spent alot of time sleeping yesterday and my stomach still felt pretty rough this morning. still , determined to get the most out of this holiday we got on the road by around 10am and after picking up more imodium, headed off to Obluang. the roads were alot easier and the views much less spectacular. until we reached Obluang at around midday.
it was 200 baht for me on entry, 40 baht for Boon. it is a visually stunning place and i may well go back for a camping holiday in the future. unfortunately the resort right at the entrance is apparently no loger operating. so after spending time relaxing in the beauty of the park next to the mountain river, we headed off again in search of our next place to stay. The road on from Obluang follows the river for quite some way and the road is reasonably flat, making for a very pleasant journey. we considered finding a place for a swim in the river but , as lovely as it looked it also had a very obvious strong current and the complete lack of any locals swimming anywhere put me off the idea.
after checking out one resort just down from Obluang and deciding it was to dead looking, we decided to carry on to the Doi Inthanon area.
we are now booked into a quiet Thai resort 7km out of a town called Chom Tong ( i think, will correct tomorrow).
the town is pretty non-discript but does ahave a very beautiful temple, a bustling food stall area in the centre and a home where you can get Thai massage from blind practioners in the day time.
