Legend Chiang Rai

... with the hill tribes but hearing it so bluntly really brought it home. It wasn't something that was really discussed whilst we were there with MAD. Apple, the 13 year old who is now 18 is studying in Chiang Rai and Amai is still in the village. Unfortunately I didn't get to see her because she was collecting snails to eat from the river and 'mum' couldn't' find her...<br><br>After we left Leepar we went to our guide's village, 'Appa', and learnt some more about the ...

... set aside every week. The nurse is so 'into it' she almost falls over herself trying to blurt out all the new dialogue. Honestly, it&#8217;s like having a big sponge in your face constantly. Such a hunger to learn. After the lesson they took me to meet &#8216;mama&#8217; and &#8216;grandmamma&#8217;, then drove me miles out to a place that did steaks and bought me a big fat steak ...

... here, and now this village has the best water in the area and the only underground water source. The Lord totally blessed them, and now they even have a water business as well which was one of the leader's dreams. She also dreamt that they would have a center in the city of Chiang Mai, but houses cost about US $60,000 there. Sure enough, God gave them land and a house, and the house actually already had a water ...

... people on the streets and paths, or looking onward from shops and guesthouses, they seemed agast at the "falang" (foreigner) with a stick walking by, especially when local transport and bike hire is cheap! i would get "where you go?". i would reply "pai'. they would openly laugh and point and offer me sympathy for the 5miles to go!!!?? anyway,....... with only 5km to go and many looks form passing motorists, a young man and girl on a moped stopped ...

... Mai which we should really have done the day before. Heading to the bus station and the only tickets left out of Chaing Rai that day are the back seats on the 7:30pm bus. We booked tickets at 4pm and therefore had 3h to kill. Wandering around in the rain didn't appeal so Kim suggested a massage. She loves getting massaged but everytime i've had one it hasn't really done anything apart from be a bit painful for around an hour. Still, with literally nothing ...

... she up 7 Kg and length some body not fat already but change for long more." She is getting bigger really quickly and developing so fast. She smiles a lot now and is really lovely. Most of her fur has fallen off, but not yet all. She is fat, but now starting to loose a little. She loves to try to talk and have a conversation. If not with us, then she loves to talk to her bear. She is just learning to grab things with both arms and bring them to her. She ...

... who made the effort to go that afternoon. After spending 2 nights, it was my decision this time, to take us up to Mae Salong and the home of the Thai-Chinese KMT. Leaving Mae Sai we just took a bus heading south and again just informed the driver the to let us off at the turning for Mae Salong. After waiting so long for full riders, we just simply gave up and paid the full hire fee up to Mae Salong which was like 400 baht. Shin ...

... third day was all walking downhill (as opposed to the day before). We passed a waterfall, a hot-spring and a couple of villages that certainly have learned some commercialism.

Now it looked more like a Swedish forest in October. The hill-tribe people used to walk around in their ...
