I love the green colours this time of the year.

It is the most beautiful time of year in my opinion.

I found this shot interesting, looking into the sun. After the new tea leaves have been picked the rows are so symmetrical and rounded, it makes for a beautiful sight. Hard work for eight baht per kilo in the hot midday sun.

About 0.07% of the price the tea will sell for. Nice looking tea though. I do not think they have any I like to drink though as I prefer the way they make tea in Dargeling. Seems it was a nice day out.

Yes it was a lovely day. It was nearly 100 km to the Mae Suay turnoff, heading up Doi Chaang. After coming down, we stopped at Charin for a little lunch and pie. Came back on the old Chiang Mai road, stopping at the local animal park or zoo, and passing Casa el Scea before arriving at Rai Boon Rawd. From there it was getting late, so we headed straight home.

It was interesting how some of the tea pickers made it look like a walk in the park, while others made it look much harder.

Perhaps it will become the “hub” of something. Not sure how good they are at marketing, as it seems to be an ever evolving property, drifting from one focus to another. Hopefully they will find their niche, as it really is a beautiful setting.

Could become the hub of image spotting from the cloud formations.

In your photo posted in #277, I can see a lion, a bird in full flight and a man and a woman, both in dark clothing.

I'll have some of whatever you had too.

Here is another mountain top view from the drive up Doi Chaang.

Awesome VF.....out of likes but full of admiration

[villagefarang]

Surprised this guy, fishing at the waterfall. Pretty sure it isn't legal, so I gave him a bit of a shock when I came around the corner.

[villagefarang]

Another shot of Tat Khwan Waterfall today.

[sceadugenga]

What's the access like VF?

Much of a climb?

[villagefarang]

It isn’t steep but it is slippery. The trail is damp and covered in moss and slick clay. With some kind of trail shoe and a walking stick for balance it shouldn’t be a problem. The rocks at the falls are tricky and the bamboo bridges and walkways have been washed away and not replaced yet. Shot of the trail below.

The first 15 km from my place is small village roads with a fair number of potholes. The last three kilos is a single lane dirt track but no problem for a truck. I have driven there before and there was a truck up there on the trail today.

That ATV guy takes tours there, but he comes from the 1173, while I come in from the 1174 side.

[sceadugenga]

Nice, the 3km walk would be enjoyable anyway.

The actual walk is only around 300 or 400 meters, from the end of the dirt road. Much of the dirt road looks like this but part of the time it skirts the reservoir.

When you finally reach the park there is this lane leading to the grassy parking area.

That is quite a shot Scea!

I stopped by Chiang Rai's floodgates yesterday on the way home. I was unlucky and the sun went behind a cloud while I was there but it was still beautiful.

[villagefarang]

Here is the other side. The water has gone down quite a bit from last week.

[villagefarang]

Okay, one more but without the manmade structures. A beautiful and peaceful place and the fishermen were quite pleasant, even though their catch was meager.

[sceadugenga]

Lam Yai season.

[harrry]

Near home.

That playground almost beats my youth time haunt of the Yarra River in Heidleberg Australia. We did not have a great waterslide like that just cliffs and trees to jump off.
