty5p6wa02II/AAAAAAAAPro/3QytCDSAk5c/s1600/DSCF2208.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WfGqoZGOCS8/Ty5p6wa02II/AAAAAAAAPro/3QytCDSAk5c/s320/DSCF2208.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;aici e pensiunea noastra&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VFfMLB55hNw/Ty5p9aw4tZI/AAAAAAAAPrw/VnzwnfwYK8U/s1600/DSCF2212.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VFfMLB55hNw/Ty5p9aw4tZI/AAAAAAAAPrw/VnzwnfwYK8U/s320/DSCF2212.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4yi7COijb_Y/Ty5p_a1utaI/AAAAAAAAPr4/W3u0g_MggEs/s1600/DSCF2221.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4yi7COijb_Y/Ty5p_a1utaI/AAAAAAAAPr4/W3u0g_MggEs/s320/DSCF2221.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9uTOae6-6Y0/Ty5qEthzAcI/AAAAAAAAPsA/_XE2RnPZtVg/s1600/DSCF3227.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9uTOae6-6Y0/Ty5qEthzAcI/AAAAAAAAPsA/_XE2RnPZtVg/s320/DSCF3227.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iddKSFkTrpg/Ty5qGa36iMI/AAAAAAAAPsI/C1U7RO2fgrM/s1600/DSCF3228.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iddKSFkTrpg/Ty5qGa36iMI/AAAAAAAAPsI/C1U7RO2fgrM/s320/DSCF3228.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HF-804GDPrU/Ty5qXxbj30I/AAAAAAAAPsQ/V6n4hFg59dc/s1600/DSCF2231.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HF-804GDPrU/Ty5qXxbj30I/AAAAAAAAPsQ/V6n4hFg59dc/s320/DSCF2231.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FR36h3aieYc/Ty5vUJU_uUI/AAAAAAAAPuQ/qoRat-bCXqA/s1600/DSCF3225.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FR36h3aieYc/Ty5vUJU_uUI/AAAAAAAAPuQ/qoRat-bCXqA/s320/DSCF3225.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Chiar la intersectie se afla cladirea Primariei.

A lot of subjects for a photographer!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;As everywhere, a big postret of the King, suroounded by flowers can be seen. In few days, Thailand will celebrate His Majesty’s birthday.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the large terrace, panorama of Chiang Mai is to be seen but not too clearly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;In the songthaew which brought us back in the town, we saw the Doi Suthep Mt. at a distance, behind us.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In curtea complexului ne asteapta lucruri noi. Fie ca este vorba despre statui, despre ferestre sau usi bogat ornamentate, cu mare migala si culori vii, despre cladiri sau aranjamente florale, fiecare colt ne face sa zabovim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Wat Doi Suthep (1)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I brought back almost 300 photos from the Wat Doi Suthep. Erected in 1383, it can be visited at 15 km of Chiang Mai. Legend says that the King Keuna choosed an white elephant to carry Buddha’s relicts on the Mt. Doi Suthep. He said that where the elephant will stop to rest, a temple will be constructed. The golden chedi was erected in his time, the rest of the buildings have been completed during the XVIth century.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Doi Suthep is one of the most important religious site in Thailand. The gold and the glittering colored glass, together with interesting architectural details offergreat subjects for the photographers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;A songthaew took the three of us there and back in town for only 500 bht (aprox. 12 euros). Travel time is 25-30 minutes, depending on traffic. Up there, it is a small market. You can climb to the wat on a stair with 300 steps,watched by nagas or you may take the automatic elevator (50 bht, Golden Chedi included).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Golden Chedi is surrounded by a gallery holding a lot of Buddha’s images. On the walls scenes of His life are depicted. There are a lot of visitors, many monks among them. The chedi has the traditional bell shape and the devotees go in circles around it, praying. A lot of Buddhas are around the chedi, in different postures. One of them is a large copy of the Emerald Buddha, which is now to be seen in Bangkok.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De la Templul Doi Suthep m-am intors cu aproape 300 de fotografii. Construit in 1383, el se afla aproape de varful Muntelui Suthep de la care isi ia numele, la 15 km in nord vestul orasului. Se spune ca regele Keuna ar fi ales un elefant alb, care sa poarte relicve ale lui Buddha si i-a dat drumul pe munte, hotarand ca acolo unde se va opri elefantul sa se odihneasca, va ridica templul. A construit &lt;i&gt;chedi&lt;/i&gt;-ul principal, imbracat in aur, iar restul constructiilor au fost adaugate in sec. al XVI-lea. Aurul si sticla colorata, care lucesc peste tot, la care se adauga interesante detalii decorative, le fac interesante obiective fotografice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wat Doi Suthep este unul dintre cele mai importante locuri religioase din intreaga tara, constituind un adevarat loc de pelerinaj.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CgBVlaY8zpM/Tykw8sUpR_I/AAAAAAAAPeg/w8a_o2g9xh0/s1600/DSCF1334.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CgBVlaY8zpM/Tykw8sUpR_I/AAAAAAAAPeg/w8a_o2g9xh0/s320/DSCF1334.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Am inchiriat un &lt;i&gt;songthaew&lt;/i&gt;/texi rosu care cu 500 bht (aprox.12 euro) ne-a dus si ne-a adus inapoi in oras, pe toti trei. Drumul dureaza 25-30 minute, depinde de traficul de pe serpentine. Se ajunge intr-o piata plina de tarabe, la capatul careia se afla parcarea. La templu se ajunge urcand cele 300 de trepte ale unei scari marginite de balustradele naga sau utilizand unul dintre cele doua lifturi. Urcarea, impreuna cu vizita la &lt;i&gt;chedi&lt;/i&gt;, costa 50 bht (1.2 euro).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A7eS1RDEUnk/Tyk1isJRYOI/AAAAAAAAPew/g1nWiz23AKE/s1600/DSCF1194.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="278" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A7eS1RDEUnk/Tyk1isJRYOI/AAAAAAAAPew/g1nWiz23AKE/s320/DSCF1194.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--STXRkyHYdQ/Tyk1o0v-P5I/AAAAAAAAPe4/tVoqsXF7mL4/s1600/DSCF1475.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--STXRkyHYdQ/Tyk1o0v-P5I/AAAAAAAAPe4/tVoqsXF7mL4/s320/DSCF1475.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L-dQEaP-MvY/Tyk1tBU3MfI/AAAAAAAAPfA/vmqyY8TRVMY/s1600/DSCF1482.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="233" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L-dQEaP-MvY/Tyk1tBU3MfI/AAAAAAAAPfA/vmqyY8TRVMY/s320/DSCF1482.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CnaIpcCiAXU/Tyk1zIbyLhI/AAAAAAAAPfI/RWHysEXEPPk/s1600/DSCF1484.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CnaIpcCiAXU/Tyk1zIbyLhI/AAAAAAAAPfI/RWHysEXEPPk/s320/DSCF1484.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;aici incepe scara cu 300 trepte&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;La coborarea din lift, in curtea templului, ne intampina multe flori si o aglomeratie de oameni.

Bazarul de noapte din Chang Mai / Traveller in Thailand  14. The Night Bazaar in Chang Mai</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Night Bazaar in Chang May is one of the evening attractions. It is situated near the Tha Phae Gate of the Old Town. In the evening,&amp;nbsp; the inhabitants but mostly the tourists are going there so the near by streets are full of cars and motorcycles.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;It is not the single one of the kind but it is the most well-known. You may find here a lot of things, including good little presents and souvenirs to take home, including tribal handmade products. The prices are seldom marked, so, as elsewhere in Asia, bargaining is expected. If your skills are good, you may obtain a 20-30%&amp;nbsp; off the asking price. The photos offer you a hint about what you may find there.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;If you dare, you may eat at the numerous stalls. Rarely is something like the explicit "sausage", you have to guess what it is about. Of course, beside the obvious like fruits or corn.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;If you are tired, you have the chance of a massage, if you are not disturbed by the audience.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;There I had the impression that to take photos is more tolerated than approved but this could be my experience. May be you had another one. So, try to be not so obvious.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Oh, not to be overlooked are the paper umbrellas, made in a village near Chang Mai.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Chang Mai, Bazarul de noapte este una dintre distractiile de seara. El se afla in apropierea portii Tha Phae, langa Orasul Vechi si seara parca toti locuitorii orasului, inclusiv turistii, se indreapta intr-acolo. Strazile din apropiere sunt pline de masini si motociclete.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pntOrd4Pp2A/Tyb7_1hDkKI/AAAAAAAAPa4/lRrfraJUsdg/s1600/DSCF2118.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="254" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pntOrd4Pp2A/Tyb7_1hDkKI/AAAAAAAAPa4/lRrfraJUsdg/s320/DSCF2118.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;in zona Bazarului de noapte&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Iy1W7jN0buc/Tyb8Ba8IhqI/AAAAAAAAPbA/pqK2zCq09bc/s1600/DSCF2119+-+Copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="108" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Iy1W7jN0buc/Tyb8Ba8IhqI/AAAAAAAAPbA/pqK2zCq09bc/s320/DSCF2119+-+Copy.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Nu este singura piata de acest gen din Chang Mai dar este cea mai cunoscuta si vizitata. Mail ales noi, care am stat atat de putin in oras, ne-am bucurat ca avem si seara ceva de vazut. Orientata spre turisti, piata ofera cele mai diverse marfuri, inclusiv produse artizanale ale triburilor din nord. Preturile nu sunt afisate si, ca mai peste tot in Asia, targuiala face parte din regula jocului. In general, se incearca a se obtine un pret cu 20-30% mai mic decat cel cerut. Chiar daca nu vreti sa va cumparati o amintire, puteti gasi aici mici daruri pentru cei ramasi acasa. Gasiti aici:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-X05y3gvY-RY/Tyb_WULC0FI/AAAAAAAAPbI/C8qhbQftjgw/s1600/DSCF2120.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Wat Srisuphan or the Silver Temple</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Silver Temple has a special place in the religious landscape of Chang Mai. It was built in 1502 but almost nothing is left from the original. Certain years ago a great renovation begun here. The temple is situated just outside the gate of the Old Town, in the silversmiths village. There is a silvercraft school on the premises of the temple, which perpetuates the craft.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;In the viharn you may see nice Buddha images. The walls are adorned with silver panels, depicting scenes of Buddha's life.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;What really attracts visitors here is the ubosot, covered in massive silver from the basis to the top, inside and outside. Women are not aloud inside, so I took some pictures using my zoom. There are also some shrines outside, dedicated to Ganesha.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The spaces were the monks live are very simple, like a village. We left this temple with the impression that we have just been received in a silver palace from our fairy-tales.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Templul de Argint este unul deosebit in peisajul religios al Chang Mai-ului. El se afla in afara Orasului Vechi, in imediata apropiere a unei porti, in satul mesterilor argintari. A fost construit in 1502, dar a mai ramas putin din templul original. Intregul complex se afla, de cativa ani, in renovare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uRond6m4xOw/TyUpXI3QOHI/AAAAAAAAPVI/71ZN1vTpBrM/s1600/DSCF1980.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Peretii acestuia, in interior si exterior, sunt acoperiti  in intregime de o imensa cantitate de argint. Intrarea femeilor este  interzisa, asa ca ma multumesc sa fac o fotografie a lui Buddha  adapostit in interior, utilizand zoom-ul. Se poate insa observa  maiestria si minutiozitatea mesterilor argintari. De altfel, templul  adaposteste si o scoala pentru argintari, prin intermediul careia se  pastreaza traditia acestui mestesug. Decorative sunt si treptele de  beton si braul care inconjoara postamentul pe care este ridicat &lt;i&gt;ubosot&lt;/i&gt;-ul si care este ornamentat cu semnele zodiacului.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The statue was brought from Sri Lanka, in 1367. In thai language "phra" means "priest" but it is also used for the Buddha's images, and "singh" means "lion". This viharn is made of tek wood and the facade is adorned with gold on ochre color. The walls are covered with wonderful paintings, representing the day to day life of the people but also scened of legends.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;In the ubosot we saw an interesting shrine, in the middle of the room. A lot of Buddha's images and the nice decorations are eye's catching.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The wat's grounds are full of beautiful flowers. We sat a little on a bench admiring the surroundings. Among the ordinary tourists, some monks also wandered around, making photos.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The last structure we have seen (only outside because it is locked) was the ho tray, the library. This one is considered the most beautiful in Chiang Mai. Dewas (spirits) figures ornate the wall and the superior part is made of wood. In the silence surrounding this corner of the wat, a monk was painting. We passed silently, not to disturb him. This view completed in an amazing way our visit here.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alaturi de Wat Doi Suthep si Wat Chedi Luang, acest templu face parte dintre cele recomandate a fi vazute intr-o vizita oricat de scurta in Chang Mai. Cand am fost acolo, am inteles si de ce. Desi erau suficient de multi vizitatori, numeroasele structuri din complex, detaliile deosebite ale stilului Lanna, lucratura si culorile, utilizarea spatiului, grandoarea unui viharn facut parca din aur, minutiozitatea ofrandelor florale, toate acestea te coplesesc. Wat Phra Singh este probabil cel mai fotografiat templu din Chang Mai, el adapostind cele mai graitoare exemple de arta Lanna. Intregul complex a fost renovat in 2005/2006.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Templul a fost construit in anul 1345, de catre regele Pa Yo, pentru a adaposti cenusa regelui Kam Fu, cel de-al 6-lea conducator din Chang Mai. Numele de Manastirea Leului este legat de cea mai valoroasa statuie a lui Buddha, adapostita de acest templu. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Desi l-am vizitat dupa ceea ce reprezinta corolarul templelor din Chang Mai, adica Wat Doi Suthep, templul mi s-a parut extraordinar de frumos. Practic, pot spune ca fiecare dintre templele vizitate a adus un plus de splendoare. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O pereche de &lt;i&gt;singha&lt;/i&gt; albi strajuiesc intrarea in complex, conform uzantelor in templele thailandeze.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-91iGgJCCdZI/Txwj1_uXIXI/AAAAAAAAPLA/QiaCYTg6NDA/s1600/DSCF1757.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-91iGgJCCdZI/Txwj1_uXIXI/AAAAAAAAPLA/QiaCYTg6NDA/s320/DSCF1757.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Viharnul&lt;/i&gt; are o fatada frumos lucrata si ne intampina cu un panou pe care ni se arata ce nu este voie sa faci cand intri intr-un templu.

