Ken & Charlie Explore Northern Thailand!!

Image
We left Chiang Mai and headed for Mae Hong Son a fairly large town in N.W. Thailand. We had to head S.W. in order to get N.W. as we had to go around and through a large mountain range. Doi Inthanon is over 8,500 ft. high. Here are pics of views along the way. Shots of the hotel we stayed in in Mae Hong Son and the park area. The "Hot Springs" in the area are too hot for soaking in. some are all most 195*. The signs around the springs were interesting and I still have not figured out what some of them mean??? Sites around the area - Sleeping Buddha and cave with stream and fish living inside. Our next stop was the "backpacking village of Pai, which is pronounced Bye!! Lots of neat shops and restaurants to explore. We stayed at the "Quarter" a small botique hotel. From here we visited the waterfalls and temples in the area. Stay tuned for next post as we make our way to Burma and Laos!! Well, at least Charlie got into Burma but I could not go as it would have scr...

"SOMETHING FISHY"

Image
Something fishy - My 1st Thai business venture or should I say, "ADVENTURE"? We left Chiang Mai early Friday morning and headed for Chiang Rai (3 hours). First stop was the outdoor market in Chiang Mai. Lots of "everything" at great prices - seafood of all description, chicken, pork, and lots of fruit some of which I have NO idea what they are!! First pic is of tables full of cut up chicken. hope the health inspector doesn't come around! The red fuzzy fruit stacked up is a Rambutan! Lychee Fruit is in season and they are great just off the tree... The market is huge with lots of Sois (side streets) to explore... On the way to Chiang Rai we stopped and bought mushrooms from an old lady from the local "Hill Tribes". 75 Baht or $2.20 we bought 8 plates of her mushrooms. Lots of mushrooms used in Thai cooking. NOW for my new venture - a "fish farm " raising Nile Tilapia! Nothing to it - a piece of cake or should I say "fishcake??". We b...

THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE

Image
After leaving Pai we head for the Golden Triangle of the "Opium Trade" route. This is where the borders of Thailand, Burma, and Laos all meet! About 45 minutes north of Chiang Rai is the border town of Mae Sai. Route 1 dead ends at the border of Thailand and Burma. The Immigration house straddles the road and once you cross over the bridge you are in Burma or Myanmar.... The Thai flag in Thailand on the left and the Wat or Temple on the right is in Burma.... The bridge leading into Myanmar or Burma. The town of Mae Sai is basically one long street full of "street market" stalls. Not very charming. A lot of Chinese and Burmese people living here. Stayed in an old hotel (once a 5 star) but now old and sort of run-down. But only $25.00 a night!Cute little girl at the sidewalk "Foot Massage". Typical street scenes. Now off to the Golden Triangle with first stop at the Hall Of Opium. This is an educational museum sponsered by the Queen of Thailand. Grea...
