WAT DOI SUTHEP, UNO DE LOS TEMPLOS MÁS SAGRADOS DE TAILANDIA; Por Rosana Saburo
Bienvenidos al Norte de Tailandia, entre nubes y nieblas, a 13 km desde la ciudad de Chiang Mai, el destino era el templo de Doi Suthep, encaramado en la montaña, con una posición privilegiada que permitía, con distintos miradores y cuando la niebla se dispersaba, ver el paisaje selvático, con la ciudad al fondo. El ambiente muy caldeado con familias locales, turistas, muchos visitantes y…

Day Twenty-Three, Part Three: A Day in Chiang Mai
The next item on the agenda was a drive up to the Wat Doi Suthep, a temple that is situated on a hill, 3,400 feet high. Our car could only go so far. To reach the summit, you can either take a funicular or climb the 306 steps up to the top. Since it was raining, we opted to take the funicular, which is actually not that much longer of a ride than the Fenelon Place Elevator in Dubuque, “the world’s shortest and steepest scenic railway” … except that this route wasn’t all that scenic: The entire journey takes place in an enclosed tube, so you really don’t see anything until you get to the top. Then, with a thick mist caused by the rain, I didn’t get to see much there, either. You have to imagine the spectacular view of Chiang Mai that would be behind me on a clear day.
The site was chosen when relics of the Buddha were placed on top of an albino elephant. The elephant began to climb the hill, paused twice, but stopped and died at the top. It was thus decided that this would be the site of the temple.
While nominally Buddhist, the temple also honors the Hindu god Ganesha.
This temple is royal, a fact that is signified by the golden “umbrella” behind me:
The atmosphere at the temple is reverent but also festive. One of the monks gave me a blessing,
showering me with numerous droplets of holy water and uttering an incantation that, since it included the English words, “happy, happy, lucky, lucky” seems to have been adapted for my benefit.
No one had been waiting for a blessing when I arrived, but a queue quickly formed.
Apparently, I’d started a trend.
The rain showing no sign of stopping, but I elected to walk down, anyway. One funicular ride was enough.
When I got back to the hotel, the woman who'd led yesterday’s herbal ball project invited me to join in today’s activity: the creation of the long paper flags or streamers known as toongs.
It may be my imagination, but I could've sworn I saw a look of trepidation in her eyes as she asked me to join in. When I politely declined, that look was replaced by one of relief. Good deed for the day, done!

Aujourd'hui, c'est docteur Rathatton, polytraumatisée, qui raconte sa journée. Désolée pour le pavé, j'ai besoin d'exorciser ce que j'ai vécu.
L'objectif était de nous rendre sur le Doi (mont) Suteph, visiter ses bucoliques villages et ses temples fastueux. Pour cela,nous avons décidé de louer (et conduire, à mon grand désarroi), un SCOOTER. Cet appareil charmant est manifestement connu pour sa facilité à manier (cte blague), et le peu de règlementation concernant ses gaz d échappement (combien d'année de vie perdue à avoir respiré autant de pollution...). Comme les glandus de la préfecture mettent 3 ans à faire le permis de conduire d'Aneth, c'est donc sur moi qu'est tombé l'insigne honneur de conduire cette chose. Dans Chiang Mai. Au milieu du périph et d'une horde de Thaïs en furie. Passé le premier temps d'adaptation où j'ai revécu l'ensemble du stress de mes 4 années de thèse condensé en une matinée, j'ai compris qu'au fond, la conduite en Thaïlande était telle que celle que je faisais à Paris en vélo. Les feux rouges sont pour les faibles, priorité pour les plus suicidaires, et les piétons sont une démonstration vibrante de la théorie de la sélection naturelle. Ci dessous, une petite photo de moi même, intérieurement en choc traumatique, dotée du seul casque que j'ai trouvé à ma taille (oui, un casque pour enfant... Sans visière).
Afin de s'initier en douceur à la conduite du véhicule, et après être sortie de la ville, nous avons emprunté la petite route sinueuse de montagne menant au Wat Doi Suthep. Bâti à 1676 m, en 1373, ce temple fut construit sur ce mont en raison du comportement de l'éléphant exténué transportant une relique de Buddha. Celui ci aurait tourné 3 fois sur lui même et barit 3 fois. Je le comprends, j'étais dans le même état.
Par un heureuse coïncidence, nous nous sommes ensuite retrouvées près d'un petit lac tranquille, auprès duquel des étudiants fêtaient leur remise de diplômes. Coutume surprenante, ceux ci portent des écharpes de billets, ou bien des bouquets de fleurs et billets.
Nous nous sommes ensuite dirigées vers le charmant village bucolique, devenu un moins charmant village touristique. Devant descendre pour se rendre au village, j'ai pu constater avec une certaine lassitude (la thèse aide à relativiser beaucoup de choses), que les freins de ce brave scooter n'étaient pas suffisamment puissants pour nous ralentir, et également insuffisants pour nous arrêter. Nous sommes cependant arrivée vivantes, par un coup du sort que je ne m'explique pas. Pendant qu'Aneth faisait une sieste, je me suis rendue à l'évidence. Si je voulais rentrer sur Chiang Mai vivante, et redescendre les 1500 m que nous avions monté, il allait falloir lâcher du lest, ce qui signifiait abandonner Aneth. C'est donc la mort à l'âme que je lui ai confié un petit sac de riz, des jolis cailloux blancs, et lui ai dit d'aller compter les buddhas dans la forêt avant de redescendre seule sur mon scooter vers le soleil couchant.
Pour fêter nos retrouvailles, nous avons dîné autour d'un repas local!
Bilan de la journée : j'ai failli écraser 457 êtres vivants, mais le seul qui s'est montré outré et a sifflé de mécontentement était un serpent de 7m de long en plein milieu de la route.
