    Hired a driver to take us to the famous waterfalls. Only 24km away but an hour in time, thanks to the potholes. Through hilly country and rice fields. Arrived with not one vehicle in the car park. 🙂. Paid the entrance fee and headed to the waterfalls. Along the way we walked past the Moon Bear and Sun Bear refuge. These bears were caged and used for bile. Horrible. Now at least they have space and peace. Got to the 3 ponds fed by the waterfalls. First in before the crowds arrived. On the way home stopped in to the Buffalo farm. Generally buffalo’s are used for meat. Now locals are trained in using the animals for milk. Had the cheese platter for lunch. DeliciousRead more
