Rice Paddies and Springs

Last weekend we went to a friends home town about 2 hours away from Mae Sai. His family grows rice.

Here is a rice paddy in his front yard.


We also went to a natural spring loaded with calcium, it was also a waterfall.


The rocks in the waterfall had become totally covered with calcium from the spring source. You were able to walk up the waterfall because the texture was very porous, almost like walking on very smooth barnacles.

On the way back we stopped at another natural spring. This one piping hot- 90 degrees Celsius. They'd built this guard rail, and there were people selling eggs that you could boil in the water, once you dropped them down in a basket. cool....or hot.
