Popular Post Assurancetourix Posted April 26, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hi Villagefarang , I was there a few months ago ; now it's close every day from 12 to 1 pm and open only at 9 am in the morning; I think it's a little bit too late. It's like that since a few years ; I thought it was recent ..No ! in february 2012 it was already like that... As we can read often on this forum, " quality tourists " ; they are everywhere in Thailand... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villagefarang Posted May 6, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2015 I thought about doing 70 kms on my bike today but it was just too hot. I ended up doing 55 km which considering the heat and not riding for over a week is probably not that bad. In spite of the heat, it was a beautiful ride with an abundance of flowering trees. Pink and purple are the most common in our area but yellow and bright orange can be seen here and there. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assurancetourix Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) You are right Villagefarang; I did 92 km today; it's too much with these so hot temperatures . Coming back, I stopped many times to have a little rest and drink, drink, even sometimes my water was as hot as the sun outside ... If I go tomorrow, first leaving the house as early as possible ( 05h30 am ) and do maximum 70/80 km so I can come back the house before it's too hot ( beginning between 10 and 10.30 am ) Edited May 6, 2015 by onthedarkside please use the default fonts, thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villagefarang Posted May 16, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2015 This is still one of my favorite shots taken while out on the mtb a couple years ago. It shows some of the best features of the area where I live from a vantage point that was very hard to get to. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I like bamboo for some reason but have to guard it with my life to keep the relatives from eating every shoot that comes up. This year’s shoots are twice a big as last year and they grow really fast if left alone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sceadugenga Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 You get better photos out of your iPhone than I do out of my iPad. I took this at Doi Chaang on Saturday, emailed it to myself and this is the result. I suspect that it's something I'm not doing right rather than the fault of the iPad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villagefarang Posted July 19, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2015 Stopped off at this new temple on the way to Chiang Mai the other day. It is near Mae Suai so still in Chiang Rai, I think. Again these are iPhone shots. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post villagefarang Posted July 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2015 I started seeing Open Billed Storks on my bike rides a year or two ago but only recently have they visited the fields right in front of our house. Always in large groups of maybe 50 to 100 and beautiful to watch in flight. Huge birds and glide like vultures. Without a zoom they are very hard to photograph because they are very skittish and hard to sneak up on. This was the best I could do before they all flew away. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Another stunning evening in Phayamengrai, Chiang Rai. We had to cut our evening walk a little short to avoid the ravages of wind and rain. It sure was beautiful, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villagefarang Posted September 11, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2015 A couple of recent views from the house. Interesting weather we are having these days. Starting to get some burning in the hills too. Probably the result of pruning the Lamyai trees after the harvest, at least in our area. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
