Thailand is blessed with a great number of beautiful landscapes in delightful light. Above a small bridge during our bike tour outside Bangkok. Elsewhere a ox car with which we made a very bumpy ride through a marvelous landscape. Shooting a nice video is quiet difficult under these circumstances. Luckily we stand still now and then. On the video we have shots from some members of our group, whose almost topple over with there car. Resistance with might and main prevent a disaster. We visited a couple of splendid gardens. On a orchid farm they had all kind of beautiful trees too. We lunched on the road to the north in a garden with nice flowers, skimmed trees and a mysterious forest. The static photo of the spoonbill near by isn't as spectacular like the video...
The last days in the north we visited several theme parks. Beside the elephants we visited a farm with buffaloes in a beautiful landscape. All kind of old-fashioned tools, paddle wheels and runs with buffaloes were demonstrated. Buffaloes aren't very exiting, but the boys try as hard as possible. They ended with race between three buffaloes. The guitar play on the back of an enormous buffalo was very special, but terrible for the ears. The landscape around the farm is splendid with the nice ochre color of houses and fields with in the background the greenery. A farmer was busy with plough and planting of rice. Very romantic... You can see, that this piece of land is the best cultivated of the whole country.
We spent some days near the Burmese border. There we visited the giraffe women and long ears. We lunched somewhere with a beautiful view over the river All the time there passed boys wading and fishing through the river. We stayed in resort that high above the sea level, that we don't missed the air co. A few days we stay in some cottages around the swimming pool and did almost nothing. Once I ended fully clothed in the swimming pool. Beneath the bridge nearby. We crossed them once. On the other site there are the fields, where people are working the whole of the day. Afterwards they go back to their houses over this bridge. He is almost impassable...
