Here's Dancelot fishing on Samui.... he came up empty handed....

[samuijimmy]

Excellent! Drunk a lot is quite appropriate too ... I thought of changing his name to that ... (not too bad though!)

I will show DAL this in the morning..... he's not got his laptop! I now he'll have a good laugh at that....

Here is a water scene in Chiang Rai. Yesterday was hot and many people were enjoying the cool refreshing waters of Khun Korn Waterfall.

This water wheel is interesting Fred, what is that used for?

[samuijimmy]

A lake and marsh area in Maenam area of Samui, DAL and I discovered last week.... Near Lomprayah ferry turning... off ring road...

I checked it out more today, more that meets the eye! (no luck with the fish! )

Those clouds looked like they would bring rain, but it has not happened at least yet!

Its hard to scoop water with paddles

Even harder with nothing to catch water .... interesting though, I am sure it has a purpose ..... perhaps aerating water?

You could take the location off My Map.

If you look closely at the outer ring you may see small scoops that collect the water and then at the top of their circular path they pour that small amount of water into a bamboo pipe which takes the water to where they need it. It doesn’t move a large volume of water but it does work. I remember seeing one in Pai, along the river. Maybe I can find the picture.

[villagefarang]

Here you go. Maybe this will show how it works.

What would you say to a newbie VF , i have to choose between Pai an Chang Rai for my last trip.

[villagefarang]

I would say visit both.

Edit:

I think Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai act as main destinations from which to visit surrounding areas. Pai and Mae Hong Son are often side trips for those who visit Chiang Mai. From Chiang Rai one might visit Mae Salong, The Golden Triangle, Chiang Khong, Phayao or even Nan.

It all depends on what ones interests are.
