This 80 year old woman invited us into her beautiful accommodation to take shade and provided us with water. Her kindness was unbound and she was unbelievably friendly. She told us that she had to get rid of her Durian farm because of the floods a few years ago and start up a homestay business to keep her head above water. She hopes the land will recover next year and she will be able to grow this bountiful crop once more.

Bamboo farmer in Chiang Mai who splits the bamboo to then be sold to those who wish to weave it for building materials, baskets or anything else!

Whilst cycling around a village in Chiang Mai (I forget which!) We met one of the kindest souls I have ever had the pleasure of meeting- a retired fish farmer. We were tired and in need of a little water and so he very kindly invited us in and showed us his fishing baskets that he longer uses due to his old age. He showed us the techniques used to weave the baskets from the bamboo he grows in his garden. He gave us a sweet Thai snack- a sweet coconut paste that was wrapped in a banana leaf and boiled. His kindness was boundless and I will remember him for a long time.

Staying in a Karen village. Wonderful company, so friendly and welcoming. Food was incredible as well. The Karen Village is situated in the remote hills of Northern Thailand just outside of Chiang Mai.

We walked for a good few hours in the forest before stumbling across this beautfiul “waterfall”. These huge boulders were wedged inbetween one another and the river flowed underneath. We climbed up the rockface and followed it up stream, boulder hopping all the way until they just suddenly disapeared. Strange, but so beautiful. Located somewhere on Dartmoor, I know exactly where but I want to keep it secret!
