Where Bob Is ....

After we left Chiang Mai last Friday, Bob made his way out of Chiang Mai. He described the place as a little like Janda Baik -- remote but very clean farm stay concept. The drive up was a bit of a nightmare as it was uphill and off road but interesting never the less. It was a way to head to Chiang Rai through smaller village road.

The next day he headed through remote roads along the Thailand-Myanmar border but had to turn back halfway cause they realised they were in the army restricted zone. He stopped at an almost dead town, Tha Ton, by the Mekong River where you could see Myanmar across..

He took the opportunity also to visit the Akha and Yao tribes on the mountain Doi Mae Salong which was described as interesting. And the weather was cold -- 10 to 12 degrees. I believe he is in Chiang Rai tonight. He complained of some car problems but am not sure how major they are. He is also unsure if the car can make it back!

I may not have got all this down in exact chronology. Guess we have to wait for him to come back!
