Images Of Chiang Rai

[Garry]

While I am here, thank you Garry for pushing me over 3000.

Didn't I give you the push over 2000 as well? Just confidence mind you as I wasn't looking for it

Riding through the hills of Phaya Mengrai.

I like all your photos VF, but more so this one

That is very interesting. I actually posted this one as an afterthought. I thought it might be too cluttered and flat, because of the cloud cover, but it is getting a fairly good response on Google+, as well. I ride past this area on one of my regular bike routes.

That is actually what I like about it, being more to see in the image. Don't get me wrong, as I like your open shots but images with more going on appeal to me as well

We all bring our own perspective to life.

The red clay? Color running through the middle is what does it for me. Sets up a nice contrast.

Wat Rong Khun http://static.thaivisa.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/smile.png

It is said that the abbot of the temple built it exactly according to what he saw after visiting the heaven.

Strange it was designed by a very rich local artist. The abbot came along long after it was built.

My wife and I met the designer of the Wat a few years back and she had her photo taken with him. I took the photo. He showed us a lot of drawings and future plans.

Buddhist heaven???

That iron rich red clay isn’t everywhere but there is a lot of it in the hills. Hard packed and smooth it is a great riding surface, but muddy and rutted it, makes for slow going and a very messy ride.

The guy is a genuine promoter. I wonder if there is anyone who hasn’t met him while visiting his tourist attraction. He sure put the little village of Rong Khun on the map.

Did not look down going over the bridge?

Another lovely day in Phaya Mengrai, after days of rain. Taken today with my new camera.

Why would you say that.!?

He is the one in the blue clothes. I think the other guy is a business partner

With my wife

edit: I thought better of this and deleted this photo from public view

I waited nearly 10 minutes for this photo, so that no one was in the shot. I used a little Sony Cybershot P100 for the photo. Not a great photo quality wise, but better than nothing and this was several years ago, as I have upgraded since then

Thanks mate, but pure coincidence, as it was taken several years ago as I mentioned earlier

I was just about to say "see, I told you it was p....ing down out at my place on Saturday" as well.

The flat open lands of Phaya Mengrai.

Found this guy out on the trail yesterday and thought him rather cute.

[villagefarang]

Thought I might post something green for garry.

[villagefarang]

More from the trail.
