Chang Rai

The day after geting back from the trek, I headed north to Chang Rai. At the bus station I met Jes (NZ) and we hung around together for a couple of days. We hired a couple of 125cc motorbikes and explored the countryside around the city. Our first destination was this small waterfall about 19 Km from Chang Rai.





One of the guys running the guest house told of this 100 metre high hill that had a large golden Buddha right at the top and some great views...we eventually found it.

If this hill were anywhere in Ireland, there'd be GAA teams running/crawling up and down it everyday. It was a tough climb but the views were amazing, as promised. We could, supposedly, see the mountains of both Myanmar(Burma) and Laos. And yes, that is copious quantities of sweat oozing from my every pore, glistening in the late afternoon sun!
