Some of my favorite things so far.....

This Indigo dying

This is the indigo plant. She is holding the branches that the dye is extracted from.

Lye and potash is used to male the dark color.

 I scored 2 table cloths, 2 pcs of fabric and a skirt. Definally impulse shopping, we only had 10 minutes.

This is my tent cabin on the River Kwai.

I love these old teak houses. The support beams are massive.

We've had 2 cooking demos. This one is for green Papaya salad.

This one for a yummy noodle dish with minced pork. 

When we visited an ancient site everyone was riding around on bikes (except us) and this one was perfect for a family.

We visited a Akha village- one of the hill tribes in the golden triangle and got a demo of traditional headdresses.

This group only wears them on special days.

And we had lunch. Grilled fish, saffron rice steamed noodles and bamboo shoots. So far the food has been pretty tasty and not at all like Thai restaurant food at home.
