When I think of a houseboat I think of bedrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom, at the very least. Well, these standards do not apply in Thailand. Here, a "houseboat" is a pontoon boat. Luckily, when we went houseboating there was a bathroom onboard. But that was about it.
Our ride for the day!
The dam was fully opened. Hello, rainy season!
My friend, Josh, owns a “houseboat.” His girlfriend has family in Lampang, a beautiful area in northwestern Thailand, and his boat in on a nearby lake. A few of us went out on his boat, and it was wonderful! It wasn’t at all what I expected, but it was great. The boat was pretty darn big and fully stocked with extremely large speakers and karaoke, in perfect Thai style. Josh also had a full crew on board to serve us drinks and food, and to drive the boat. It was a beautiful and relaxing day.
My spot for the day.
We explored an underground temple along the lake. I was a bit scared. I don't like bats, dark spaces, etc..
But I got a few good photos!
Luckily the end of our adventure was near...
I was quite happy to be in broad daylight again.
The awesome homemade pinwheel on the front of the boat.
oh my goodness! that houseboat! what is their definition of "house"? It looks pretty cool though. i wish you had known josh and his girlfriend when we were there.
