Another cloudy morning here in Fang that looks like rain, every other morning when its looked like this the sun is out by 11am

A hundred or so metres on is this unknown reservoir

Lots of broken glass here as drinking seems to be a favourite hobby at this reservoir

A remnant of someone elses activity too it would seem.
This reminds me of when I was 17, a group of us were walking home when one of my friends sees a condom hanging from a branch grabs it and gets covered with its (gone cold by now) contents.
We all fell about laughing and often teased him about it

I ride to the Doi Wiang Pha National Park and here you have to sign the book to go in but there was no charge
DSCF3312_zpsc63cb7c1.jpg

There is a waterfall here with three levels but as no water was flowing down the stream I wasnt going to walk up to them just to see some dry rocks

Back at my hotel and the owners friendly dog comes to greet me walking into my room.
Possibly the chicken bones from my meal a couple of days ago has helped forge a friendship between us

Its sunday and the street is closed for the market
