590 Paholyothin Road Chiang Rai, Thailand, 5371-1339
Back on the boat at 7:30am to continue the journey up the Mekong in our riverboat. Great scenery, but a very long day with another terrible lunch. We stopped at a little village and walked around, feeling a bit intrusive. If the hill tribe trek was anything like this, count me out. We finally arrived at the Lao border around 4:30pm, just before they closed it! Phew. We all had to get off the boat, do the process ourselves (something about the tour company or boat company causing problems rece...
Chiang Rai, Thailand benbethelArrived in Chiang Rai yesterday via an almost adequate bus -- it had air conditioning at least in the beginning, but was still pretty hot and smokey. The Thais and Burmese are having fun burning some of the countryside so the skies are pretty cloudy and dark. Visibility is about 1 mile if that (more like 100 yards on a good day). Late afternoon the sun appeared as a big orange ball but by the time Doug retrieved the camera some clouds appeared and covered most of the sun. He was gone less ...

Chiang Rai, Chiang Rai, Thailand 9kosol... attempting to access the crab. Jon Roberts swallowed it whole. Twice. We were then given a demonstration in constructing various items, including a baseball hat and a Frisbee, from bamboo furthering our belief that they can make anything with bamboo. We then returned to the village via the now swollen waterfall. Unfortunately nobody fell in. The afternoon was spent playing poker and ...
Chiang Rai, Thailand tauntonschool... i pointed out to the waitress that there was an ant in my rice. any normal situation (unless in asia of course), there would be apologies,the manager ionvolved and the promise of a free meal and much grovelling to the unhappy customer. instead she rooted around in the rice with her finger and gave chase to the intruder in my food. she finally caught it and was so proud of herself and looked at me as to say "dig in my good man, for this food is now ...
Malysia to North Thailand (Chiang Rai), Thailand danhobson... draped soaking tub or Thai massage platform. An undisputed highlight of a guest's stay would have to be a visit to the elephant camp. Set within the resort's lush bamboo forest, the camp is home to thirty elephants. The animals are cared for by their local mahouts (drivers) and English-born resident Director of Elephants, John Roberts who is also a qualified mahout himself. On an on-going basis, Roberts works closely with the Thai government's Elephant Conservation ...
Chiang Rai, Thailand rueng84... This made it impossible for them to deal with all of the corpses before the decay began. People told us that they need mosquito nets, blankets and household equipment such as pots and knives as well as agricultural tools, which were destroyed in the cyclone. They told us that they received very little aid so far. They only received some clothes and food from monks. The government came and provided only 5kg of rice per person. There was not enough to ...
Chiang Rai, Thailand paul... must also mention the food; you can keep your American breakfast (clearly a hang over from the R&R breaks in Thailand of troops in the American War), the highlight of the menu in Baan Bua is the home made yoghurt. It is easily the best I've tasted since Turkey and they are even better at it than the Greeks; laced with honey it is superb, mixed with home made muesli it is a feast fit for a king and the portions served by Faun are large enough to satisfy any trencherman ...
Chiang Rai, Chiang Rai, Thailand worldlywanderer... just below the knee. I'm not too sure of that, however I suppose one would 'get use to it' - referring to the weight and feel of such foriegn objects on a persons body. I wondered the same about the large earing hilltribe women and asked it their ears felt pain as, to me, they appeared so over-stretched. They, too, suggested that there was no discomfort in the jewelry that adorned their earlobes. In fact, the one lady popped her silver earing out of her ear and allowed ...
