Fish Cave, Mae Hong Son Provence, Thailand (Carp Swimming up stream into a an Underwater Cave)

     Last week Ploy and I were traveling to Mae Hong Son from Chiang Mai, when we stopped off for a short rest at Thai Nature Park, where the fish swim upstream into an underwater cave. It sounds less amazing that it is, so I took many photos of the park and of the beautiful fish to convey how special it is to see them.

     This fish cave park is an absolute must for anyone who travels to Mae Hong Son. It is not a tourist attraction, but a natural wonder.

The large fish swim around in the ponds and stream, until they reach the cave,
where they disappear into the dark cavern beneath the water's surface.

Here is spot where the fish swim into the cave and likely breed in the cool water.

Bungalows in Thailand. A balanced look from a traveler, including many photos of various rooms and what to expect to pay while backpacking or traveling in Thailand.

    This post is to help show you what types of rooms and Bungalows you can expect to find and stay in while traveling throughout Thailand. I have taken many pictures, and advise you to first inspect the room and then to negotiate a better price if you decide to take the room.

Make sure you have a BUG net. It is a necessity.
Don't take a room without one, or plan to get no sleep and move the next day.

Bugs bugs, bugs.




 Here is Ploy, on the porch of our Bungalow, with our New Honda MSX,
We drove up from Chiang Mai, to Pai this week,  along the road with 1,000 hair pin curves.

Here was our room, with a bug net, and two large double beds.

The sheets were clean and so were our towels. It was an excellent room for $13 dollars a night!

Here is a night time view of a "cool" place to stay.

It is relaxing to listen to the insects of the jungle as you talk and rest, and sleep.

Take a break, your in Thailand, you deserve the right atmosphere!

This is the view from a mountain near Pai, overlooking the town, the river, the many
 Bungalow guest houses, and the rice fields.

Here is a TEAK Bungalow.  It was being rented for $35 dollars a night, but had
ambiance, taste,and style. A sure hit with your partner.

A nice clean air-conditioned bungalow, with hot water and
a NICE Bathroom.       Comfort and travel in one package.
$40 a night.

The next bungalow looks exactly the same,
 but is going for 1/4 the price.

Style, rustic, peace and quiet.
A hot water bathroom, and a great porch with a nice hammock.
Only $ 13 dollars a night.   Many people pay more, but don't much extra.

Look around, and find a room that suits your need and budget.
Never make reservations, unless you expect to PAY for them.
