Rob8891 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 @ draggons....Your shots of Kwang Si are SO much better than mine. We went ther at Songkran and it was impossible to get a decent shot...and even more impossible to set up the tripod! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draggons Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 There is a strong French colonial influence here.....not to mention excellent coffee and croisants! A great spot for breakfast. I remember there being some nice cakes in that place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rob8891 Posted June 2, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2014 We climbed to the top of "Mount Phousay"... the 'mount' is about 400 steps high, depending on from which side one attacks it... The whole area is a temple. On the way up, we caught these guys skiving off. I wish the shutter had been silent...they all nearly suffered whiplash! A surprise at the highest point of the temple... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob8891 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 The view from the top. 1 over the Mekong, 2 over the Mae Nam. It was a pity the scene was still so hazy from burning....but could have been worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob8891 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 During Songkran, there were big street parades involving people from all walks of life. It seemed every section of society was represented (and soaked to the skin!) People and their pickups, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob8891 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Like draggons, we went to Kuang Si falls. They are spectacular, but as it was Songkran, there were hundreds of people there, picnicing, swimming and generally getting in the way. First one has to dodge assorted buffalo on the road... ...then duck all the kids lying in wait with water, until you join the crowds trying to enter the falls...

Popular Post Rob8891 Posted June 2, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2014 ..then of course one has to elbow, jostle and almost fight for the spot to take a picture of the Kuang Si falls. At least the bears at the rescue center didn't seem to mind the crowds. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
