Trekking out of Chiang Dao

shiny stuff

---

this was a mound that was in the cave, not sure what it was but it sparkled. we would have asked our guides if they spoke english

lunch

---

we thought that this was for the 4 of us. but no it was for just us. we never ate a whole meal

bamboo plates

---

for bowls they chopped down a bamboo tree and made these bowls. it was fascinating to watch

the last bridge

---

just across this bridge was our stop for the night....whoo what a walk

river

---

we spent several hours here because no one spoke english and just made us sit at the house

cooling the beer

---

as we said earlier, they drink the beer hot and there was no ice here. so chris decided to cool the beer in the river

bed for the night

---

the matress was as thick as a sheet
