For the Thai new year, which is also a country-wide water fight, Laura and I went to Chiang Mai in the north, then to the West, to Kampaeng Pet where my Thai boyfriend lives, then further west to Mae Sot, on the Thai Burma border. Here's a pic of the Pa-o temple (a minority in Burma) in Chiang Mai.
A shot of Kampaeng Pet by Laura. It is what Thais call "baan nok".... something like red-neck country life. Indeed. During new years these boys would get up at like 6: 30 am like it aint no thing and start drinking. drink all day. go to bed at like 2 am. Then do it again.
We went to this waterfall with boyfriend and family....I'm the small red-skirted one on the right.
This is Nee. She is the best thing ever.
During election times, trucks like these are used to go around and shout about various candidates. During off times, the trucks just go around blasting music, then they hook up the kareokee and its a rolling party. They start at 6:30 am.
In Mae Sot.... the water fight was in full force. Avoiding water barrages is impossible. I can't believe Laura managed to get this pic without getting douched.
