Chiang Mai Gurdwara

We went looking for this Sikh Temple and just couldn't find it.
Then, a day before we were about to leave Chiang Mai we met a sikh family dining at an Indian restaurant - Dr Sarin and his wife Dr Savita. Their dad was a very fit 92 year old whose wife was a Thai lady. We were told that she was quite the looker in her day, and she still looked stunning for her age (we didn't ask her age). They wrote the exact directions in Thai so that the tuk tuk driver would have no trouble finding it.
As we were leaving the next day, we had to wake up extra early in order to visit the gurdwara before the bus left for Pai.
The gurdwara is currently undergoing major construction - which explains why we couldn't find it the first time.
Always so nice to go to a gurdwara. While travelling we hardly get the chance to see any sikh temples.
We even had a lovely langar (breakfast) at the gurdwara.
