Doi Suthep

So today I rented a motorcycle (Honda Click) for about $5. I put about $2 worth of gas in it and set off up the nearest mountain.

One of the first things I came to was a rather grand temple. The stairs alone were rather imposing.

Next I arrived at the winter palace. There were some fun buildings and fun gardens, but most of it was in maintenance mode. There was some HUGE bamboo.

Next I hiked my way to the highest point in the Mountain Range. Blue Sky On the way up I was mainly working on getting there. On the way down (following the same trail) I saw all kind of cool flowers and fungi.

The next stop was some waterfalls. On all these trails I saw no people. It was kind of cool. I also, after awhile, realized it was kind of dangerous. I saw snakes, and rocks to twist ankles on, but I saw no one to go get help.

    I’ll have to try that hike. Looks like fun. Maybe I’ll take someone along though.

    Lets see if your brother the resident biologist might be able to do a little botany ID. what kind of bamboo is that? Would my backyard bamboo, the attraction of all the little boys in a three block radius (they even steal it sometimes), grow that big if we had enough water? and if the little boys left it alone?

    Thanks for sharing the pics of the hike.

    It is wonderful to experience a part of Thailand from 17268.

    My adult class continues to pray for you weekly.
