Silk worms, Chiang Mai Thailand.

Thai silk is everywhere in Thailand but rarely do you see the amazing creatures that help create the beautiful silk. Silk worms at work at an artisan shop in Chiang Mai.

Artisan markets, Chiang Mai Thailand.

Tuk tuk drivers will happily take you to all of the artisan places in Chiang Mai, partly because they receive commission for doing so. The shops take you to the back rooms and show you how things are made. I was able to see the silk worms, hand woven rugs, raw jade being made into jewelry and decor, and a silver smith.

After sprinting up the 309 steps to the top to catch sunrise I was rewarded with these amazing views of the northern Thailand mountains.
