Luckily, the Thai police were on hand to control the unruly mob.

I did for the most part.
The flower expo is famous in CM, is it a boring expo, or were you not into that type of stuff back in your home country?

I love flowers, plants & hugging trees. In America I like going to the arboretum & botanic garden, I can get lost in places like that!

far too manicured, far too sterile.

The night market has all the usual Thai nick-nacks.


We were getting hungry while walking around and decided to eat. Where does this fresh seafood come from?

Corn on the cob did not sound good.


Here we go, fresh deep fried bugs.


Anyone hungry?

Now that we have eaten let's go shopping. Most people have seen these kind of pencils for sale.


Problem is the lead is a little short. Here you can see where the Thais actually color the end.

Some of the hilltribe people peddling their wares. More on them later when we visit the villages.


'Falangs' were everywhere!

Decided to visit the Night Pavilion.


Bought me some new shoes. I don't mind spending money while on vacation.

Various artists were doing what they do best.


These drawings can be fairly expensive!

A CM police volunteer. He didn't really want to have his picture taken so I was in a bit of a rush.


After the usual Thai style American breakfast, the next day started like this. A dead battery.

So everyone pitched in to help push start the van. Well, almost everyone, someone had to capture the moment.


A new battery for B2000 and we were on our way.

Next stop was the Huai Nam Dang National Forest to see some hot water geysers.


We threw a fit and got in by showing our Thai driving IDs. Cost us B20 instead of B400.
