Hiking the Mae Sa Waterfalls
It was hard to see Amber’s mom head home to America. Her visit and the holidays flew by way too quickly! The day after she left, Amber and I felt a bit empty and homesick. To cheer up, we hiked and explored the Mae Sa waterfalls, which are located about 45 minutes north of Chiang Mai.
There are a series of ten waterfalls along a 3 km stretch of river, with rapids, calm pools for swimming, etc. Some areas have huge, flat boulders where people take picnic lunches, read books, etc. At the base of the falls, we bought some pad thai, grilled chicken, and sticky rice to eat on the boulders.

So glad y’all had fun with Amber’s Mom.. and now y’all are hanging out with her Dad!! So glad you both are getting a taste of home with some family company.
