Wat Phantao

Chiang Mai, Thailand

One problem I’ve always had with getting involved in local traditions is my outsider’s perspective. I don’t like “going along with the motions” when those around me are taking everything very seriously. Fortunately, having lived in #Thailand 🇹🇭 for nearly six years now, I’m not so much of an outsider. As an example, I lit this candle during Loy Krathong in Chiang Mai to bring me luck and prosperity. Like everyone else around me, I wrote my name on the label - in Thai. #LifeAtExpedia
