Highest point in Thailand!


This was a long motorbike trip. The roundtrip took over six hours from Chiang Mai. Doi Inthanon is the highest peak in Thailand at 2595 meters. It was a great day for a ride, until the last 10 km when I was in the clouds, mist, and rain. It was freezing! I almost turned back, it was so cold! All I could do was take this lousy photo and turn around! (NB: Fisherman clothing -- not made for cold rain.) On the way up, I passed through pine forests with banana trees -- it was a reminder that I wasn't in North America.
