looking good mate. It's always a great feeling when you find decent coffee in Asia. [emoji6]

Bottoms up :coffee2:.

What a wonderful photo... I'm relaxing just thinking about your locale and smiling faces! Enjoy!!!

FreshCoffee2

yeah, me too ! As a point of interest DB, would you be kind enough to let us know how they are making the coffee? For example, when we were o/s recently we found there was a traditional brew based around the infusion process.

Morning A, espresso all the way, usually made on single group machines, Expobar, Simonelli etc, otherwise it's instant. Drove back to Chiangmai yesterday, again, very good espresso on the side of the road ^-^ pic taken by our driver. Fish in a river north of Mae Hong Son. 🙂

Very envious Dry Bean. You,re looking very relaxed, but you must be having a bit of an itchy finger due to the lack of coretto roasting action ehh?[emoji6] I,m currently stuck behind this La Marz Strada at work whilst looking at those nice pics. Keep them coming. Oh btw, seen any vintage motorbikes over there?

Looking relaxed DB. Much deserved R&R. Hopefully the weather is warming your bones as mine are shivering here in Melb. Enjoy your trip and keep the photos coming.

To tell the truth Gary have not given roasting a thought. Motor bikes everywhere, all of them step through so, saw a Triumph Tiger and a Bonneville the other day, other than those two, nothing. One of Heathers pics, yes the lady was quite happy for us to photograph her, we rewarded her for her patience. 🙂

Very relaxed GK, bloody hot here today, well over 35 degrees and almost 100% humidity, darned sight better than being cold though. Pic overlooking Mae Hong Son, spectacular country, airport in the background, can be a bit of a thrill landing there, mountainous, short strip and can be very misty. :-| Sorry about the orientation of pics, this this IPad has a mind of its own, I will never complain about Microsoft operating systems again.

Great pics Db, keep 'em coming. Just think, you are missing this glorious weather that we are having 😛.

Sadly we'll back home in a few days Sue, not looking forward to the cold. 🙁 Heather with an elephant we came across on the road noth of Mae Hon Son.

Brett_H

Wonderful mate! How will you get the Elephant back through customs?

Customs no obstacle, quarantine may well be problem 😃 Temple 50 meters from where we are staying tonight. 🙂
