River Ride - Mae Hong Son, Thailand

Lunch stop (101k)

Here is the restaurant where we enjoyed lunch. We ate in the back overlooking the river.

Our boat  (90k)

This is our transportation up the river to our next destination.

Our trusty navigator  (67k)

His job is to watch for oncoming boats and rocks, and weigh down the front of the boat.

Gathering minerals  (85k)

Locals come to the river to get minerals like these folks. These minerals are dredged, shoveled into large piles on the banks, then loaded onto pickup trucks.

Beautiful scenery  (88k)

Along the banks! Mae Hong Son province is the least densely populated in all of Thailand.

Tourist  (116k)

The roads around here are narrow, winding passages through the mountains. Travel by river is a good alternative.