Nici nu stii spre ce sa privesti mai intai. Imaginile lui Buddha, foarte numeroase, dau lumina templului. Nu lipseste, ca de altfel in nici un templu, portretul regelui, asezat la loc de cinste. Ofrandele facute cu minutiozitate si arta din flori proaspete, te lasa fara grai. Credinciosii isi vad de treaba printre turistii din templu. Nu te poti duce in picioare chiar pana in fata, trebuie sa te asezi pentru a poza, avand grija ca talpile sa nu-ti fie indreptate spre Buddha, ceea ce ar fi o mare jignire. Se respecta regula linistii, ca in orice fel de lacas de cult. Zabovesc mult cu ochii la un grup de statui intre care se afla, in pozitie de meditatie, un calugar. Se identifica atat de mult cu ele, incat nu-mi dau seama de la inceput daca e viu sau statuie si el. Credinciosii se inclina si se inchina in fata lui, aseaza ofrande, iar el nici nu clipeste. Este probabil in transa, departe de noi. M-am jenat totusi sa il fotografiez de aproape si am folosit zoom-ul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hMVnoN6rSZY/TxwqOu7SIzI/AAAAAAAAPLo/TheI4SncYwM/s1600/DSCF1515.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Aceasta este construita pe stalpi, conform traditiei si are partea inferioara din caramida si cea superioara din lemn. Cea de aici este considerata cea mai frumoasa din Chang Mai.

What Have We Eaten in Chang Mai?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Don’t expect me to tell you about odd or funy food! We were in Chang Mai for only one and a half day, so it was no time for experiments.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;We had lunch and dinner at the guesthouse, in the first day. In the second day, lunch was served in the Old Town, in a beautiful, serene garden, which reminded me on a lemon orchard were we ate in Acharavi, in Northern Corfu.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;In Thailand I learned that chicken meat is “gai” and pork is “moo”, noodles are “pad thai”. The rice is compulsory, steamed or fried. Sometime they add a clear soup, tasteless in my opinion, to be eaten with the rest of the food. Chicken meat and pork are served with rice or noodles, only the spices are different, to give a strong taste. A lot of fresh fruit drinks (because it is warm enough) and local beers, among which we preffered Chang.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The one-course lunch/dinner for 3 persons and non-alcholic drinks costed between 290-360 bht or&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;12.4$/9 euro&lt;/span&gt;. A tip of 10-20 bht was welcomed. About the street food I will tell you in another post.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sa nu va asteptati sa va vorbesc despre ciudatenii la capitolul mancare! In Chang Mai am luat micul dejun la pensiune, inclus in costul cazarii, pranzul pe unde ne-am nimerit la ora la care ni s-a facut foame (adica intre doua temple) si cina prima tot la restaurantul pensiunii si a doua, in apropierea pietei de noapte. N-am stat decat o zi si jumatate in Chang Mai asa ca nu am avut timp sa experimentam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Micul dejun, cel obisnuit, cu paine prajita, oua ochiuri, gem, suc, ceai/cafea si fructe. Primul pranz, imediat dupa ce am ajuns, l-am luat pe mica terasa a pensiunii si a fost si primul contact cu mancarea thailandeza (daca nu pun la socoteala cina dintr-un restaurant thailandez, luata la San Francisco, cu 16 ani in urma). Acum am invatat ca in thai, carnea de pui se numeste "gai" si cea de porc "mo", iar taiteii "pad thai". Am mai scris, mie mi se pare destul de asemanatoare mancarea thailandeza cu cea chinezeasca si nu ma refer la ce se mananca prin restaurantele specifice din Europa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pui cu usturoi si sos de chili (gai tod kratiem), pui cu taitei thai (pad thai gai), porc cu usturoi si chili (moo graprao) si pui cu vinete si busuioc dulce ( pad ma khua) au fost mancarurile servite acolo, insotite de o bere Chang. Orice fel de mancare are alaturi, obligatoriu, orezul fiert sau prajit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qMaKcWG-DMY/Txvaq_xoJSI/AAAAAAAAPJA/JV9OEg9mozA/s1600/DSCF0857.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="276" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qMaKcWG-DMY/Txvaq_xoJSI/AAAAAAAAPJA/JV9OEg9mozA/s320/DSCF0857.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;gai tod kratiem&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nXqJ9Erx7dQ/TxvawPbexOI/AAAAAAAAPJI/c3R0tA5CogA/s1600/DSCF1188.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nXqJ9Erx7dQ/TxvawPbexOI/AAAAAAAAPJI/c3R0tA5CogA/s320/DSCF1188.JPG" width="303" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;pad thai gai&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lRNp5a1yXBg/TxvazyvbRKI/AAAAAAAAPJQ/osaxLh--FFo/s1600/DSCF0859.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="234" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lRNp5a1yXBg/TxvazyvbRKI/AAAAAAAAPJQ/osaxLh--FFo/s320/DSCF0859.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;moo graprao&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7BgQ1fzO7TI/Txva2IR-80I/AAAAAAAAPJY/vD2k5TsS4wM/s1600/DSCF0858.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="310" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7BgQ1fzO7TI/Txva2IR-80I/AAAAAAAAPJY/vD2k5TsS4wM/s320/DSCF0858.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;pad ma khua&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yP6nEbxi0E8/Txva314XtnI/AAAAAAAAPJg/95GvbB2X1e0/s1600/DSCF0855.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yP6nEbxi0E8/Txva314XtnI/AAAAAAAAPJg/95GvbB2X1e0/s320/DSCF0855.JPG" width="271" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Momente placute am petrecut servind pranzul intr-o gradina plina de flori si pasarele, doar cu cativa clienti, in Orasul Vechi, in apropierea templului Wat Prasingh. Gradina mi-a amintit de o livada de lamai si leandri, la Acharavi, in nordul insulei Corfu, unde am pranzit acum cativa ani. Aceeasi atmosfera senina, plina de pace si incantare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carnea de pui este servita cam peste tot in aceleasi combinatii cu orez sau taitei, difera doar mirodeniile folosite, care o fac mai picanta sau nu. In acest loc ni s-a servit si cate un bol cu o supa clara, fara vreun gust special, care se mananca in acelasi timp cu restul mancarii. Sucurile de kiwi si mere ne-au racorit.

Era clar ca acolo, in jurul pietei, multe restaurante se acomodau gustului si interesului turistilor occidentali. Din nou pui, de data asta dulce-acrisor sau cu taitei si suc de rosii, insotite de fresh-uri de kiwi si ananas.

For example, I choosed Wat Ku Tao because of his unusual name, meaning The Watermelon Temple, which is considered to be unique in Thailand. I'm happy to say that we have been lucky again, being the only visitors there, presumably due to the existence of a temporary work site there.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The founder of the temple or the real moment of its building are not known. There is only a legend, saying that it was built on 1613, by the first Burmese ruler of Chiang Mai (1579-1607), the King Bayinnaunng, who enshrined there the ashes of his son, Prince Saravadee.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The temple grounds are full of trees, and among them you see the different structures of the temple. There are a lot of interesting Buddha’s images: meditating, sitting in “European style”, carrying the alms bowl, subduing Mara or meditating protected by Mucalinda, the King of Naga.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Even if the buildings were closed, we have been able to admire the wonderful adorned door and windows of the viharn, after we climbed a stair watched by Naga and Burmese style singhas.&amp;nbsp; At the base of the building, right in front of it, vivid colored bass-relieves reminded us of India, by colors and style.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The famous chedi had as a model the pagodas from the Yunnan Province in China, brought to Thailand by the traders. The five forms of watermelon or alms bowls, representing the five Buddhas, have niches facing the cardinal directions, where Buddha's images are housed. Colored porcelain flowers, in Chinese style, adorn the chedi.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cand ai la dispozitie peste 300 de temple sa alegi, motivele pentru care vrei sa vezi unul anume sunt, e multe ori, arbitrare. Am vrut sa vad acest templu mai ales datorita numelui sau care m-a intrigat si a &lt;i&gt;chedi&lt;/i&gt;-ului pentru care este faimos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nu se stie cine este fondatorul sau si nici data cand a fost construit. Exista doar o legenda, care il atribuie primului rege birmanez care a condus Chiang Mai intre 1579-1607, regele Bayinnaunng. Se spune ca el ar fi construit acest templu in 1613, pentru a pastra aici cenusa fiului sau, printul Saravadee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intrarea pe terenul templului este strajuita de perechea obisnuita de lei. Curtea este plina de arbori, dintre care “rasar” structurile care fac parte din templu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6AYuF8w7HCQ/Txf1SIKMqKI/AAAAAAAAPCo/wmNenG3QZKw/s1600/DSCF1991.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6AYuF8w7HCQ/Txf1SIKMqKI/AAAAAAAAPCo/wmNenG3QZKw/s320/DSCF1991.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sS5UlonJqGA/Txf1UReDVjI/AAAAAAAAPCw/tjG-mIi38h0/s1600/DSCF2012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sS5UlonJqGA/Txf1UReDVjI/AAAAAAAAPCw/tjG-mIi38h0/s320/DSCF2012.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W3qvxLRRozs/Txf1aP46e5I/AAAAAAAAPDA/ciBryK8guVE/s1600/DSCF2016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W3qvxLRRozs/Txf1aP46e5I/AAAAAAAAPDA/ciBryK8guVE/s320/DSCF2016.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U0WfTZDfq48/Txf1dCz65MI/AAAAAAAAPDI/DI4bVy1Mjso/s1600/DSCF2026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U0WfTZDfq48/Txf1dCz65MI/AAAAAAAAPDI/DI4bVy1Mjso/s320/DSCF2026.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I8Mnfi3nYeA/Txf1e-iV-PI/AAAAAAAAPDQ/h8onPBns7hQ/s1600/DSCF1995.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I8Mnfi3nYeA/Txf1e-iV-PI/AAAAAAAAPDQ/h8onPBns7hQ/s320/DSCF1995.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-X_F5k2zLvzg/Txf1hyvf_8I/AAAAAAAAPDY/ynMFw3DS3dk/s1600/DSCF2110.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-X_F5k2zLvzg/Txf1hyvf_8I/AAAAAAAAPDY/ynMFw3DS3dk/s320/DSCF2110.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n3bCcuLvPHk/TxgX4K5OkGI/AAAAAAAAPII/vsTYVZ7KZSs/s1600/DSCF2095.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n3bCcuLvPHk/TxgX4K5OkGI/AAAAAAAAPII/vsTYVZ7KZSs/s320/DSCF2095.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pOIGHe0stt4/TxgYHQx1BII/AAAAAAAAPIQ/vdBbTloh3Vc/s1600/DSCF2106.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pOIGHe0stt4/TxgYHQx1BII/AAAAAAAAPIQ/vdBbTloh3Vc/s320/DSCF2106.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Wat Ku Tao se afla in nordul orasului, mai departe de alte obiective. In plus, era un santier acolo si &lt;i&gt;viharnul&lt;/i&gt; era inchis. Calugarii novici isi vedeau de treburi, umbland prin curte sau facand baie dupa un paravan, de unde se auzeau rasete si strigate.

