Yesterday we arrived at Mae Hong Son - again very different; much more nature.No internet at the hotel and last shuttle back to the hotel was at 22h, so not possible to put something here yesterday (sorry for the addicts ;-)
After lunch and meeting our new guide for the next 2 days (totally different style) we visited the Wat in the center of Mae Hong Son (Birmese style).
To end the tour of the first day we saw a fish cave and just before dark saw some Wat in the hills.
Check-in in the (very nice) hotel and dinner in the village followed by a little walk at the night market.
Today we woke up with a lot of enthusiasm for our drive on the elephants and it certainly was worth it. Once there was a bit more sun, a long tail speedboat trip on the river Pai between Birma and Thailand.
Very unique encounter with the Padong tribe (Long neck Karen). Girls born on a Full Moon Wednesday get a golden collar (now glass/copper) around the neck every 2 years.
And the Long ear Karen
We visited the Chinese refugee camp and saw a nice waterfall, ... these pictures will be for later ...
