I don’t know, Samuijimmy seems to find some nice material down south. There are some great threads running in the photography forum at the moment.

The Kok River, downstream and past the sluice gates, bears little resemblance to the lake like still waters under the main bridge, during the dry season.

I suppose I should include the sluice gates as well.

From atop Doi Yao one can look west and almost make out Chiang Rai in the hazy distance. In the foreground are the fields and villages of Phaya Mengrai where I live.

From atop Doi Yao one can look can look east toward Phu Chi Fa and watch an ever-changing patchwork of color as the local people clear and cultivate the landscape below.

At a different time of year, or by just driving down the road a few kilometers, the view can change dramatically. Roughly in the center of the image under the cloud, one can make out the distinctive notch of Phu Chi Fa. Unfortunately it is seldom clear enough to see such a sight.

Of course no collection of Chiang Rai images, or Thailand for that matter, would be complete without a picture of rice farming. This was taken out in front of our house.