Wat Chedi Luang / Traveller in Thailand  9. Wat Chedi Luang</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Wat Chedi Luang was the last temple we have visited last day. We arrived there at that particular moment when the sun was down but still not dark. The viharn, a golden structure on tall columns, having inside wonderful Buddha's images, showed us immediately why this temple is a "must see' in Chiang Mai. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Right at the entrance, Pra Buddha Atharos is standing with the palm high, oriented to you. It is said that two villages, on the bank of a river, were full of Buddha's relatives. One year they started to quarrel over the lack of water. To avoid bloodshed, Buddha asked them: "what is more precious to you: water or relatives"?. Thus, this representation symbolizes peace on world.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Wat Chedi Luang or The Temple of the Big Stupa was erected between 1391-1411, during the reign of the 8th ruler og Mengrai dynasty. Then, it was the biggest temple in the Lan Na Kingdom. The stupa was 90 m tall but after an earthquake (1545) the stupa was sectioned at 60 m. It was here that the Emerald Buddha (which can be seen now at the temple in the Grand Palace, in Bangkok) was hold. They put instead a black jade Buddha.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The giant nagas and the elephants around the stupa are impressive, and so are the Buddha's images. A tall Dipterocarpus (tropical evergreen - there are 3 such trees, considered protectors of the town) and other structures complete the complex here.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;It was dark and in the yard could be seen only the moving orange robes of the monks. There were a lot of dogs (not at all aggressive), and the monks passing by spoke with them. A donation is asked for the food they give to the dogs. A concept of their religion says that every being on Earth is precious to Buddha, not only people. It many temples (and here) there are organised "monk chats". They tell you about their religion and life in the temple, meantime exercising their English. I am sorry that time did not permit me to meet them because that would have been an interesting experience.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;A beautiful reclined Buddha and an image of him conquering evils are also worth to be seen.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wat Chedi Luang a fost ultimul templu vizitat in ziua aceea. Ajunsesem la acel moment in care lumina blanda, estompata a apusului incepe sa se ingane cu intunericul. Cand am patruns pe poarta &lt;i&gt;watului&lt;/i&gt; era inca lumina. &lt;i&gt;Viharnul&lt;/i&gt;, o structura mult mai noua decat &lt;i&gt;chedi&lt;/i&gt;, se infatisa stralucind in fata ochilor nostri coplesiti de atata grandoare. Aurit, sprijinindu-se pe niste coloane inalte si adapostind cateva imagini frumoase ale lui Buddha, Wat Chedi Luang ne demonstreaza imediat de ce intra in categoria templelor care trebuie vizitate cand esti in Chiang Mai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8YJB0awVQ0E/TxSsK1qAP0I/AAAAAAAAO-Q/F4JEE7AWJC8/s1600/DSCF1034.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8YJB0awVQ0E/TxSsK1qAP0I/AAAAAAAAO-Q/F4JEE7AWJC8/s320/DSCF1034.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;viharn&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pRUkUzWyNa0/TxSsMY5T_nI/AAAAAAAAO-Y/-GCw56tYKI8/s1600/DSCF1036.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pRUkUzWyNa0/TxSsMY5T_nI/AAAAAAAAO-Y/-GCw56tYKI8/s320/DSCF1036.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oBfbAnKW8g8/TxSsQisjJMI/AAAAAAAAO-g/2Kyplxgq-WI/s1600/DSCF1064.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oBfbAnKW8g8/TxSsQisjJMI/AAAAAAAAO-g/2Kyplxgq-WI/s320/DSCF1064.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-StaenwFd9DI/TxSsTFf79CI/AAAAAAAAO-o/pJiW-Ey5yuI/s1600/DSCF1041.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-StaenwFd9DI/TxSsTFf79CI/AAAAAAAAO-o/pJiW-Ey5yuI/s320/DSCF1041.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-prwh7S5rDNo/TxSsWHXhKHI/AAAAAAAAO-w/YYOGUg_330s/s1600/DSCF1045.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-prwh7S5rDNo/TxSsWHXhKHI/AAAAAAAAO-w/YYOGUg_330s/s320/DSCF1045.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3a-brU99ZKU/TxSsYf4spnI/AAAAAAAAO-4/EXJFZr0Ej2M/s1600/DSCF1052.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3a-brU99ZKU/TxSsYf4spnI/AAAAAAAAO-4/EXJFZr0Ej2M/s320/DSCF1052.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9Asm9ne35XM/TxSscQNiKNI/AAAAAAAAO_A/aqePzjn-ECs/s1600/DSCF1057.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9Asm9ne35XM/TxSscQNiKNI/AAAAAAAAO_A/aqePzjn-ECs/s320/DSCF1057.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Pra Buddha Atharos&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Acest Buddha, cu palma ridicata si intoarsa spre tine, te intampina chiar la intrarea in &lt;i&gt;viharn&lt;/i&gt;. E plin de foite aurite pe care credinciosii le lipesc pe el, ca ofranda. El este Buddha care opreste lupta, cearta. Conform explicatiei oferite alaturi, se spune ca doua mici regate erau despartite intre ele de un rau. Oamenii care traiau de o parte si de alta a sa, erau rudele lui Buddha. Intr-un an secetos ei au inceput sa se certe pentru apa. Buddha stia ca daca nu-i opreste, va fi varsare de sange. De aceea a venit in fata lor si i-a intrebat: "ce este mai important pentru voi: apa sau rudele?" Oamenii s-au gandit si si-au dat seama ca nu are rost sa se certe. Aceasta postura a lui Buddha nu este menita doar sa isi linisteasca rudele, ci ea semnifica si pacea pe pamant.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wat Chedi/Jedi Luang sau Templul Stupei Mari a inceput sa fie construit in 1391, in timpul domniei celui de-al 8–lea conducator din dinastia Mengrai, care dorea sa pastreze aici cenusa tatalui sau. El a fost terminat in 1411. Pe vremea aceea era cel mai mare templu din Regatul Lan Na. Stupa avea 90 metri inaltime dar a scazut la 60 m dupa ce a fost sectionata in urma unui puternic cutremur, produs in 1545. Aici a fost pastrat Buddha de Samarald, care acum se poate vedea la Marele Palat din Bangkok. In locul sau a fost pus un Buddha din jad negru. Stupa a fost partial restaurata abia la inceputul anilor 1990.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cand am dat cu ochii de stupa, soarele apusese si se mai pastra doar lumina aceea discreta de la orizont. &lt;i&gt;Chedi&lt;/i&gt; are multe elemente care impresioneaza inca. Inconjurat de un sant adanc, scarile care duc la nisele care adapostesc figura lui Buddha au obisnuitele balustrade in forma de naga dar terminatiile lor sunt uriase. La baza sa, un brau alcatuit din elefanti, in stare diferita de conservare, adauga la grandoarea monumentului. Cel aflat in dreapta scarii, in prima fotografie care infatiseaza elefantii, este singurul original, ceilalti sunt reconstruiti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uNM8xZJcIng/TxSyFN8bj1I/AAAAAAAAO_I/RcQrdYhnh5M/s1600/DSCF1090.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uNM8xZJcIng/TxSyFN8bj1I/AAAAAAAAO_I/RcQrdYhnh5M/s320/DSCF1090.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Marea Stupa&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xeVA-PZYjw8/TxSyHCmOYfI/AAAAAAAAO_Q/zE5SYFBwwtA/s1600/DSCF1078.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="318" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xeVA-PZYjw8/TxSyHCmOYfI/AAAAAAAAO_Q/zE5SYFBwwtA/s320/DSCF1078.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Buddha din jad negru&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RN9Dy4npOsk/TxSzSG-dpLI/AAAAAAAAO_Y/wWu24CIPHaY/s1600/DSCF1087.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RN9Dy4npOsk/TxSzSG-dpLI/AAAAAAAAO_Y/wWu24CIPHaY/s320/DSCF1087.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0vweQt2Zbu4/TxSzUXbYQJI/AAAAAAAAO_g/NESSujIgPyE/s1600/DSCF1093.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0vweQt2Zbu4/TxSzUXbYQJI/AAAAAAAAO_g/NESSujIgPyE/s320/DSCF1093.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ONnkSzImRMg/TxSzZfjEuII/AAAAAAAAO_w/ioQUkCLFk78/s1600/DSCF1095.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ONnkSzImRMg/TxSzZfjEuII/AAAAAAAAO_w/ioQUkCLFk78/s320/DSCF1095.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TbKJaQ8gmKU/TxSzcEUx9pI/AAAAAAAAO_4/wgdtN-F-39w/s1600/DSCF1086.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TbKJaQ8gmKU/TxSzcEUx9pI/AAAAAAAAO_4/wgdtN-F-39w/s320/DSCF1086.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hJXL_YU92hg/TxSzfNfKtGI/AAAAAAAAPAA/acmxmsrY_Hc/s1600/DSCF1103.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hJXL_YU92hg/TxSzfNfKtGI/AAAAAAAAPAA/acmxmsrY_Hc/s320/DSCF1103.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iA2kVAzirbs/TxSznk-_88I/AAAAAAAAPAQ/_NVLu1KOr_Y/s1600/DSCF1113.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iA2kVAzirbs/TxSznk-_88I/AAAAAAAAPAQ/_NVLu1KOr_Y/s320/DSCF1113.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DO_MCPJG_F0/TxSzsidb1lI/AAAAAAAAPAY/GbsYXLmisg0/s1600/DSCF1163.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DO_MCPJG_F0/TxSzsidb1lI/AAAAAAAAPAY/GbsYXLmisg0/s320/DSCF1163.JPG" width="264" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Intr-un colt al curtii se ridica un Dipterocarp inalt (arbore tropical vesnic verde).

Aici, ca si in alte temple, exista un loc unde poti sta de vorba cu ei, dupa un anumit program. Ei iti ofera explicatii despre religia si viata lor la templu si, in acelasi timp, isi exerseaza cunostintele de engleza. Imi pare rau ca timpul nu mi-a permis un asemenea ragaz, fiindca ar fi fost cu siguranta interesant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3pPlol0QhfM/TxTCXsFfvDI/AAAAAAAAPCQ/vLqWiXCaxPY/s1600/DSCF1101.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3pPlol0QhfM/TxTCXsFfvDI/AAAAAAAAPCQ/vLqWiXCaxPY/s320/DSCF1101.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YAcLJDw9K3M/TxS8OjbDNsI/AAAAAAAAPBo/xXdOtft1n4E/s1600/DSCF1172.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YAcLJDw9K3M/TxS8OjbDNsI/AAAAAAAAPBo/xXdOtft1n4E/s320/DSCF1172.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Sa nu faci rau, sa urmaresti binele si sa-ti purifici mintea, sunt percepte buddhiste care ne arata ca toate religiile se intemeiaza pe aceleasi idei generoase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In curte se fugareau in joaca sau dormeau mai multi caini. Nu erau deloc agresivi. Calugarii treceau pe langa ei, le vorbeau sau ii mangaiau. E un lucru obisnuit sa vezi ca se cer donatii pentru hrana cainilor gazduiti in templu. N-am vazut asa ceva la nici o biserica de pe la noi...Orice fiinta vie are dreptul la viata si trebuie ocrotita, e un alt percept buddhist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intr-un pavilion se afla o frumoasa statuie a lui Buddha dormind, iar alaturi este reprezentat in postura in care invinge raul. Inainte de a atinge iluminarea, mai multe rele au vrut sa-l ucida. Atunci a venit la el Zeita Pamant care si-a stors parul plin de apa, pentru a inneca spiritele rele. Acestea au fugit. In aceasta postura, Buddha asezat atinge cu mana dreapta pamantul, iar stanga o tine in poala, cu palma indreptata in sus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Xy2aoTyh0Y4/TxS-a9V5VSI/AAAAAAAAPBw/EfG-ujct4-w/s1600/DSCF1138.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Xy2aoTyh0Y4/TxS-a9V5VSI/AAAAAAAAPBw/EfG-ujct4-w/s320/DSCF1138.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wTdVMUXbmtQ/TxS-dvnidbI/AAAAAAAAPB4/r4YOq60gIkI/s1600/DSCF1140.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wTdVMUXbmtQ/TxS-dvnidbI/AAAAAAAAPB4/r4YOq60gIkI/s320/DSCF1140.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SluysRc2Zuw/TxS_gFPFGRI/AAAAAAAAPCA/AY8tOsCIrqA/s1600/DSCF1146.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="223" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SluysRc2Zuw/TxS_gFPFGRI/AAAAAAAAPCA/AY8tOsCIrqA/s320/DSCF1146.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;O alta poveste frumoasa ne ofera figura din pavilionul alaturat. Ea il infatiseaza pe calugarul iluminat Tan Pra Maha Kajjana. Se spune ca era atat de frumos incat era deseori confundat cu Buddha. Un barbat l-a vazut o data si, confundandu-l cu o femeie, si l-a dorit ca sotie. Cand a aflat adevarul a fugit din sat, rusinat. Pentru ca niciodata sa nu se mai intample asa ceva, Tan Pra Maha Kajjana s-a transformat intr-un calugar gras si urat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l2-CUZW-NOA/TxTBVVWJ_oI/AAAAAAAAPCI/aoTqd8yVqRM/s1600/DSCF1152.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l2-CUZW-NOA/TxTBVVWJ_oI/AAAAAAAAPCI/aoTqd8yVqRM/s320/DSCF1152.JPG" width="298" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Tan Pra Maha Kajjana &lt;/div&gt;Am ramas singuri in complexul de la Wat Chedi Luan si ne despartim cu greu de el dar s-a inserat de-a binelea si trebuie sa plecam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AWXyLLdwiJE/TxU_X3goICI/AAAAAAAAPCY/dL85HvdF3cE/s1600/DSCF1075.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AWXyLLdwiJE/TxU_X3goICI/AAAAAAAAPCY/dL85HvdF3cE/s320/DSCF1075.JPG" width="304" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5387434597358464040-4364488489109875969?l=travelinghawk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://travelinghawk.blogspot.com/feeds/4364488489109875969/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5387434597358464040&amp;postID=4364488489109875969&amp;isPopup=true' title='30 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5387434597358464040/posts/default/4364488489109875969'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5387434597358464040/posts/default/4364488489109875969'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://travelinghawk.blogspot.com/2012/01/calator-in-thailanda-9-wat-chedi-luang.html' title='Calator in Thailanda  9.

