About this... well, we were going up a steep mountain and my gas tank was emptying quicker than normal (since there were two of us on it, and going up a mountain) so Fawn generously offered to walk up the rest, or until I was able to find some gas at the top and come back down for her. But she was picked up along the way by this nice Thai family from Chiang Mai.
What a view!
Doi Angkahn- (Angkahn Mountain).
We finally made it up to the top. This area used to be deforested and used for opium poppy growth, but now the Princess Mother reforested it and its now an organic farming area with a great restaurant with fresh veggies just picked from the gardens!
On a new route down the mountains they still use small horses for transport.
And they have the sasquatch here too. We caught it on film.
Little Thai Switzerland.
Tha Ton, a city.
A wat on top of a mountain in Tha Ton, even the dog is at peace.
Another view from Tha Ton wat.
Grazing water buffalo.
Our favorite elephant!!!!! She's 6 months old and really likes to play and runs really fast, and farts like a music box.
Fawns wish come true- hugging an elephant.
I love her too!
And of course a trip to Thailand wouldn't be complete without seeing some baby monkies!
These monkies live just 20 min away from school along the same mountain range.
After the monkey caves climb up to the actual caves.
Look out at the top.
Doi Wow, in Mae Sai
Fawn- watch out for forest fires.
Ma Fa Luang Gardens just 40 mins from Mae Sai- this place also used to be poppy fields for opium. not any more!!!! ha ha ha Ps, i'm under a man made waterfall.
Real coloring! wow.
more manicured gardens.
