OK, here are some more from our trip round the North of Thailand...

Hight-tech weaving


Visiting the long-neck Karen tribes near Mae Hong Son - a mixed experience as we weren't sure how much the women themselves were profiting from the entry fees paid by visiting tourists - felt a bit like visiting a human zoo. We bought handicrafts from them though, so they could at least profit from our visit in that way.


Once we turned a corner and came face to face with this... thankfully we were driving slowly and carefully so no problems for us.


The roads had recently been improved for most of the loop so made for enjoyable driving - the old parts were full of pitholes though, so we were thankful for the road work going on


Sunset in Mae Sariang - a small and quite village in stunning surroundings


Rice farming is the main source of income in this rural area

So, must stop and get some dinner before everything closes - it's our last evening in Cambodia today, off to Vietnam on the Mekong river tomorrow morning.