It was a triple room, with TV, AC, safety box, and minibar at a price of 1250 bht/night, aprox. 31 euros, breakfast included.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mandala House is a guest house, with a little own restaurant, situated very convenient between the Old Town and the Night Bazaar. The staff is nice and helpful.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;You may see their site here:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.mandalachiangmai.com/home.html"&gt;http://www.mandalachiangmai.com/home.html&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cazarea la Chiang Mai am ales-o de pe booking.com special intre&amp;nbsp; Orasul Vechi si Bazarul de Noapte, pentru a fi aproape de toate obiectivele. Mandala House este un fel de pensiune, cu un mic restaurant, aflata pe un soi (straduta laterala) linistit, cu aspect rural aproape. Mandala House se afla pe "lane" sau "soi" 3 dar nu am o imagine cu indicatorul respectiv. Adresa corecta este deci Thapae Rd., soi 3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VncTFrysL-I/TxAMQPEUkMI/AAAAAAAAO84/CSWehdb2-1g/s1600/DSCF0870.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VncTFrysL-I/TxAMQPEUkMI/AAAAAAAAO84/CSWehdb2-1g/s320/DSCF0870.JPG" width="241" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;langa Mandala House&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NYHI0Nfjif0/TxAJ7lxBuKI/AAAAAAAAO8w/nVflLni0Oso/s1600/DSCF0871.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="231" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NYHI0Nfjif0/TxAJ7lxBuKI/AAAAAAAAO8w/nVflLni0Oso/s320/DSCF0871.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;In apropierea sa sunt multe locuri in care poti manca. Micul dejun a fost inclus in costul cazarii. Personalul este amabil, oferind informatii si aranjand, la cerere, transport in diverse locuri. De exemplu, noi am ajuns in localitate pe la amiaza si, pentru a nu ne plimba cu bagajul dupa noi, bajbaind sa gasim adresa (pana nu ne puteam inca orienta in oras), le-am solicitat un taxi xre sa ne ia de la aeroport.

Langa ea este si terasa restaurantului propriu. Camera noastra tocmai se eliberase cand am ajuns, asa ca a trebuit sa asteptam jumatate de ora pana s-a facut curatenie. Ne-am petrecut acest timp pranzind pe terasa, bucurandu-ne de temperatura placuta, care nici nu ne facea sa ne gandim ca acusi e Craciunul!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-haYz2twi7wg/TxAMcw2pgcI/AAAAAAAAO9A/8afIb1jBOwg/s1600/DSCF0850.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-haYz2twi7wg/TxAMcw2pgcI/AAAAAAAAO9A/8afIb1jBOwg/s320/DSCF0850.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;intrarea&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k66goxj4-yo/TxAMgEWtrkI/AAAAAAAAO9I/Qvpqwt0VHkY/s1600/DSCF0860.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="253" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k66goxj4-yo/TxAMgEWtrkI/AAAAAAAAO9I/Qvpqwt0VHkY/s320/DSCF0860.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;aceasta mica sculptura dateaza din 1947&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cXMSaSjEwo4/TxAMhyyAOXI/AAAAAAAAO9Q/mdt8IbCsJCU/s1600/DSCF0849.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cXMSaSjEwo4/TxAMhyyAOXI/AAAAAAAAO9Q/mdt8IbCsJCU/s320/DSCF0849.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;mica terasa a restaurantului&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ersgNXay_vs/TxAMkvj0ODI/AAAAAAAAO9Y/vu-1jtx0k2E/s1600/DSCF0846.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ersgNXay_vs/TxAMkvj0ODI/AAAAAAAAO9Y/vu-1jtx0k2E/s320/DSCF0846.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Dupa cum aveam sa observ ulterior peste tot in Thailanda, oamenii sunt atenti la detalii, avand un simt al frumosului deosebit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IjJLoLxzHc0/TxANfz33A7I/AAAAAAAAO9g/o5SEXWi-nBg/s1600/DSCF0848.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IjJLoLxzHc0/TxANfz33A7I/AAAAAAAAO9g/o5SEXWi-nBg/s320/DSCF0848.JPG" width="213" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cig3fNDea5I/TxANhrJoIzI/AAAAAAAAO9o/sK-F035nXa4/s1600/DSCF0844.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cig3fNDea5I/TxANhrJoIzI/AAAAAAAAO9o/sK-F035nXa4/s320/DSCF0844.JPG" width="249" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Nu lipsea dintr-un colt nici micul altar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eisJ6D_5JWU/TxANvpbZrdI/AAAAAAAAO9w/DunTIMoTtt0/s1600/DSCF0847.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eisJ6D_5JWU/TxANvpbZrdI/AAAAAAAAO9w/DunTIMoTtt0/s320/DSCF0847.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Curand am putut intra in camera curata si primitoare. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hDbdFZDQbDM/TxAOT2em_9I/AAAAAAAAO94/zm5tmKORf50/s1600/DSCF0866.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="207" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hDbdFZDQbDM/TxAOT2em_9I/AAAAAAAAO94/zm5tmKORf50/s320/DSCF0866.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B_ZeuBKVhdc/TxAOVeStT2I/AAAAAAAAO-A/C92cfFHICPc/s1600/DSCF0867.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B_ZeuBKVhdc/TxAOVeStT2I/AAAAAAAAO-A/C92cfFHICPc/s320/DSCF0867.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Culoarele pensiunii adaposteau mobilier thailandez traditional si mici sculpturi.

Wat Phantao, templu Lanna / Traveller in Thailand  7. Lanna Wat Phantao</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Wat Phantao is different in comparison with other temples in Chiang Mai because it is built from taek wood. It is one of the few in good condition and even if it is not an old one (1846), it is a good example of Lanna architecture. The name means "the monastery of 1000 kilns" because they were casting here Buddha figures for other temples too. The entrance is guarded by a pair of singha.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The roof is finished in barge motiffs of naga, three headed nagas. The viharn was the ho kham (throne hall) of the palace of King Chao Mahawong. Initially the building was a palace which was transformed in monastery afterwards. Above the entrance door of the viharn it can be seen a wonderful peacock above a coiled dog. The dog was the zodiacal animal of the king Mahawong.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Beautiful Lanna style sculptures can be seen in the wall which encircles the temple. A beautiful whitewashed chedi with golden peaks completes the temple structure. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wat Phantao se deosebeste de celelalte temple vizitate prin faptul ca este construit in intregime din lemn de tek. De fapt, este unul dintre putinele temple din lemn, pastrate. Templul nu este prea vechi (1846) dar este un bun exemplu de arhitectura Lanna. Numele sau inseamna "manastirea celor 1000 de cuptoare", indicand ca aici se turnau statui ale lui Buddha si pentru celelate temple din zona. Intrarea in templu este pazita de &lt;i&gt;singha&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t11r-Y8Zjb4/TwrUQB4PDQI/AAAAAAAAO7I/4hOac5dq8XI/s1600/DSCF0987.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t11r-Y8Zjb4/TwrUQB4PDQI/AAAAAAAAO7I/4hOac5dq8XI/s320/DSCF0987.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;intrarea in curtea templului&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--r6GzxuoBDM/TwrVeoswbsI/AAAAAAAAO7o/mTu07p-POhg/s1600/DSCF0989.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--r6GzxuoBDM/TwrVeoswbsI/AAAAAAAAO7o/mTu07p-POhg/s320/DSCF0989.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spre deosebire de alte temple Lanna, unde acoperisul ajunge aproape pana  jos, acesta este mult mai inalt. Terminatiile in forma de &lt;i&gt;naga&lt;/i&gt; de pe  acoperis se termina cu &lt;i&gt;naga&lt;/i&gt; cu trei capete, iar pe coama acoperisului se  vad innotand niste rate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jZCFzoUHI1I/TwrPLjO7R3I/AAAAAAAAO5w/FhiGNxOTMbI/s1600/DSCF0988.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jZCFzoUHI1I/TwrPLjO7R3I/AAAAAAAAO5w/FhiGNxOTMbI/s320/DSCF0988.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Wat Phantao&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ta2qxGGNGK0/TwrPODlKFbI/AAAAAAAAO54/jwvnrNKe798/s1600/DSCF1010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ta2qxGGNGK0/TwrPODlKFbI/AAAAAAAAO54/jwvnrNKe798/s320/DSCF1010.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Inainte de a deveni manastire, templul a fost curte regala, &lt;i&gt;viharnul&lt;/i&gt; fiind chiar &lt;i&gt;ho kham&lt;/i&gt; din palatul regelui, adica sala tronului.&amp;nbsp; Deasupra intrarii in viharn un paun splendid mestesugit sta deasupra unui caine incovrigat. Cainele era animalul zodiacal al regelui Chao Mahawong, pentru care s-a construit palatul devenit templu. El se regaseste si in filigranul de deasupra geamurilor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4Aim_yzUxeo/TwrRP_vl_kI/AAAAAAAAO6A/2Zm3pBmBp38/s1600/DSCF1009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4Aim_yzUxeo/TwrRP_vl_kI/AAAAAAAAO6A/2Zm3pBmBp38/s320/DSCF1009.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;intrarea in viharn&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Yn-3cdwDYr8/TwrRSX5uG9I/AAAAAAAAO6I/dpiCvzsWNTY/s1600/DSCF0985.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Yn-3cdwDYr8/TwrRSX5uG9I/AAAAAAAAO6I/dpiCvzsWNTY/s320/DSCF0985.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IvhwM2ySGiE/TwrRUkgCgYI/AAAAAAAAO6Q/hL4DZnqr9z4/s1600/DSCF1008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IvhwM2ySGiE/TwrRUkgCgYI/AAAAAAAAO6Q/hL4DZnqr9z4/s320/DSCF1008.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;In interiorul templului, o statuie aurita a lui Budha, in fata caruia se depun ofrande.

Wat Phan On</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Not far from Wat Muen Lan it is another small temple called Wat Phan On. It was built in 1501, during the reign of King Phra Muang Kaeo. The main entrance to the viharn is guarded by a pair of singha. The gate and the windows are beautifully adorned.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Two students approached me explaining they have as task to exercise their English and learn about foreign countries. I answered to their questions and then we took a photo together.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The most interesting element here is the golden, big chedi. There are chads (filigraned umbrellas) to the four corners. In front of the chedi more bells offer you wellness and happiness if you touch them all. The sound may be combined with that of the gong.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nu trebuie sa mergi prea mult de la Wat Muen Lan ca sa ajungi la alt wat mic, cu un frumos chedi aurit, Wat Phan On. Templul a fost construit in 1501, in timpul domniei regelui Phra Muang Kaeo. &lt;br /&gt;Aici, intrarea in &lt;i&gt;viharn&lt;/i&gt; este pazita de o pereche de &lt;i&gt;singha&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bHwPKVSfOm0/Twlwyx-sylI/AAAAAAAAO3w/a1F_b-QLznE/s1600/DSCF0961.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bHwPKVSfOm0/Twlwyx-sylI/AAAAAAAAO3w/a1F_b-QLznE/s320/DSCF0961.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;viharn&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3P6wwa2FMS4/Twlw1alsraI/AAAAAAAAO34/H7wEvXj6_3c/s1600/DSCF0964.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3P6wwa2FMS4/Twlw1alsraI/AAAAAAAAO34/H7wEvXj6_3c/s320/DSCF0964.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;intrarea principala in viharn&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CWgDGWXwwaA/Twlw2_4Wm9I/AAAAAAAAO4A/gNiAsUE-Omc/s1600/DSCF0939.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CWgDGWXwwaA/Twlw2_4Wm9I/AAAAAAAAO4A/gNiAsUE-Omc/s320/DSCF0939.JPG" width="261" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wmRyncGOOPo/Twlw4emdGnI/AAAAAAAAO4I/vJl2bb-zA74/s1600/DSCF0965.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="276" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wmRyncGOOPo/Twlw4emdGnI/AAAAAAAAO4I/vJl2bb-zA74/s320/DSCF0965.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IPxm4Ezqs-U/Twlw6Ske09I/AAAAAAAAO4Q/uQdMLzf8uN0/s1600/DSCF0947.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IPxm4Ezqs-U/Twlw6Ske09I/AAAAAAAAO4Q/uQdMLzf8uN0/s320/DSCF0947.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Yh6kkMAzKaE/Twlw8sruAjI/AAAAAAAAO4Y/eu8VVJsFSNA/s1600/DSCF0948.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Yh6kkMAzKaE/Twlw8sruAjI/AAAAAAAAO4Y/eu8VVJsFSNA/s320/DSCF0948.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In interior, mai multi calugari faceau curatenie, asa ca am admirat statuia lui Buddha doar de la intrare, fara a o fotografia. Tot acolo, la loc de cinste,&amp;nbsp; exista si chipul unui calugar care a jucat un rol important in viata templului&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-24XBIkinpAc/TwlwuOA6cbI/AAAAAAAAO3o/9gj2kB0-yZ4/s1600/DSCF0943.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-24XBIkinpAc/TwlwuOA6cbI/AAAAAAAAO3o/9gj2kB0-yZ4/s320/DSCF0943.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Doua studente m-au abordat, cu mare timiditate, intrebandu-ma daca vreau sa le raspund la niste intrebari. Un mod placut de a-si exersa cunostintele de limba engleza si de a afla lucruri noi despre alte tari. Mai intai, m-au rugat sa le spun cate ceva despre tara mea, apoi au urmat cateva intrebari uzuale despre vizita mea in Chiang Mai (a cata vizita este, daca imi place si ce am vazut pana acum, daca am incercat mancarea traditionala, etc.). La finalul discutiei, ne-am fotografiat impreuna. Atunci le-am spus ca ma bucur sa ma aflu intre studenti si in vacanta...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Langa &lt;i&gt;chedi &lt;/i&gt;se afla mese si banci unde poti sta de vorba cu calugarii sau unde oamenii sed cand sunt sarbatori in temple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1_MyhtiHgiM/TwlyvAjne2I/AAAAAAAAO4g/r-ryTr5qdAE/s1600/DSCF0957.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="163" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1_MyhtiHgiM/TwlyvAjne2I/AAAAAAAAO4g/r-ryTr5qdAE/s320/DSCF0957.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6Iupanp7HOE/Twl5TJzas0I/AAAAAAAAO5Y/xAzEattRqYE/s1600/DSCF0960.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6Iupanp7HOE/Twl5TJzas0I/AAAAAAAAO5Y/xAzEattRqYE/s320/DSCF0960.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IahFyD9i1ZA/Twl5XGDM34I/AAAAAAAAO5g/qxtM_EiI-0s/s1600/DSCF0944.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="270" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IahFyD9i1ZA/Twl5XGDM34I/AAAAAAAAO5g/qxtM_EiI-0s/s320/DSCF0944.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Elementul care atrage atentia in acest &lt;i&gt;wat&lt;/i&gt; este &lt;i&gt;chedi&lt;/i&gt;-ul mare si aurit. In nisele sale sunt statui ale lui Buddha. Intalnim aici, la cele patru colturi umbrela filigranata &lt;i&gt;chad&lt;/i&gt;. Langa chedi, un sir de clopote iti ofera bunastare, fericire si te apara de rele, daca le tragi pe toate, pe rand.

