Our first day of hiking from Ban Pa Ko Lo to Ban Hooah Naam Mae Hong Son involved over twenty stream crossings. This one was my favorite. Nuzzled in between two towering walls of rock, it is through a stream that rages waist deep in rainy season and then over an improvised bridge (a trunk of a tree and some bamboo).
As we entered Ban Hooah Nam Mae Hong Son, we spotted (it was hard not to spot, I suppose) a small herd of water buffalo finding shade underneath one of the village houses. This one buffalo in particular seemed rather interested in the influx of backpack-carrying farang.
A beautiful, misty, cool morning in Hooah Naam.
Mid-day heat relaxation (sabai time).
A towering and gargantuan tree, with its roots ripping through rock. Though the name of the species has since fled from memory, the tree was taller than most houses and had the most impressive roots I've ever marvelled at.
Beautiful pictures
