Samlor at Thapae Gate, Chiang Mai, Thailand

As I have been in Chiang Mai this weekend, it is time to post some photos. This one I took in the evening just outside Thapae Gate which used to be the main gate in to the walled city. Times have changed of course as the city has outgrown the confines of the (remaining) walls and moat to expand well beyond the original boundaries. The gate is still important in Chiang Mai as the immediate area is the scene of many events including a market on Sundays. Samlors are still used in Chiang Mai and this guy just looks as though he is waiting for some traveller to come up the road towards the city.
