#HakkaLimsRnRInThailand2017 - Day2 (Con't)

After lunch, we took a half hour journey uphill, to visit Mae Fah Luang Garden, which is part of the Doi Tung Development project.   The patron of this project was the late Her Royal Highness Princess Srinagarindra, the grandmother of the present King of Thailand.  The garden is next to the villa which was her last residence.   The history of this place: http://www.thaiwaysmagazine.com/thai_article/30-12_doi_tung/doi_tung.html.

Groggy afternoon, around 3pm, at the back row of our 11 seater van:

Near the entrance to the garden:

It was a beautiful place, and also a beautiful day.  There were locals in traditional costumes visiting the place, and there were performances too.  Of course I took lots of photos of the place and the flowers, but here, I shall post pictures of us mainly.

Bird's-eye view or "apple" view:

Traditional dance performance; the girls had beautiful smiles.


Pretty and colourful pictures:

Chio Bu-s!

Chio Bu-s too!

And here we did our first jump shots!

Imitations, ha!


We left at about 5pm, and headed back to a restaurant across our hotel, beside the Mekong river, for dinner.  A lousy picture of the Mekong from inside the restaurant; but we had a great day learning some history of our neighbour countries:
