now i show you something different - the hotsprings!

there are many hotsprings in the area round pai - this one is the closest (well there are some closer but that is secret and we will keep it one...) Anyhow - drinking till 2 or 3 and getting up at 6 in order to get early to the springs requires first of all an alarm - set to 6! than it is brush teeth grap towel and lots of water - go to the bike - and go there.

the advantage of getting there at 6.20 is between 30 and 60 minutes silence. only birds sing, the water gargels between the stones and the wind fondles the trees - like meditating - only in hot water. later the sun creeps over the hilltop and fans golden beams of light through the trees. and than come the others and bye bye silence...

oh spider in the web - who ist the handsome boy in that hot pool??

early in the morning the top spot is this one. very hot water comes from the one side and hot water from the other. with stones you create a big pool and now you can mix the water and be in the hot stream and switch in the cooler one - perfect!!

this is in the pool with the colder stream coming down next to my head.

at the stone on the left you can rest your head

looking up

aaaaaahhhh

this is the hot stream - not longer than 5 minutes for me. later in the day it is impossible to bear - toooo hot!

now here comes the sun