Wat Muen Lan / Traveller in Thailand  5. Wat Muen Lan</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;i&gt;As I stated in my previous post, there are over 300 Buddhist temples in Chiang Mai, of which we saw...10! A good reason to return one day, isn't it? Before I start writing about them, there are necessary some explanations about the Northern Thailand temples and the Lan Na style. &lt;/i&gt;For more details, see here: &lt;a href="http://www.asiaexplorers.com/thailand/northern-thai-temple-architecture.htm"&gt;http://www.asiaexplorers.com/thailand/northern-thai-temple-architecture.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;In Thailand, the temples are called "wat" which also means "monastery". They are always walled, and the main entrance looks (usually) to the East. In Northern Thailand, the temple architecture is influenced by Laos and Myanmar (Burma) but also by Sri Lanka and China. A complex has many structures, with different names and functions:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;viharn - used by the public (devotees and visitors) and monks;&amp;nbsp; you have to take your shoes off when you enter;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;chedi/stupa - deposit of relics; if they belong to Buddha himself, the chedi is called phra that and is fenced;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;ubosot/bot - used only by the monks; it's on the left and a little behind the viharn;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;ho trai - a kind of library, where Buddhist manuscripts are kept; usualy built on a higher platform to protect it against damp and termites; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;ho rakhang - a bell tower; the bell marks the moments of different monks' activities; sometime it is associated with a gong;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;mondop - open-sided square pavilion&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lan Na Kingdom ("Land of a million rice fields") lasted for 5 centuries (13th-18th) and all the constructions from that period are considered of Lanna style, especially temples but also old houses made of tek wood. At Lanna temples, the walls are low, with eaves closer to the ground. Chedis are square and large and sit on a platform. We may read more on internet, I do not want to prolonged unnecessary this post.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Wat  Muen Lan was the first wat which we visited. It is near the Tha Phae  Gate. Small, no visitors in that moment. Entrance is free, and so is  taking photographs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The most interesting thing here is the doorway in the form of coiled naga and the sum over the windows at the ho tray, "the library". ‘Sum’ is a guilded element which represents Buddha’s eyebrows. On the roofs are also decorative elements nike nagas and garudas. Do you remember Garuda, the God half man, half bird from my posts about India?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;There is also on the grounds of the complex the little shrine for the house spirits and, in a corner, some little stupas where the monks are “buried”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dupa cum spuneam in postarea anterioara, in Chiang Mai se afla peste 300 de temple buddhiste. Noi am vazut 10 dintre ele, alese dupa anumite criterii. Dar inainte de a va povesti despre ele sunt necesare cateva explicatii despre templele thailandeze din nord si despre stilul Lan Na. Pentru detalii, puteti citi aici: &lt;a href="http://www.asiaexplorers.com/thailand/northern-thai-temple-architecture.htm"&gt;http://www.asiaexplorers.com/thailand/northern-thai-temple-architecture.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Templele din Thailanda se numesc &lt;i&gt;wat&lt;/i&gt; (care inseamna si "manastire") si sunt inconjurate intotdeauna de ziduri, iar intrarea principala este orientata mai ales spre est. Arhitectura templelor din nord este influentata mai ales&amp;nbsp; de Laos si Myanmar (Burma/Birmania), dar nu lipsesc nici influentele din Sri Lanka sau China. Complexul cuprinde mai multe structuri, cu nume si functii diferite:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;viharn&lt;/i&gt; - cladirea principala, utilizata de public (credinciosi sau simpli vizitatori) si de calugari; inainte de a intra, trebuie sa te descalti;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;chedi&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;(stupa)&lt;/i&gt; - constructia care adaposteste relicve; daca ele apartin chiar lui Buddha, &lt;i&gt;chedi&lt;/i&gt; se mumeste &lt;i&gt;phra that&lt;/i&gt; si este inconjurat de un gard; credinciosii se roaga, inconjurand &lt;i&gt;chedi&lt;/i&gt;;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;ubosot (bot)&lt;/i&gt; - folosit exclusiv de catre calugari; este plasat la stanga si mai in spate fata de &lt;i&gt;viharn&lt;/i&gt; si este de marime mai mica;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;ho trai&lt;/i&gt; - este un fel de biblioteca, unde s epastreaza manuscrisele budhiste; se construieste la inaltime, pe platforme, pentru a fi ferit de umezeala si de termite;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;ho rakhang&lt;/i&gt; - clopotnita pastreaza clopotul care anunta timpul pentru diverse activitati ale calugarilor; poate fi combinat cu un gong;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;mondop&lt;/i&gt; - un pavilion patrat, deschis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Regatul Lan Na ("tara celor 1 milion de campuri de orez") a dainuit  vreme de 5 secole (sec. 13-18) si constructiile ridicate in acea vreme  sunt atribuite stilului Lanna, in special templele dar si casele  construite, de cele mai multe ori din lemn scump de tek. In Chiang Mai  mai multe hoteluri sunt in acest stil. Pe masura ce voi prezenta  templele vizitate, voi sublinia elementele specifice. Ca regula  generala, templele din nord au peretii viharn-ului mai scunzi, spre  deosebire de Thailanda Centrala, unde ei se sprijina pe coloane inalte.  Acoperisul coboara mai jos, spre pamant. Chedi este mare, de forma  patrata si este asezat pe o platforma. Unele elemente decorative sunt,  de asemenea, specifice. Nu vreau sa aglomerez postarea mai mult decat este necesar, gasiti informatii suficiente pe internet daca sunteti interesati.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wat Muen Lan a fost primul templu thailandez pe care l-am vizitat, fiind situat in apropierea Portii Tha Phae, la intrarea in Orasul Vechi. Templul este unul mic, nu prea vizitat. Ca la majoritatea templelor thailandeze, intrarea este libera, la fel si fotografiatul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intrarea in &lt;i&gt;viharn &lt;/i&gt;este marcata de o balustrada ondulata , in forma de sarpe, numit &lt;i&gt;naga&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;Naga&lt;/i&gt; iese din gura altui animal mistic, cu trasaturi de crocodil, peste sau elefant. Acoperisurile suprapuse sunt bogat ornamentate cu &lt;i&gt;pan lom&lt;/i&gt;, elementul care impiedica caderea tiglelor. Acesta poate avea si forma de &lt;i&gt;naga&lt;/i&gt;. Terminatia coamei acoperisului, &lt;i&gt;cho fa&lt;/i&gt;, are forma unei garuda stilizate (va amintiti din postarile despre India de Garuda, zeul jumatate om, jumatate pasare?), care "aduna" cozile de naga.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tlymc6oJHUQ/TwgaUtI5PTI/AAAAAAAAO0g/7QYdDcn-TKA/s1600/DSCF0898.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="278" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tlymc6oJHUQ/TwgaUtI5PTI/AAAAAAAAO0g/7QYdDcn-TKA/s320/DSCF0898.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;balustrada in forma de naga&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E-8EWVncweI/TwgagXj4ILI/AAAAAAAAO0o/F1Rp4o-6gg0/s1600/DSCF0901.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E-8EWVncweI/TwgagXj4ILI/AAAAAAAAO0o/F1Rp4o-6gg0/s320/DSCF0901.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d-krSCxpLmc/TwghIBbTGFI/AAAAAAAAO1Q/OqpE5_sdLXM/s1600/DSCF0903.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d-krSCxpLmc/TwghIBbTGFI/AAAAAAAAO1Q/OqpE5_sdLXM/s320/DSCF0903.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o6QLC7tWTfg/TwgihccqvPI/AAAAAAAAO1o/An_k-40n8AI/s1600/DSCF0929.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="310" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o6QLC7tWTfg/TwgihccqvPI/AAAAAAAAO1o/An_k-40n8AI/s320/DSCF0929.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;pan lom in forma de naga, la terminatia acoperisului&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XyqkirdhYDI/TwgiHkW4Y3I/AAAAAAAAO1g/uKZUjVOiJvk/s1600/DSCF0917.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XyqkirdhYDI/TwgiHkW4Y3I/AAAAAAAAO1g/uKZUjVOiJvk/s320/DSCF0917.JPG" width="199" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;cho fa in forma de garuda&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;La &lt;i&gt;ubosot&lt;/i&gt; (de obicei inchis) observam rama decorativa de deasupra usii (&lt;i&gt;sum&lt;/i&gt;) si elementul care reprezinta sprancenele lui Buddha, &lt;i&gt;kong khieu&lt;/i&gt;.

Chang Mai, orasul / Traveller in Thailand  4. The Town of Chang Mai</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Our trip really started after we arrived in Chiang Mai.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;This is the biggest town, after Bangkok, and unofficialy considered the capital of the Northern Thailand.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;The name of the town means "the new town". It has been founded by the King Meng Rai in 1296, and became the capital of the Lan Na Kingdom.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;In the town and its oustskirts exist over 300 Buddhist temples which, along with some old houses, show Lan Na style elements. Others present some Burmese elements due to the almost 200 years occupation by this people. Only in 1774, the locals helped by King Taksin, drived away the Burmese and Chiang Mai became part of Siam.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The tourists are more interested in the Old Town, encircled by a moat and walls. The people crossed the moat on bamboo bridges which could be retreated during the night. There were 4 gates to enter the town but in 15th. century a king built another one, The Suan Prung Gate, in order that his mother, living in a palace South of the wall, could enter and supervise the building of the Chedi Luang. Later on this gate was used for the funeral processions. The Tha Phae Gate, the main one, was reconstructed in the '60 after a photo taken in 1891.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;During the 2 days we stayed in the town we used for transportation only songthaew, "the red taxi". One may stop it on the street by waving with the hand, palm oriented downward. A ride should cost 20 bht/person but usually they are asking "more" from the foreigners. It is no use to negociate here as it is, anyhow, very cheap. Tuk-tuks are "more expensive", this means roughly 40 bht/person. The taxis, with meters, are reliable. We only used them twice: from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel to the bus station, on departure day.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;There are many places where you may eat for different prices. The menus, written in English and with photos, help you to order.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The monks are everywhere and little shrines are to be seen near the buildings or shops. They are meant to defend people against the bad spirits.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Wandering on the streets, the tropical vegetation mingles with old Lan Na houses. Here and there you may see a golden chedi. The postal boxes are like the English ones, and I saw funny signs on the cars'plates, which I haven't expected here...There are also graffiti and the street signs are very nice.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;That's almost all I observed in the town during the two days. In the rest of the time I was - obviously - visiting something...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excursia noastra a inceput cu adevarat dupa ce am ajuns la Chiang Mai, cel mai mare oras al Thailandei dupa Bangkok, capitala neoficiala a nordului tarii.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_GTSpe2Ef7s/TwbqsF6pcSI/AAAAAAAAOug/0cgVulpxo88/s1600/DSCF2238.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_GTSpe2Ef7s/TwbqsF6pcSI/AAAAAAAAOug/0cgVulpxo88/s1600/DSCF2238.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;steagul thailandez, arborat cu mandrie peste tot&lt;/div&gt;Orasul, a carui denumire inseamna "orasul nou", a fost fondat de catre regele Meng Rai in 1296 si a devenit capitala Regatului Lan Na. In oras si imprejurimi se afla peste 300 de temple budhiste, dintre care multe prezinta caracteristici ale stilului Lan Na. Altele, pastreaza elemente birmaneze, avand in vedere ocupatia de aproape 200 de ani, care a inceput in 1556, dupa ce birmanezii au cucerit regatul, punand capat dinastiei intemeiate de catre Meng Rai. In 1774, Chiang Mai devine parte a Regatului Siam, dupa ce regele Taksin i-a ajutat pe localnici sa ii alunge pe birmanezi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;o:DocumentProperties&gt;

