One weekend near the end of 2012, my boyfriend and I grew restless (as we often do in the city) and decided to take an aimless drive to see if we could get lost in some nature. In a place like
Chiang Mai, that's very easy to do, and before we knew it, we were winding through breezy roads around Doi Saket, where we found a little waterfall in the jungle, a temple near the mountain, and a sprawling scene of fields just as the sun started sinking.
Here are the photos from our day-trip through Doi Saket:

Welcome to Doi Saket. |

The road up to the temple. |
 |
A sculpture outside the temple. |
 |
Beautifully painted bunnies and flowers on the temple's outer walls. |
 |
Interesting artwork by Chaiwat Wannanon. Modern artwork is not usually displayed in Thai temples. |
 |
Thought-provoking, much? |
 |
My boyfriend climbing the stairs to another part of the temple. |
 |
Chickens crossing the road! Yes, that is my sort of humour... |
 |
Our next stop - a jungly bit of nowhere. |
 |
A baby waterfall. |
 |
The waterfall where we ate lunch and my boyfriend practised being camouflaged. |

Another baby waterfall. |
 |
The path out the jungle. |
 |
The scenic fields I mentioned earlier. Oh, and that guy. |
 |
A good spot to watch the sunset. |
