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

[Assurancetourix]

Great shots villagefarang, as usual ;

Maybe, I write maybe because I'm not living alone and my wife doesn't like so much our six dogs ,

so maybe I can go to your province and especially Phu Chi Fa mountain - there is a photo about it just up , post 53 first photo ?- which is not very far from your amphoe mext month, in may 2016 .

Hope I can go with my MTBike ; I think 4 days from Sawang Daen Din to Phayao if I don't stop too often for shooting everywhere, especially in the mountain between Phrae and Phayao ;

In Phrae i think I will sleep in the hotel downtown where is the museum of Free-Thai;

I went there many times already;

or a 24/24 on the main rd ..

I will see .

That is a one rai pond we dug to build up the area we built the house on. Our golden retriever keeps her pet fish in there and swims with them once each week. Our view from the house is actually the second photo.

We keep both dogs and cats.

I think she is around eight but I am not good with birthdays. I usually underestimate the ages of our animals and I still think of her as a puppy.

I really enjoyed looking at your photos, thanks for sharing them

8 years old and looks happy and healthy... How often your GR will swim in the pond? I can't imagine I have to bath my dog everyday if he swims with his fish everyday...haha

It was like this last year.

All the pictures are great and your view from the house is idyllic. Thanks for taking the time to post them.

We only let her swim once a week. Half-hour swim, half-hour for a good thorough cleaning and then about the same to blow-dry all that hair. It is a lot of work so once a week is all we can handle. She goes absolutely crazy when she realizes it is time to swim.

Never seen a wild rabbit here. We do have snakes and rats though.

Thanks for the photos, really beautiful!

I am not a morning person so I don’t see many sunrises but I seldom miss a sunset. Walking the dogs at sunset, some days are more dramatic than others, but it is always a highpoint of my day.

This is the worst part of the year when we are blessed with hellacious heat and thick suffocating smoke. Everyone is just hoping for the rainy season to begin so we can breath again.

I think both the cats are the real owner of the house...

Lovely photos Village Farang. Brings back memories of a trip to north Thailand a couple of years ago. Very scenic and peaceful with changes of terrain and seems to be a great area to live and relax. I did visit the Royal Villa and border station picture looks familiar. Was frequently stopped by checkpoints in those areas as close to the border but never any issues. A very interesting place to visit which is quite unlike other tourist venues is the Hall of Opium outside Chiang Rai. Another impression was that all land seemed to be farmed in some manner and surprised to see corn grown in very mountainous areas as harvesting would be difficult and only by hand.

Two views from the top of Buffalo Hill in Chiang Rai.

Beautiful pictures. Plenty of water about and no smoke. North Thailand heaven.
