Bill Shaneyfelt commented on a photo in Chiang Muan - Phrae

Nice picture!

Don't get the hairs on you... you might get a rash.

That is a tussock moth caterpillar of some kind, but I could not find a good image match .

I usually listen to your advice, Chris, but forget about the coffee-ginger one....

Indeed, Chris. The room, the staircases and the lobby are just wonderful. Doesn´t come out on my other photos unfortunately

NIce memories for me Frank. Chiang Muan is one of those places that I'd like to go back again, mainly because there's no attractions there. Simple cycling, huge teak houses, ficefields, farmland. We had dinner in the front of someone's house. A small stall with 2 tables. Brightest place in town was the new, in 2014, 7/11 opposite a concrete dinosaur !

Squeeze some in to hot black coffee. Tried it in Bali and it'll surely wake you up !

This place has got gorgeous wood. I sort of wandered in during it's construction in 2009.

I must be able to, I don’t remember it being a problem. It might be now, ha.

Can you get comfortable sitting on the ground while eating, Andrea?

Bruce, I did ride up to MSL years ago, but from the east after Mae Chan. A tour group with luggage in a van. So technically that doesn't count.

Huge roads in the north close to Laos, are just waiting for China traffic. Did you see some of the signs, already in Thai, English and Chinese?

But what a great downhill from that checkpoint! I remember it was the perfect grade so that I didn't have to use the brakes at all. And long too. A real treat after the climb. Beautiful country up there.

And here I thought all along that you told us you rode your bike up to Mae Salong. Maybe that was a different year.
