More Mae Salong

 7.22.12

We woke up early to visit the Sunday morning market suggested by our Lonely Planet guide. It was exciting to see the locals getting up to sell and buy fresh produce, items for the home, toys, and clothes.

 

Delicious fried dough with hot soy milk. Mmm mm mm it was a great breakfast!

We were anxious to make it back to Thaton early, so we made our way back to our villa across the mountainside. I could get used to these views!!

We said goodbye to our little bungalow and set off for home!

These double doors were just locked with a padlock..sketchy?

One last look across the mountain to the temple

Jungle Bungalow=Jungalow

We had no idea when the song tao was going to come up the mountain so we could head home, so we explored the town and sampled some herbal tea at a little tea shop. We bought some jasmine tea, since it was the obvious souvenir from Mae Salong.

We caught the song tao home with enough time to settle back in for our last work week with HELP International before heading on a week-long vacation to Phuket and then home. Bittersweet, to say the least.

Song taos are usually very crowded so we had to take advantage of the photo op!

Best birthday weekend ever :)
