We rented motorbikes and took a day trip to test them out After we rented our motorbikes (from Mr. Beer motorbike rentals) we took a day trip up to the temple Doi Suthep to check out the bikes and get used to driving them on the busy streets. Doi Suthep is on the top of a nearby hill, so the ride up scales up the side of the hill much like the hills around Mount Tam just outside of San Francisco. The temple itself is quite a tourist attraction, bringing visitors from all over to check out the temple as well as the views of the area. It's an interesting place to not only appreciate the temple structures, architecture and statues, but also to see the many people worshiping.
