VillageFarang...Daily life in Thailand and what I see

[villagefarang]

I live 50 kilometers east of Chiang Rai and my main camera is an older NEX-6 but these days I am more likely to have my iPhone in my pocket. I don’t take photography seriously but like to share images of the world as I see it. I thought I would start with where I live and spread out from there. This is the best image I have of our house and pond.

[villagefarang]

This is my view from the house, at least part of the year, but it is an ever-changing view.

[villagefarang]

This is Tat Khwan Waterfall, the nearest to our home, a little under 20 km away.

[villagefarang]

This is our local reservoir and yacht club roughly 3 km away.

[villagefarang]

Our nearest river is the Ing, maybe 2 km away and the bike is one of my favorite modes of transportation in this area.

Beautiful photos please keep them coming.

This is our nearest mountain top, Phaya Phi Phak Forest Park, currently being developed. It looks down on our valley on to the west and over a valley to Phu Chi Fa to the east.

Looking west.

Looking east in the direction of Phu Chi Fa.

A couple of shots taken at Phu Chi Fa.

Khun Korn Waterfall the highest in Chiang Rai. Not to far from town and popular with tourists and local alike.

[villagefarang]

Wat Rong Khun or the White Temple, also in Chiang Rai.

Stunning images (that mountain road!). Thailand really is a beautiful country. I miss the north.

Beautiful place! Lovely photos. Not my idea, though, of "the ideal". Glad you have made it home.

Thanks again for the sharing

Hi VF - wonderful photos and great area - - a well deserved prosperity for you to be in such a great locale. Our village is not nearly as scenic, but family is family. Our nearest waterfall is 40 minutes away... I have a friend working in a village, I think near Phu Chi Fah and hope to visit her there soon.

Thanks for sharing the photos - looks great.

Always loved Chiang Rai. Would love a Rai or 2 in your area.

Do you have any prices?

Looks brilliant and inviting who needs pattaya or bangkok for views
