Visiting Francis and Denise while recovering from jetlag! A lovely few days enjoying the sunshine, stocking up on local clothes for the hot weather and sampling the food and drink. Everything very reasonably priced and plentiful. Markets great fun even for a non- shopper. See individual comments for each photo.En savoir plus

Jour 19
Elephant Park
29 janvier 2016, Thaïlande ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
We all wonder how these magnificent animals are treated in captivity. My own feeling is that the Thai people love their elephants and would not harm them. Indeed some of these animals definitely had a twinkle in their eyes.

Chiang Rai Thailand

Still further North near the "golden triangle" where opium poppies are grown in the Thai, Burma, Laos border area. All a bit simpler, more basic and poorer.

Jour 23
Chiang Rai - White Temple
2 février 2016, Thaïlande ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
An amazing modern temple (Wat Rong Khun) designed by a famous Thai architect (Chalermchai Kositpipat), who happened to be born here. This project is being used to generate local employment and revive traditional skills. He has spent over 40 million Thai baht on it so far and is hoping for immortality so the stakes are high. And it's wonderful too!En savoir plus

Mekong River trip (1)
3 février 2016, Thaïlande ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Journey down river started on the Friendship Bridge joining Thailand and Laos. Judging by the convoluted border controls this is a new definition of friendship!? Boat was basic but went surprisingly fast. We were 27 people for 45 places so a bit of room to move about.En savoir plus
