Thread: A drive into town.

Payamengrai - take a right at ban taa on the main highway from chiang khong to thong. You probably dont come this side of the mountain chain that runs along the highway seperating your little shangra-la from the rest of us.

JJ probably seperated from mankind.

Who would not want to drop out of the rat race if they could.

Ok found it. Yes we're on the other side of that range and up north.

worth coming over this way when you get the chance. Let me know if you're in the area, the fridge is generally full.

Great pics as usual, JJ!!

Most kind.

Tend to stay up late, mate. It's quiet and peaceful. Good time to read and so on.

Yes, I may come your way next week. I need to get out ;-)

when is a good day and time for you ?

Jubby

Monday is a no no.

Wednesday, Thursday no worries. Time is up to you? I'm not brilliant at early mornings though.

Let me know what you want to do.

^ Why is Monday a no no?

^ It must be that time of the week

Wednesday then , weather permitting. .... weather permitting ! - what am I on about, its unlikely to rain now until April ;-)

I was thinking about doing a bit of exploring on the motorbike. Don't see much from a pickup. need to get a decent map of Chiang Rai area. As I said before I was up a mountain not far from me. Doi Yao , I think its called. nice views to pu chi faa and north east, this is probably your valley. Not sure wether I'm going to go over the mountain or up the main road towards chiang Kong. probably best taking the main road first time.

I'll pop round for a chat. You can fill me in on what goes on in and around Chiang Kong. I usually avoid it like the plague (nice immigration there - NOT !) . I Won't stay long, don't want to take up too much of your time and I'm used to being back before the kids get home from school. I'm very domesticated these days ... I will have a small beer with you though ;-)

Hi JJ.

Can't PM you, I have to have 20 posts or something before I'm allowed.
As you have approx 20,000 posts , maybe if you PM me I can then respond

done.

Couldn't respond either. guess I'll have to throw in 15 posts quickly somewhere. here's one now. I'll call you on the bush telegraph after I've had a coffee .

Are you still heading this way tomorrow, Wednesday?
I've lost your phone number.

Yeah if your available.
