Carey’d Away…

After our drive up to Wat Thaton we still had a bit of daylight left and decided to take a longtail boat trip on the Maekok River.
These photos are all taken with our little point & shoot camera.  No way I was taking my good camera on that boat! 

Matthew happily trailed his hand in the cold water.

Mike was smiling happy that we were able to take the sunset cruise.

Nathan and I are also having a great time.  Little did we realize we’d all be freezing as soon as the sun set!

Not far down the river we came to the Burmese border marked by just a piece of white line and a small white sign (written only in Thai).
I added a red line and arrow so you can see where it was.

So we turned around and went a lot farther in the other direction, towards Chiang Rai.
Nathan had time to get bored and start being silly. 

The boat ride lasted a lot longer than we expected and as the sun got lower, the temperature started dropping quickly.

Fortunately by this time we were on the way back,

because it was COLD!
