it was lovely waking up to the peace of our lakeside bungalow near Chom Thong. determined to make the most of our last day we got on the road again by 9.30am. we headed up towards Doi Inthanon, bearing off to the left to Mae Klang Waterfall. Here there is a large parking area and food stalls , with covered dining areas next to the stream from the waterfall, before you actually enter National Park. we grabbed some breakfast there. but then headed back round to the Doi Inthanon National Park entrance and paid , once again 200 baht for me, 40 baht for Boon. This allows you access to anywhere in the Park apart from the summit and Temple, full access costs 400 baht.
we were basically on the waterfall hunt and and got to see to spectacular falls....Siriphon and Wararaitcha, hope i've got those names right.
The first, Siriphon was a look only one, with no access to the water, just a viewing platform.
Wararaitcha, was even more spectacular and you could find a spot to sit at the watersedge at the bottom of the waterfall, a little downstream, and even take a dip if you were brave or stupid enough to endure the cold water and strong currents. Of course we are very stupid and went in to cool off, great fun!
But after the stunning beauty of it all , what we realy wanted was to chill out for a while and get some prolonged water play somewhere a little less intimidating. and for that it was back down to Mae Klang where we spent a very nice afternoon, much of it in the water , along with many many thai and a few other farang.
we left there at 5pm and were back at the cafe for the sunday market by 6.30pm.
