(Part 1)
As part of a ride around the north I called into Chiang Saen to experience the 'Nine Tribes Festival'.
I rode out to the venue on Friday 4th January late afternoon, a day before the event actually commenced, just because I wanted to 'get a feel' for the area and the people. So glad I went early too.
The Festival is at Ban Huai Nam Yen.
This is how to get there;
From Chiang Saen Police Headquarters, go 14 kms along #1129 to this junction ...
... then another 7 kms through beautiful country ...
... just past the sign that says 'Ban Huwai Nam Yen' ...
... to this steep climb on the right.
The flat hill-top area was being prepared when I arrived.
Being the only 'Farang' there, I was treated to some wonderful hospitality and knew that Saturday 5th would be something special.
It was!
