Chilling in the mountains

I'd figured since I couldn't go on an organised trek to the hill tribes I'd just go there myself.  A place that had "blipped" on my radar was Doi Mae Salong.  Driving up there as the air was cooling I knew this couild be a place I can spend a long time.


The village is at about 1070 meters above sea level in a mountain range neighboring Myanmar.  Because of its elevation it's a lot milder than being down on the planes.  I checked into an old hostel called Shin Sane.  The ambiance of the place radiates from the owner and its surroundings.  


I wonder how long I can stay until I tear myself away?
