Lots of rain; think 'waterfalls'.

So I took Russ McD and his wife Dawn out to Mork Fah waterfall today.

The usual snack at the excellent Pankled (according to owner, pronounced 'Pankrit') Coffee stop.
As usual, lots of colourful things to look at.

That yellow building in the background is new and deserved a closer look afterwards.

The road from Pankled into the waterfall is soon to present us all with a new bridge.

And also near the waterfall's ticket office.

New Thai license shown to the pretty lady and 20 baht entrance fee paid.

The pleasant walk to the waterfall ....

... which, predictably, was raging.

Then back to that yellow building at Pankled.

The pleasant and busy owner had never heard of 'roast lamb'.
Now he has.

He's also diversified a bit more.

So, in a few years time, we'll be able to enjoy a glass of red with our Tom Yum Goong.

We called in to the old Wat Ta Kham to inspect their 200 year old paintings ...
(No flash photography allowed).

... and their bee colony.

We noticed many side tracks between here and there which I'll investigate during the week.

Nam Tok Mork Fah never disappoints.
 
Khun Pin, put this one on your itinerary.

Thanks NR70.

Yes, Dawn loved it.
But not the full 'Farang' entrance fee after I had paid only 20 baht!
However, she didn't have to pay 500 baht to arrive into the country!
 
Good pics as always mate. When did you take me and Steve there , was it last year or the year before? 100_1063.jpg
 
I think we found that Pankled was the sound of bugs falling out of a tree at night onto a tin roof. couldn't get much sleep last night due to my roof getting pankled.100_1059.jpg
 
Hope to be in CNX soon , Soon as cuts and bruises have gone and PCX is looking better but may well turn up in Toyota Viros, as Pim says if I go to CNX on scoot I will go with more bruises than I have right now. Charming, bloody charming.100_0770.jpg
