Tham Pla - Pha Sua National Park. About 16 km north of Mae Hong Son, and easy to get to by bus. Or an easy and enjoyable trip by motorcycle. Food en pick nick space is widely available, but it can, or better it will be very crowded on weekends and public holidays. A 500 metre walk along a beautiful river will bring you to the entrance of the cave. Tham means cave and Pla means fish; hence the fish cave. There are loads of fish, they can reach up to1 metre in length, and are protected by a statue of a Hindu Rishi called Nara. If you like to feed the fish don't forget to buy some fruit and vegetables at the car park before heading out to the cave.

Well, the cat seems to like it. The nice green floor belongs to the
lovely Wheeler guest-house in Kuala Lumpur. Wheeler's serves free
extensive rooftop diners on Friday.

Leisure & pleasure; a distinguished self-portrait !

Found this place in the back of an Indian temple in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Sri Mahamariamman Temple is the oldest (1873) and richest Hindu temple in Kuala Lumpur. Before opening the doors to the public it used to be a private shrine to the Pillai family.

Petronas Twin Towers on a rainy day, Kuala Lumpur, Malasya. Still impressive, you can cross the sky bridge between the 2 towers for free if you like to. Meaning: wake up in the morning, go over there, wait in line for one of the 1300 tickets which are issued each day. Or order and pay in advance. Closed on Monday.

Leisure & pleasure; lingering...

              Always a nice place to spend a quiet afternoon, a Chinese temple.
                And indeed, you don't need to be a believer. Without a doubt,
                Lingering should be on your agenda on a regular base.