 Ceea ce intereseaza mai mult pe turisti este Orasul Vechi, inconjurat de santuri si ziduri de aparare, construite din caramida rosie. Santul era traversat pe poduri din bambus, care noaptea se puteau retrage. Initial, se intra in oras pe 4 porti dar, in secolul al 15-lea, regele a adaugat o poarta pentru ca mama sa, care isi avea palatul la sud de zid, sa poata intra sa supravegheze construirea Chediului Luang. Poarta Suan Prung a devenit cea folosita apoi pentru procesiuni funerare. Poarta cea mai importanta este cea de est, Poarta Tha Phae, al carei nume inseamna "ancorarea plutelor" (in vechime, oamenii veneau aici pe raul Ping, folosind plute). Poarta actuala a fost reconstruita in anii ’60, folosindu-se o fotografie a sa din 1891.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nfpxs9O5--I/TwboUGxVpDI/AAAAAAAAOtw/syl94CFi9Eo/s1600/Thapae+Gate+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nfpxs9O5--I/TwboUGxVpDI/AAAAAAAAOtw/syl94CFi9Eo/s320/Thapae+Gate+1.JPG" width="244" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Poarta Tha Phae&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tTX3wsyKiX0/TwboYmoV01I/AAAAAAAAOuA/nK5D6XFpQ4k/s1600/Thapae+Gate+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="221" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tTX3wsyKiX0/TwboYmoV01I/AAAAAAAAOuA/nK5D6XFpQ4k/s320/Thapae+Gate+3.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;zidul de aparare&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9hAwSYxDQf4/Twbooy9P7_I/AAAAAAAAOuI/vHLQf93qwVA/s1600/Suan+Prung+Gate+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9hAwSYxDQf4/Twbooy9P7_I/AAAAAAAAOuI/vHLQf93qwVA/s320/Suan+Prung+Gate+1.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Poarta Suan Prung&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m8mc6qKS5yQ/Twbp2DLSfqI/AAAAAAAAOuQ/_bI6MjoWRcI/s1600/DSCF0839.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m8mc6qKS5yQ/Twbp2DLSfqI/AAAAAAAAOuQ/_bI6MjoWRcI/s320/DSCF0839.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;santul de aparare&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bWL_pzwjnZU/Twbp3wb6vvI/AAAAAAAAOuY/SAJEU5HWH-s/s1600/DSCF1846.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bWL_pzwjnZU/Twbp3wb6vvI/AAAAAAAAOuY/SAJEU5HWH-s/s320/DSCF1846.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;In cele doua zile, cat am stat in oras, am folosit ca mijoc de transport numai &lt;i&gt;songthaew &lt;/i&gt;sau "taxiul rosu", un fel de Dacia papuc carosata dar ceva mai lung, care are in interior doua banci. Are rolul unui microbuz, fara rute fixe. El poate fi oprit oriunde, facand un semn cu mana spre tine, cu palma orientata in jos. Inainte de urcare, spui soferului unde vrei sa mergi (este foarte util sa ai denumirea respectiva scrisa in Thai) si el iti va spune cat costa. Daca citesti pe internet, afli ca, de obicei, cursele in perimetrul orasului - daca te afli in drumul soferului - costa 20 bahti de persoana. In realitate, ei cer strainilor mai mult dar, de cele mai multe ori, nu merita sa te tocmesti pentru ca oricum sunt foarte ieftine. Daca doresti, poti lua s&lt;i&gt;ongtheaw&lt;/i&gt; doar pentru familia ta si atunci costa mai mult. &lt;i&gt;Tuk-tukul &lt;/i&gt;este ceva mai scump, cam 40 bht in oras dar trebuie sa te tocmesti de la inceput fiindca vor cere mai mult. Exista si taxiuri cu ceas, care sunt de incredere.&amp;nbsp; Noi le-am folosit de doua ori, la sosire si la plecare, comandate de guesthouse-ul la care am stat (ceea ce inseamna un pret mai mare, mai ales ca la plecare era dimineata foarte devreme).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a9LXe0GcL5o/TwbwPs760fI/AAAAAAAAOu4/Yac0UBEODL0/s1600/songthaew.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a9LXe0GcL5o/TwbwPs760fI/AAAAAAAAOu4/Yac0UBEODL0/s320/songthaew.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;songthaew&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ULdCMc808EU/TwbwR8T6CMI/AAAAAAAAOvA/nu_PvCmrYmI/s1600/tuk-tuk.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="228" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ULdCMc808EU/TwbwR8T6CMI/AAAAAAAAOvA/nu_PvCmrYmI/s320/tuk-tuk.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;tuk-tuk&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;In orasul vechi exista numeroase locuri unde poti manca (restaurante, terase, pe strada), adaptate pentru orice buzunar. Meniurile cu preturi, aflate la intrare, te ajuta sa te orientezi. Primind cca. 2 milioane de turisti anual, Chiang Mai este orientat spre nevoile acestora, asa ca meniurile sunt in limba engleza si insotite, de multe ori, de fotografii.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Arta si legenda la aeroportul Suvarnabhumi / Traveller in Thailand  3. Art and Legend at Suvarnabhumi Airport</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The new Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok has been inaugurated 5 years ago. In the top of the largest buildings in the world it comes on the 10th place, with a surface of 563000 sq.m. Like on other airports in Asia (Beijing, Delhi, Seoul) there are elements of cultural heritage that attract tourists. It is about the 12 giants'statues in the check-in lobby and the sculpture representing "The Churning of the Milk Ocean" legend, at the International Departures lounge.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The 12 giants are heroes of the Ramakien, a Thai epic, adapted after the Sanskrit Ramayana., which meand "Rama's Way". Rama is Vishnu's reincarnation, produced in order to teach the right way, all the living creatures on Earth. To correspond to the Thai style, in Ramakien the clothes, weapons,topography and natural elements have been adapted. The statues took as model those from the Temple of the Emerald Budha in Bangkok.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The legend which is depicted by the sculpture group at the International Departure lounge goes like this: Naga Vasuki, the king of the snakes, is coiled around Mount Mandara. Vishnu Kurmavatara, represented as a turtle, sustains on his back, the world. The demigods (Devas) and the demons (Asuras) pull on the Naga in order to churn the water of the ocean to produce Amrita, the nectar of immortality. Dhanvantari is born from this churning and he has a cup with Amrita. In this moment, after attaining their goal, the Devas banish Asuras in the Underworld.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aeroportul nou Suvarnabhumi din Bangkok a fost inaugurat acum 5 ani. Intr-un top al celor mai mari cladiri din lume, el se afla pe locul 10, cu o suprafata de 563000 m² (fata de locul I, aeroportul din Dubai, de trei ori mai mare). Ca si in alte aeroporturi din Asia (Beijing, Delhi, Seoul), si aici se pot vedea elemente de cultura proprie, care atrag turistii si ii familiarizeaza cu aceasta inca de la intrarea in tara. Ma refer aici la statuile celor 12 uriasi, expuse la et. 4, in sala de check-in dar si la transpunerea sculpturala a unei legende -&amp;nbsp; &lt;i&gt;Involburarea Oceanului de Lapte&lt;/i&gt; - aflata la nivelul Plecari internationale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cei 12 uriasi sunt eroi din &lt;i&gt;Ramakien&lt;/i&gt;. Fiecare are 6 m inaltime si cantareste mai mult de o tona. Sculpturile au costat 30 milioane de bahti. &lt;i&gt;Ramakien&lt;/i&gt; este varianta thailandeza a &lt;i&gt;Ramayanei&lt;/i&gt;, epopeea sanscrita, care inseamna "Drumul lui Rama". Rama este incarnarea lui Vishnu, incarnare care s-a produs cu scopul de a arata, tuturor vietuitoarelor de pe Pamant, calea cea dreapta. Numeroase culturi asiatice au preluat aceasta epopee, adaptand-o. In &lt;i&gt;Ramakien&lt;/i&gt; au fost adaptate, pentru a corespunde stilului Thai, imbracamintea, armele, elementele naturii, topografia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Statuile au drept model pe cele pe care le veti vedea vizitand Templul lui Budha de Smarald. Acolo, ele protejeaza templul de diavoli si fantome, fiind dispusi in 6 perechi. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fotografiile care urmeaza ii prezinta pe cei 12 uriasi de la aeroport.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Valoarea acestui grup sculptural este de 48 milioane de bahti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dupa cum ne explica placa de alaturi, Naga Vasuki, regele serpilor, este incolacit in jurul Muntelui Mandara, iar Vishnu Kurmavatara, incarnat sub forma unei broaste testoase, sustine lumea pe spatele sau. Devas (semizeii) si Asuras (demonii) trag de corpul lui Naga pentru a involbura apele Oceanului de Lapte, cu scopul de a produce Amrita, nectarul nemuririi. Din aceasta involburare se naste Dhanvantari, care poarta vasul cu Amrita. In acest moment, colaborarea dintre Devas si Asuras se termina. Devas, care si-a atins scopul de a dobandi Amrita, ii arunca pe Asuras din Cer in Lumea subterana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tg3dtyaBAoM/TwNz1NU75TI/AAAAAAAAOtA/wC0IvFlVKUI/s1600/DSCF5012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tg3dtyaBAoM/TwNz1NU75TI/AAAAAAAAOtA/wC0IvFlVKUI/s320/DSCF5012.JPG" width="303" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Involburarea Oceanului de Lapte&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pzVxc4nTM9c/TwNz5Sev9nI/AAAAAAAAOtI/xfaxoGLXOQo/s1600/DSCF5024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="224" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pzVxc4nTM9c/TwNz5Sev9nI/AAAAAAAAOtI/xfaxoGLXOQo/s320/DSCF5024.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;grupul Devas (semizeii)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bEqbztz7acs/TwNz7eVtcvI/AAAAAAAAOtQ/pSzP6sHkzDo/s1600/DSCF5025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bEqbztz7acs/TwNz7eVtcvI/AAAAAAAAOtQ/pSzP6sHkzDo/s320/DSCF5025.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;grupul Asuras (demonii)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ul53i9hfPXg/TwNz9TnyaDI/AAAAAAAAOtY/SqbiyokC4aY/s1600/DSCF5022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="228" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ul53i9hfPXg/TwNz9TnyaDI/AAAAAAAAOtY/SqbiyokC4aY/s320/DSCF5022.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Vishnu Kurmavatara, sub forma broastei testoase&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iP0XM2P_cns/TwN0ATBYQQI/AAAAAAAAOtg/TGYbHcatPs8/s1600/DSCF5016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iP0XM2P_cns/TwN0ATBYQQI/AAAAAAAAOtg/TGYbHcatPs8/s320/DSCF5016.JPG" width="184" /&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Dhanvantari, purtand vasul cu Amrita&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8hStkgtRT_w/TwN0CZTuuyI/AAAAAAAAOto/z_Ng_PMBy3M/s1600/DSCF5018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8hStkgtRT_w/TwN0CZTuuyI/AAAAAAAAOto/z_Ng_PMBy3M/s320/DSCF5018.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;ofranda&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramayana"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramayana&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.top10notes.com/largest-building/"&gt;http://www.top10notes.com/largest-building/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5387434597358464040-5659981580646831627?l=travelinghawk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://travelinghawk.blogspot.com/feeds/5659981580646831627/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5387434597358464040&amp;postID=5659981580646831627&amp;isPopup=true' title='39 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5387434597358464040/posts/default/5659981580646831627'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5387434597358464040/posts/default/5659981580646831627'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://travelinghawk.blogspot.com/2012/01/calator-in-thailanda-3-arta-si-legenda.html' title='Calator in Thailanda  3.

