Happened just after we left the city. The white temple that we posted about was severely damaged. Shocking!!
We may have just avoided this natural disaster by hours and we may be some of the last people to ever photograph the white temple as it appears the damage is worse than originally thought. Heartbreaking to see this man's dream so challenged.
We are also extremely glad we were able to get out of Chiang Rai before the roads looked like that.
