Chinese style Buddhist Wat and school east of Mae Chan

It has been awhile since I've driven to this place. Have they finished all the building work there! The place is on huge.

Hi Gary,

Yes, it appears to be complete as there are no signs of construction. From what I understand, it is a school for novices but in more the Chinese style. The students wear the orange robe but shorter and with orange, fill length pants as well. Looks more like orange kungfu garb actually. Anyway, a very interesting site and worth a look-see.

Went for a drive out past Doi Hang today and were much surprised to see a new Mae Kok bridge.

We stopped at the temple associated with the prominent limestone outcrop near the prison.

I'm still not sure how to get to the top, the way we tried lead to a cave.

A new building blights the landscape nearby.

My friends GPS informed us that we could continue on the northern side of the river from the new bridge to Fang, a distance of 135km so we left it for another day.

A lot of netting activity at the lake this morning, the fishermen had set up a small camp and seemed to be taking it seriously.

That's Wat Doi Khong Khao

[sceadugenga]

Indeed, that's what it said on the GPS but because I never made a note I'd forgotten by the time I got home.

I found villagefarang's first mountainbike somewhere up in a Karen village. He must have donated it to the good cause.

[villagefarang]

Here are a couple shots I took pond side before taking off on the bike, without my camera.

We went for a drive along the Mekong today.
