Today we took the beautiful drive from Chiang Khong back to Chiang Rai. Because it's been raining almost everyday, the countryside is lush and green. The rain has kept it cooler, only about 85 degrees, but with 50-80% humidity it feels like 110. Most of the Hmong came across from Laos, a gorgeous country, but one of the worst persecutors of Christians.
It was fun to drive a stick shift again; however, since you drive on the left, the truck is right hand drive which means you shift with your left hand. The turn signal stalk is also reversed, so we keep turning on the wipers when we're trying to signal. :/
