Trecking across the rice fields

Surrounding Mung Noi there were some smaller villages that are connected by paths through the rice paddies, we went for a bit of an explore one afternoon and came across some locals beating the rice after harvesting it.  They invited us to help and laughed lots at us as we couldn't lift as much as them!  

The views across the rice fields were stunning and very quiet as there was just farmland and small villages with no cars or motorbikes.  We went exploring for a waterfall but gave up then found out that it was another 3 hours walk from the little villages which was a bit much in the heat!
