Camping part 4

After coming back down from the nature trail about 8 of us headed out again to see the actual highest point in Thailand. I had bought Gina this angry bird hat because she likes angry birds, but of course she wouldn't wear it in public, so I did! 

This was the first sign we saw- we hoped we would find a better one!
This one was more what we were looking for...Gina was happy- I don't know about Andy.
Yes, we made it to the top...driving! Woohoo

Some history for you about Doi Inthanon
Proof that it was cold...this was the morning temp

After we left the highest point we had to stop at this place we had seen on the way, because there was a sign that said:



How could we NOT stop! Who wouldn't want to see the most beautiful toilet! 

It was where the military built one Chedi for the King of Thailand's 60th birthday and then they added a second for the Queen's 60th birthday. It was very beautiful, but also very Buddhist. A Chedi is a building that contains Buddhist relics. I didn't go into either of them but we walked around the gardens which were beautiful.

I believe this one was built in honor of the King

They had stairs and an escalator to get to the top of each one

Looking out and thinking (actually talking on her phone)

Bob and Marcia are really there...you can barely see them!

just look at that sky!

We did see the bathroom....here is outside of it.

The sinks are kind of cool and it is open to outside as you can tell by the  mirrors.

It looked very clean...no TP as usually though...


So there you have it- My camping trip to the highest point in Thailand. It was a great time of fellowship and enjoying God's creation. It is wonderful that we can praise the Creator of heaven and earth wherever we go whether in Thailand or around the world.
