My girlfriend Naitt was almost crying when we arrived at Thi Lo Su Waterfall. Last time she went there, it had taken two days of rafting and trekking, and was like discovering a new secret place with just four frineds. This time, there were hundreds of tourists. But the next waterfalls were awesome. Heading in to Thi Lo Su From our awesome hillside bungalow, we headed towards Mae Sot and took the... Read Full Entry

I had a macro lens, so had to use it on something

The path to the watefall

The path to the waterfall was over (in our guide's case) and through (in my case) shallow rivlets through one magical glade after another. My camera and I simply couldn't do it justice.

Naitt walking over a log

Our guide didn't even look back when he crossed this log. I guess he's never imagined meeting someone who could be even slightly daunted at the prospect of falling off a log with an expensive camera.

One of the many small waterfalls

There were so many wonderful small pools and waterfalls that I didn't even bother shooting more than a fraction of them.

One of the magical pools

There were no shortage of places to glide into and enjoy the crystal clear water.

Naitt crosses the midlevel

I'm not even sure which level of the waterfall this one is. There must have been 5 or 6 in total.

More pools and showers

Solar power

Each village was given around a million baht as a gift from prime minister Thaksin. This village decided to spend it on solar power panels and lead acid batteries. What an awesome investment. The village now has 24 hour lighting with each house having a 2-panel photovoltaic solar generator (except the headman's house, which has the 5-panel collector pictured and a satellite TV dish). There wasn't any sign of a TV, however.