Zborul, dus-intors / Traveller in Thailand 2. Return Flight</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;i&gt;It was the first time for me to fly AEROSVIT. In their magazine on board I read that they will start to cease offering meals on board on the domestic flights. It is no wonder as every flight company struggles with the crisis but to offer only fish, with no other choice, as long as there are people who do not eat fish...Besides, I had a problem with the behaviour of the stewardeses. They were very bossy, quarelsome, with their own people (I mean Ukrainians) and I didn't like this. The stewards were more agreeable.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;On our way to Bangkok, the Boeing 767 we flew from Kiev was full. A lot of Ukrainians were going to holiday in Thailand. Few westerners and even less Thai people were in the plain. What a difference toward our flight to Delhi, in 2010, when the departure terminal in Istanbul was full of Indians, working in Europe and taking advantage on the Christmas holiday to visit their homes!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Our places have been in the middle of the plane, so I couldn't take photos. We arrived at Suvarnabumi airport at 4.30 in the morning. We changed money firstly in order to pay our on arrival visas. Then, we took our luggage and went to the domestic flights area, as we flew further, to Chiang Mai. A lot of people were there and due to the formalities it was just possible to skip the flight. So, if you have an internal flight, be there more in advance!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;We flew Air Asia to Chiang Mai, one and a half hour. The town from Northern Thailand welcomed us with sun and warm weather, so we felt the "summer" has begun for us.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;After the days we spent there, we moved forward to Sukhotai, by bus.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The two days spent in Sukhotai and Si Sanchanalai went by rapidly and we flew again to Bangkok. This time it was a private company, Bangkok Airways, which is in business since 1968. They built their own airport in Sukhotai from where they operate two flights daily to Bangkok and Chiang Mai. The airport is awesome, I may say. It looks more as a resort than as an airport. The waiting room is open, furniture is Thai, lotus ponds and even a small chedi create a nice atmosphere. The plain is colorful, a real vacation plane!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;On our return flight from Bangkok the plane was not so full but the long flight (11 hours) was tiresome. Then, from Kiev again, there have been only one and a half hours to Budapest. On the airport I spent my time looking at the people. From Budapest we still had almost 5 hours driving to Timisoara, my home town. The sunset was beautiful as to say us that our journey came to an end.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asa cum am scris in postarea anterioara, am calatorit spre Thailanda cu AEROSVIT. Este prima data cand folosesc aceasta companie. Nu ma plang prea mult de serviciile la bord, fiindca toti fac acum economii, unii mai mult decat altii. Intr-o revista aflata la bord am citit chiar ca AEROSVIT se pregateste ca, din acest an, sa renunte la orice masa oferita pe zborurile interne... Se simte deja si la cele externe...De fapt nu am termen de comparatie fiindca n-am mai calatorit cu ei, dar sa oferi numai peste, fara optiune, cand nu toata lumea mananca peste, nu mi se pare normal...Ceea ce lasa de dorit este comportamentul stewardeselor care se adreseaza rastit calatorilor si au niste mutre cam acre, exceptand momentele cand vorbesc intre ele in timp ce ii servesc pe pasageri. Stewarzii (si au multi) sunt mai atenti si mai simpatici.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La dus, in Boeingul 767 care a plecat din Kiev spre Bangkok, nu era loc sa arunci un ac! Era plin ochi de turisti ucrainieni, care plecau la plaja. Mai erau si ceva occidentali, dar putini, iar pe thailandezi i-am numarat pe degetele de la maini. Ma gandesc ca anul trecut, cand am zburat de la Istanbul la Delhi, calatorii erau predominant indieni care mergeau acasa, fiind vacanta Europa in care munceau...Am avut locuri in mijloc, asa ca nu am putut face fotografii din avion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-13EI0tZfyGY/TwGhdZKbk7I/AAAAAAAAOiE/GsKMwv-DxDM/s1600/DSCF0694.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-13EI0tZfyGY/TwGhdZKbk7I/AAAAAAAAOiE/GsKMwv-DxDM/s320/DSCF0694.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Am ajuns pe aeroportul Suvarnabumi dimineata, la 4.30. Un aeroport imens, cum ne-au obisnuit deja orasele asiatice vizitate (Beijing, Delhi, Seoul), foarte curat, cu multe flori si foarte bine organizat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gDxurRhYSZ0/TwGk3WvehOI/AAAAAAAAOiQ/KXxpw4rhv_k/s1600/DSCF0700.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gDxurRhYSZ0/TwGk3WvehOI/AAAAAAAAOiQ/KXxpw4rhv_k/s320/DSCF0700.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;la sosire, pe aeroportul Suvarnabumi&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7al3GTJhxaY/TwGk6bjQeHI/AAAAAAAAOiY/qCwuQ_aZwt8/s1600/DSCF0707.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7al3GTJhxaY/TwGk6bjQeHI/AAAAAAAAOiY/qCwuQ_aZwt8/s320/DSCF0707.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ySYni5HzmLg/TwGlBNzQwaI/AAAAAAAAOio/FmVcFOIosTg/s1600/DSCF0750.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ySYni5HzmLg/TwGlBNzQwaI/AAAAAAAAOio/FmVcFOIosTg/s320/DSCF0750.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jESQNQ0QK-Q/TwGu4hml54I/AAAAAAAAOjA/TqCTT227PR8/s1600/DSCF3325.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jESQNQ0QK-Q/TwGu4hml54I/AAAAAAAAOjA/TqCTT227PR8/s320/DSCF3325.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RLj5I9fMuaY/TwGvBLkIbCI/AAAAAAAAOjI/kzM298FpC8U/s1600/DSCF3331.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RLj5I9fMuaY/TwGvBLkIbCI/AAAAAAAAOjI/kzM298FpC8U/s320/DSCF3331.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Am mers mai intai sa schimbam bani pentru a putea sa ne platim viza. Cursul de schimb era de 28.95-31.39 baht pentru un dolar si 38.99 baht pentru un euro. La "Visa on Arrival" (viza la sosire) am platit cate 1000 baht pentru o persoana, plus 200 baht "taxa de urgenta". N-am prea inteles de ce trebuia platita asta, fiindca oricum ti-o dadea pe loc, nu te tinea trei zile pe aeroport si mai ales de ce nu se dadea nici o chitanta pentru aceasta suma?! Ne-am ridicat apoi bagajele si ne-am indreptat spre partea de zboruri interne a aeroportului, intrucat urma sa plecam peste cateva ore la Chiang Mai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desi era inca noapte, aeroportul era plin de lume si cu tot check in-ul electronic pe care l-am facut, tot a trebuit sa stam la un rand kilometric ca sa predam bagajul Daca nu esti atent la factorul "aglomeratie", risti sa pierzi avionul! Bine ca atunci cand se apropie ora plecarii unui avion, niste tinere se plimba cu pancarte printre pasageri pentru a-i scoate din rand pe cei care au bilete la zborul iminent si a-i duce in fata, pentru a urgenta formalitatile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spre Chiang Mai am zburat cu Air Asia, cam o ora si jumatate. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1EOe5S3k268/TwG2vJApI9I/AAAAAAAAOjc/InPvqWl1lzM/s1600/DSCF0756.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="236" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1EOe5S3k268/TwG2vJApI9I/AAAAAAAAOjc/InPvqWl1lzM/s320/DSCF0756.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;se pregateste avionul nostru spre Chiang Mai&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BW8CrOYy2Ak/TwG2y-WL_sI/AAAAAAAAOjk/CTWwfnfVSqI/s1600/DSCF0773.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BW8CrOYy2Ak/TwG2y-WL_sI/AAAAAAAAOjk/CTWwfnfVSqI/s320/DSCF0773.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Suvarnabumi, de sus&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yCT24zdyp-s/TwG2121ClHI/AAAAAAAAOjs/_h-fmLXvJ2Q/s1600/DSCF0775.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yCT24zdyp-s/TwG2121ClHI/AAAAAAAAOjs/_h-fmLXvJ2Q/s320/DSCF0775.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;in imprejurimile Bangkok-ului&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SUa3aLPrfrg/TwG25gEu4eI/AAAAAAAAOj4/NPQRzjhlv6E/s1600/DSCF0809.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SUa3aLPrfrg/TwG25gEu4eI/AAAAAAAAOj4/NPQRzjhlv6E/s320/DSCF0809.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;printre nori&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JvqrGS7iTcY/TwG2_Mkt35I/AAAAAAAAOkA/EiJqzefGQDc/s1600/DSCF0818.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JvqrGS7iTcY/TwG2_Mkt35I/AAAAAAAAOkA/EiJqzefGQDc/s320/DSCF0818.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;deasupra Chiang Mai-ului&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_rKzJMmHuwE/TwG3DkYQV5I/AAAAAAAAOkI/cgdcdyS6Urw/s1600/DSCF0830.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_rKzJMmHuwE/TwG3DkYQV5I/AAAAAAAAOkI/cgdcdyS6Urw/s320/DSCF0830.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;am aterizat la Chiang Mai&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Dupa zilele petrecute in Chiang Mai, ne-am deplasat la Sukhotai cu autobuzul, urmand ca de acolo sa zburam din nou spre Bangkok, cu un avion al unei companii private, Bangkok Airways. Aceasta opereaza pe piata din 1968 si este singura care opereaza in Sukhotai, avand doua curse pe zi, la Bangkok si Chiang Mai. In acest scop si-au construit propriul aeroport, mic si elegant, care arata mai degraba ca resort decat ca aeroport.&amp;nbsp; Avionul colorat are si el aer de vacanta. Din pacate, geamul meu era foarte zgariat si pozele sunt brazdate de linii. Am incercat sa decupez macar una, facuta in apropiere de Bangkok.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6WDrfuWIHuo/TwHiGlfWDuI/AAAAAAAAOk4/1aBmtSynRbg/s1600/DSCF3279.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

After 14 years we had to put him to sleep because he was exhausted. We cried a lot, like after a family member because he was a family member. After some years a black female Labrador, named Kara, tried to soothe us...But once again we had to put her to sleep because she paralysed at an age of not even 4 years...Again we cried some years and said that we will never have a dog again...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;But then came Nero, a little street dog, full of life and joy...Yesterday he was 8 months old! Today he left us some hours ago, hit by a speeding madman, right in the parking of the block. He didn't even stop...I'm sure that Nero went to Rocky and Kara in the dogs' heaven, to tell them what we have done meantime...Good by, Nero!&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;Forgive the people who are so thoughtless...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pentru unii, anul nou a fulgerat o clipa, apoi s-a stins... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am avut o data un Collie, pe nume Rocky. A trait 14 ani si, in final, a trebuit sa-l eutanasiem fiindca nu mai avea putere nici sa stea in picioare, cadea gramada. L-am jelit mult timp, ca pe un membru al familiei, fiindca asta si era...Peste cativa ani, o Labradorita neagra, Cara, a incercat sa ne aline...Dar la nici 4 ani a trebuit sa o eutanasiem si pe ea...Ii paralizase partea posterioara si se chinuia ingrozitor...Am plans-o niste ani si am spus ca nu vom mai avea alt caine...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dar a aparut Nero, "Nas Patat" cum l-a poreclit o vecina, un maidanez vesel si plin de viata, care ieri a implinit...8 luni! Ne-am atasat de el, mai ales ca era si tare cuminte. Cu vreo 2-3 ore in urma, un vitezoman (care va sfarsi in vreun copac) l-a lovit in parcarea de langa bloc si l-a omorat pe loc! Nici macar nu a oprit...Nero ne-a parasit si el acum, la inceput de an nou. Doi caini in ultimii patru ani e parca prea mult...Sunt sigura ca Nero s-a intalnit acum cu Kara si cu Rocky si le povesteste despre ce am mai facut noi intre timp. Sunt fericiti acum cu totii, in Raiul cateilor. Adio, Nero! Iarta-i pe oameni ca sunt nesocotiti...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uxeVh-KlYGg/TwHUqKS9jSI/AAAAAAAAOks/Ed1M_Aptg3w/s1600/DSCF0065.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uxeVh-KlYGg/TwHUqKS9jSI/AAAAAAAAOks/Ed1M_Aptg3w/s320/DSCF0065.JPG" width="265" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5387434597358464040-49847345298065161?l=travelinghawk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5387434597358464040/posts/default/49847345298065161'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5387434597358464040/posts/default/49847345298065161'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://travelinghawk.blogspot.com/2012/01/s-stins-un-suflet-little-soul-is-gone.html' title='S-a stins un suflet / A little soul is gone'/><author><name>Traveling Hawk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05537916238477256361</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eGt6W2_3fGk/TGmub-TKYJI/AAAAAAAACto/NxKJlQG5uSc/S220/736hawk.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uxeVh-KlYGg/TwHUqKS9jSI/AAAAAAAAOks/Ed1M_Aptg3w/s72-c/DSCF0065.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387434597358464040.post-1985546549331686908</id><published>2012-01-01T15:30:00.002+04:00</published><updated>2012-01-01T17:51:22.999+04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='- diverse'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='- cazare/accommodation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='- Ucraina/Ukraine'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='- Europa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Thailanda/Thailand'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='- Asia'/><title type='text'>Calator in Thailanda 1. Sa incepem cu....sfarsitul / Traveller in Thailand 1.Let's begin with the...end!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I choosed to start with the end of my vacation because in Kiev we experienced a crispy winter morning, with a deep blue sky and bright sun, and the trees adorned with white frost. Till my story will be finished, the winter will be gone, so I wanted to show you those photos now.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I started to make plans for our vacation in Thailand since last April, when I bought the flight tickets. We traveled with the Ukrainean company AEROSVIT, starting from Budapest airport, Hungary.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;Because the company changed the flight programme twice, we had to spend a night in Kiev at each flight (on the expenses of the company, of course). I have been to Kiev many years before but I still wanted to see a little of the city. But it happens that we couldn't do this. On our way to Thailand it was a dull, cold, foggy afternoon and few hours left. When we came back, we were already tired by the 11 hours flight and decided to stay in the hotel. Next morning was a glorious one and we walked a little around the hotel, and took some photos. Those I want to share with you today.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In aprilie anul trecut imi faceam deja planuri pentru Thailanda. Cumparasem biletele de avion pe ruta Budapesta-Kiev-Bangkok si retur, urmand sa zburam in decembrie, cu compania ucraineana AEROSVIT. La inceput toate planurile au fost pentru un sejur in Bangkok. In octombrie, cand apele au acoperit capitala thailandeza, am inceput sa urmaresc cu ingrijorare site-urile lor, vizionand zeci de clipuri si citind nenumarate pareri pe forumuri. Spre sfarsitul lui noiembrie apele inca nu se retrasesera. Aeroportul Suvarnabumi, foarte bine aparat de inundatii, ramasese insa functional si compania nu anulase zborurile. In consecinta, trebuia sa plecam, oricum ar fi fost, fiindca altfel pierdeam banii de avion. In aceasta situatie am refacut planul, orientandu-ma si spre alte parti ale Thailandei si lasand pentru Bangkok doar 3 zile, la sfarsit. Am ales locuri cu care mai cochetasem dar la care am renuntat, timpul fiind prea scurt. Acum, mi-am spus ca mai bine vad cate ceva din acele locuri, decat sa risc sa stau doar in Bangkok si eventual sa nu pot vizita prea multe....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In vara, AEROSVIT si-a schimbat orarul de zbor si ne-a propus variante noi. Am optat pentru petrecerea noptii in Kiev si la dus si la intors, sperand sa putem merge putin in oras. Cazarea - pe banii companiei - o aveam asigurata la un hotel in apropierea aeroportului.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cand a sosit ziua plecarii spre Thailanda, in Bangkok lucrurile reintrasera in normal. Am plecat de dimineata cu masina la Budapesta si de acolo am zburat la Kiev.

