Luang Nam Tha

Luang Nam Tha is a small town near the China and Thai border on the edge of the Nam Tha national park.  The town was full of very big cars, some expensive BMW's and big houses, apparently its all the Chinese that have come across the boarder and are making money from exporting all the teak.  I was still traveling with the Swedish lasses and also met an American couple on the bus, we all decided to do a trek together but we had a couple of days wait before the trek. 


We hired mountain bikes and decided to head off and explore the villages but didn't get very far as the bikes were very uncomfortable on the dirt tracks and it was very hot in the day.  We did come across a few small villages with some teeny bridges that they were riding motorbikes across, we decided to walk as didn't fancy our chances of cycling across them!  Once we stopped for lunch we didnt make it out again, think I've seen enough small villages and rice paddies!
