In the Midst of the Waterfall Pala-U Waterfall น้ำตกป่าละอู

Today, we went hiking to explore a multi-level waterfall that was 60 km / from Hua Hin. There were 5 different waterfalls. At each one there were tons of fish! Some were big and some were small, but they were all the same kind. I had fun feeding and touching the fish. They even nibbled at my fingers. That was a little scary. They were sure hungry! I waded in the water and took a video under water of all the fish with my dad's Go-Pro video camera. It was pretty amazing to see. 

Questions for my blog readers:
- Have you ever touched a slimy fish?
- Have fish eaten right out of your hand before?
- Have you ever been to waterfall? 
Please tell me about it.

Hiking to Pala-U Waterfall น้ำตกป่าละอู

Pala-U Waterfall น้ำตกป่าละอู

Today we went to the Pala-U waterfall. And it took over an hour to get there. But in spite of the long commute we had an awesome time. The waterfall had five levels, with each level about 165 feet away. And I also brought my DSLR camera and took HDR pictures using the RAW photo setting.  On the way there my parents accidentally went "swimming", as they slipped on the rocks near one of the water falls. And I almost fell a few times too.   It was so cool to see the pretty waterfalls!

On a Horse - The Best Way to Spend My Birthday!!!

This past summer we went to the visit friends and family in the USA. We went to our friend's house while my Dad was at some meetings.

We had such a blast at their house! They have lots of animals:

• Two horses
• Three goats
• Four baby goats "kids"
• Three dogs
• Five cats
• Lots of birds (canaries, parrots, and even a crow)
• Lots of fish

And I think that is about all!

My favorite part of being there was riding the horses. Several days, Heather and I rode almost all day long! We didn't even want to get off for lunch, we were having so much fun!

I learned so much about horse while I was there. Like how to feed and water the horses, how to brush them properly, and even how to "muck" the stalls! And of course, to ride the horses.

The horse that I rode was named Cocoa! I didn't really like wearing the helmet, but I knew that it was keeping me safe!

I couldn't ask for a better way to spend my birthday, than to be with my friend Heather and her horses!

Questions for my blog readers:

1. Do you like horses?
2. What was your favorite way to spend your birthday?

Let me know!
