Excellent story! I really enjoy reading this post very much! I wish you would come exploring the mountains in the north one day. My freinds told me that the hill tribe people just pick up crystals and sometimes sapphire (uncut) from the roads!! My friends also stopped their car in the middle of the dirt road, they went down to pull out a big crystal rock from the earth.
I would like to have this sort of experience too!
Thank you for the post.
Cheers.
Thank you for letting me know.
If i had money to do it, i would travel to Thailand just for this comment alone. :)
I am not so found about tourist places, but as i have understood it, the Northern part of Thailand is not over-populated with tourists and have a lot of great nature to offer those who are interested in that.
I could probably spend many weeks in those mountains without noticing that time flew.. :)
Thank you @rezaptex for such a lovely reply! I hope you'll have lots of money for your travel soon. I will have to ask my friend who owns a crystal shop about places and old mines where people can go for some digging. Sometimes it can be dangerous going into the forests and mountains without local guides.
A group of my friends had a local hill tribe guide to take them to sacred caves where inside there were lots of crystals and the whole place reflected lights like diamonds when they switched on the torch light. Some caves are still hidden and secret. It can be quite an adventure exploring caves and mountains.
Cheers.
Thank you.
Yes i would never enter a big forest without local people who knew it well. :)
I am glad to know that. In the past several tourists went for walks in national parks and got lost for three days.
Cheers.
