New Year Holiday Trip (3rd day) - Pang Oong

We slept in!!, so we missed the best timing to reach Pang Oong. It is a reservior on the mountain in Mae Hong Sorn that was initiated by our King. We drove about one hour for 25 miles distance from the hotel and had to take local car service (run by the local people) to go up to the Reservior for another 30 mins. The best time to be there is before the first light of the morning, so we missed seeing massive fog floating over the water. However, I also held my breath to see the scenery at 6:45am. The weather was very cold.
I-Din needed both gloves and hats. She enjoyed making smoke from her mouth...

We headed to Rak Thai Village (Love Thai Village) for lunch. They are Thai-Chinese people who live very close to the border. The famous dish is steamed pork troter with steamed bun. We (especially P'Num) spent another half an hour to taste homemade wine named "Lee Wine Rak Thai". The sales lady encouraged him to try 5-6 different ones, so I told him to stop tasting and bought it instead otherwise P'Num may not be able to drive!!

Nunda likes this tea shop made of clay... Next, I-Din was holding a bunch of flower for praying at the buddha image at the Pang Oong King's Palace and the beautiful wild orchids in the palace area. After that, we went back to the hotel to check out and move to next nearby destination... Pang Ma Pha.
