While on a morning field trip in northern Thailand, we were ferried up into the hills on this brightly painted bus.

Get on the bus

Just outside of the city of Chiang Mai are several project stations organized by the Thai Royal Project Foundation. After spending the morning learning about rice cultivation and various sustainable agricultural practices, we boarded this colorful shuttle bus for a short tour of some of the project’s more important sites.

The magic bus

All the various sites were rather interesting, but the most “important” site turned out to be the lakeside restaurant where we were served a delectable 6-star lunch, which was definitely the highlight of the trip.

And of course, this magic bus also left a fine impression. In fact, it reminded me of a long-past summer, one full of love, refreshing drinks, and other magical treats. https://steemitimages.com/DQmTDjQygLGQv4iCp8k2DWp3x7o79Y4zBxGfcTvnLseCTaf/image.png
