Wat complex with new buildings being dedicated over a holiday weekend northwest of Chiang Mai near the Mae Ngat dam. THe landscape was swamped by smoke from burning fields, often enough blowing over from Myanmar. It went on for months, with visibility greatly reduced, flights cancelled in some airports, and increased health problems for those susceptible to lung ailments.
