The smell of fresh lime filling the air. The rhythmic motions of the mortar and pestle smooshing and mixing, smooshing and mixing. A length of sai ua, hot off the grill. Blue plastic picnic basket filled with the goods. Cool rock in the shade of a tree. Water falling. Water cascading. Falling and pooling, falling and pooling. Hike a path through the dry jungle. 10 levels to the top!
An assortment of grilled picnic foods available at the base of the Mae Sa Waterfall
A picnic with all the fixin’s: sai ua and som tum…
