Thailand 1975 - Chang Mai and Bangkok

After spending several months in India and Nepal, arriving in Bangkok was a huge culture shock. We left Bangkok speedily and went to Chang Mai in the north, and oasis of calm at that time.

There were few tourists in Chang Mai and we enjoyed several days exploring the Golden Triangle on a rented motorcycle.