Ne-am plimbat putin prin parcul in care era localizat hotelul. Era pustiu dar ne puteam lesne imagina ce frumos este vara acolo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W4AIjjXz51I/TwA8xXoGfaI/AAAAAAAAOd8/IBg2YaXhIyo/s1600/DSCF0671.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W4AIjjXz51I/TwA8xXoGfaI/AAAAAAAAOd8/IBg2YaXhIyo/s320/DSCF0671.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2feOWOfT3RU/TwA8z76BHCI/AAAAAAAAOeE/CcgzhpdeqY0/s1600/DSCF0672.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2feOWOfT3RU/TwA8z76BHCI/AAAAAAAAOeE/CcgzhpdeqY0/s320/DSCF0672.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q-o1nh9eCHM/TwA83V9n6iI/AAAAAAAAOeM/549I8TWjIVk/s1600/DSCF0667.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q-o1nh9eCHM/TwA83V9n6iI/AAAAAAAAOeM/549I8TWjIVk/s320/DSCF0667.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;A doua zi am plecat spre Bangkok. Aeroportul din Kiev este un aeroport vechi, putin cosmetizat, iar serviciile lasa mult de dorit. Si la dus si la intors am stat cate jumatate de ora la ghiseu pana s-a dumirit domnisoara de acolo ca avem rezervare la hotel si nu trebuie sa faca altceva decat sa ne transfere de la aeroport la hotel. Cred ca o incurca faptul ca totul se facea pe banii companiei ucrainiene...parca am fi fost primii turisti in situatia asta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dy65mHjz-mE/TwBASiAKR2I/AAAAAAAAOfA/NpqfrqzQjcU/s1600/DSCF0682.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dy65mHjz-mE/TwBASiAKR2I/AAAAAAAAOfA/NpqfrqzQjcU/s320/DSCF0682.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;aeroportul din Kiev&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kFfsmR7s4gU/TwBAU8CfdjI/AAAAAAAAOfI/JlXDw-ITInM/s1600/DSCF0679.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kFfsmR7s4gU/TwBAU8CfdjI/AAAAAAAAOfI/JlXDw-ITInM/s320/DSCF0679.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dzaUYr67XMk/TwBAXe9IbaI/AAAAAAAAOfQ/qBv0EgMQEYw/s1600/DSCF0689.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dzaUYr67XMk/TwBAXe9IbaI/AAAAAAAAOfQ/qBv0EgMQEYw/s320/DSCF0689.JPG" width="312" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;La intoarcerea spre casa, Kievul ne-a intampinat cu cer senin si soare. De data asta eram insa obositi dupa cele 11 ore de zbor si am ramas din nou la hotel, altul decat cel de la dus. Hotel "Korona", desi foarte simplu, ne-a impresionat placut prin curatenie si liniste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OLJtsIF48SI/TwBG394xvzI/AAAAAAAAOfo/ugb9WsCOiJw/s1600/DSCF5066.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OLJtsIF48SI/TwBG394xvzI/AAAAAAAAOfo/ugb9WsCOiJw/s320/DSCF5066.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Hotel Korona, Borispil&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m4iOCocvGv4/TwBHHm_VV8I/AAAAAAAAOgI/nLB3yaDNXvo/s1600/DSCF5056.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m4iOCocvGv4/TwBHHm_VV8I/AAAAAAAAOgI/nLB3yaDNXvo/s320/DSCF5056.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;Cum peste noapte se depusese o promoroaca groasa, care ne infatisa acum un peisaj de iarna, am iesit sa ne plimbam putin la cele minus 6 grade kievene. Borispil, mica localitate de langa aeroport unde se afla hotelul Korona, este o aglomerare de vile noi, cu inca destule terenuri care isi asteapta clientii, asa ca am avut impresia ca suntem la o margine de padure cand, de fapt, autostrada era la cateva sute de metri mai incolo. Am vrut sa va arat acum aceste fotografii pentru ca, pana voi termina de povestit calatoria in Thailanda, iarna va fi trecuta deja...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iMUcVNsvQok/TwBHsqrNJjI/AAAAAAAAOgU/6WrPk_vnKEU/s1600/DSCF5073.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

They invited here great artists to embelish the town.&amp;nbsp; Brunelleschi, Alberti, Mantegna, Pisanello are only few of them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Here is what I see in my day trip to Mantua:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Palace of&amp;nbsp; Reason (1250);&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Clock Tower;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;St Lorenzo Rotonda, XIth century;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Castiglione Palace, 13th. century;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Duke's Palace;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt; The Bishops House, baroque style;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Cathedral;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;St. George Castle;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;i&gt;Most of them could be seen in the Herbs Market and in Sordello Market. I had no time to visit them inside, where the true treasures are, the pieces of arts. There are also many other places to visit in Mantua so, if you are in Italy, please consider to put this town on your list. It is worth a visit!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un alt oras frumos din Campia Po, Lombardia este Mantova, aflat la confluenta raului Po cu Mincio. Orasul, inconjurat de lacuri unite intre ele prin poduri, are o asezare unica. Denumirea sa deriva de la zeul etrusc Mantus. Istoria se pierde in legende. preluate si folosite de Virgiliu in epopeea sa&amp;nbsp; Eneida. Asa aflam ca asezarea a fost construita din ordinul lui Ocnus, un erou etrusc. Nimic nu confirma insa aceasta origine. Galii s-au stabilit aici pentru putin timp, apoi orasul a fost condus de romani. In perioada medievala, a facut parte din domeniul contesei Mathilda de Canossa, apoi a devenit oras liber. Dupa 1328, puternica familie de Gonzaga a inceput sa conduca orasul, ducand la inflorirea sa culturala si artistica. In acelasi timp i-a crescut puterea economica si politica, asa incat i s-a atribuit numele de "orasul lui Gonzaga". Timp de patru secole cat a durat aceasta stapanire, pictori, arhitecti si scriitori renumiti au lucrat in Mantova. Brunelleschi, Alberti, Mantegna, Pisanello sunt doar cativa. In 1707 Mantova si-a pierdut independenta politica, intrand sub stapanirea austriaca. Luptele cunoscute ca Risorgimento au fost grele pentru Mantova dar, in cele din urma, orasul a fost anexat Regatului Italiei.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Piazza delle Erbe are numeroase cladiri importante si se caracterizeaza prin portalurile sale, pe care le regasim peste tot in oras. Predomina culorile brun-roscat si gaben-ambra. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Hko_F9vR-uw/Tvx2Stlg2VI/AAAAAAAAOcM/P0_PW0eHhgA/s1600/DSCF9107.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Hko_F9vR-uw/Tvx2Stlg2VI/AAAAAAAAOcM/P0_PW0eHhgA/s320/DSCF9107.JPG" width="239" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Palatul Ratiunii (1250) are ferestre cu arcuri sustinute de mici stalpi de marmora care fac un bun efect cromatic. Acesta a servit ca sediu al Inaltei Curti de Justitie. Lui i se alatura Turnul cu Ceas, construit de Luca Fancelli dupa modelul clasic urmat in toata Italia, are intr-o nisa o statuie a Madonnei din secolul 17. Rotonda St. Laurentiu este o mica biserica in stil romanesc, construita la sfarsitul secolului al 11-lea. Ea a fost construita din ordinul contesei Mathilda de Canossa. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-39nicNHmStw/Tvxy8wmwo0I/AAAAAAAAObY/7zNBVcaOckg/s1600/P+delle+Erbe.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-39nicNHmStw/Tvxy8wmwo0I/AAAAAAAAObY/7zNBVcaOckg/s320/P+delle+Erbe.JPG" width="224" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e_nm9VuS1uE/Tvx0bfJAB4I/AAAAAAAAObk/vUHZwZKjSYk/s1600/Pal+della+Ragione.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="297" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e_nm9VuS1uE/Tvx0bfJAB4I/AAAAAAAAObk/vUHZwZKjSYk/s320/Pal+della+Ragione.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Palatul Ratiunii si Turnul cu Ceas&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lorfVXSaTZs/Tvx0dBzmaqI/AAAAAAAAObs/g7UQNahYjRM/s1600/Pal+Ragione+Turnul+cu+ceas.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lorfVXSaTZs/Tvx0dBzmaqI/AAAAAAAAObs/g7UQNahYjRM/s320/Pal+Ragione+Turnul+cu+ceas.JPG" width="214" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;detaliu cu Madonna&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6S-N_0xdDXU/Tvx1cnJYhbI/AAAAAAAAOb4/jbm1x0AP8VE/s1600/Rotonda+sf+Laurentiu.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6S-N_0xdDXU/Tvx1cnJYhbI/AAAAAAAAOb4/jbm1x0AP8VE/s320/Rotonda+sf+Laurentiu.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Rotonda Sf.

Este, de fapt, un grup de cladiri cunoscut sub numele de Palatul Ducal. Palatul Castiglione, aflat si el tot in aceasta piata, dateaza din secolul al 13-lea. Casa Episcopala, in stil baroc, face nota discordanta cu ansamblul pietei. Catedrala,&amp;nbsp; construita la inceputul secolului al 11-lea in stil romanesc, are si ea o fatada noua, construita in secolul al 18-lea.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-s0HNML2kDOo/Tvx3wOm_UUI/AAAAAAAAOcY/PAEDP3XaOR0/s1600/Palatul+Castiglioni.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="229" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-s0HNML2kDOo/Tvx3wOm_UUI/AAAAAAAAOcY/PAEDP3XaOR0/s320/Palatul+Castiglioni.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Palatul Castiglione&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fVAERz1maHE/Tvx4SkiLFuI/AAAAAAAAOck/B0seCLC2udI/s1600/Casa+episcopala.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="210" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fVAERz1maHE/Tvx4SkiLFuI/AAAAAAAAOck/B0seCLC2udI/s320/Casa+episcopala.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Casa Episcopala&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZvYhpyKYLk4/Tvx4_kEcPBI/AAAAAAAAOcw/71BVFpjgvBc/s1600/P+Sordello.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="166" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZvYhpyKYLk4/Tvx4_kEcPBI/AAAAAAAAOcw/71BVFpjgvBc/s320/P+Sordello.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Piata Sordello cu Catedrala (stanga) si Palatul Ducal (dreapta)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m9FkN6Oms6I/Tvx5YbnkXPI/AAAAAAAAOc8/EAmlMYvaMqI/s1600/Catedrala.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m9FkN6Oms6I/Tvx5YbnkXPI/AAAAAAAAOc8/EAmlMYvaMqI/s320/Catedrala.JPG" width="251" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Catedrala, detaliu&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;La sfarsitul secolului al 14-lea, Bartolino de Novara a construit pentru familia Gonzaga&amp;nbsp; Castelul Sf.
