Before leaving Chiang mai we decided to explore the area. The kids voted for the Monkey Center. I wanted to go go-kart racing but the prices were crazy, so here we go...


The primates were everywhere.



Not worth going to.

On the way to our next accomodation we happen to stop by a local strawberry wine moonshine operation.


This is where the strawberries are grown right behind the stalls.

The locals were friendly and the wine was cheap. About B120 per bottle.

Another waterfall. After awhile they all look the same...


Kayaking, anyone? Tours can be arranged for 'falangs'.

Doing what the hillbilly does best. Except for the fact that about 1/2 dozen kids are running around.


The sunset is great.


I liked the mornings...

Normally, I do not really support a resort. However, this one is special. It is located on about 40 acres along side the Pai River in Amphur Pai.

84-84/1 Moo 2 Tambon Mae Hee
Amphur Pai, Mae Hong Song

Tomorrow looks like to be a specially exciting day!

These natural hot springs are a delight.


We decide to head out and as luck would have it, we hit another Thai nik-nak stall...

Personally, I would avoid the local bus service.
