Most of the farmers including my partner go through the local middlemen. I believe the middlemen layer deal with SG agents.

It is very very difficult to eliminate the smell of cigarettes and tobacco from the house, walls and wood.

Last time there was 2 years ago....see if i can find the photos to post.....at my age i cannot tahan the long winding trip.......next time go must take helicopter.

On Narong and the rest of you here. Give you a feel on the journey between Chiang Mai and Pai.

Direct distance is 86km, buy actual on the road is 133km. From Chiang Mai to Pai the first about 35km is normal roads, thereafter it going up the mountains then down for almost 100km. It took me about 5 hours and thats because stopped twice a total of 1.5hrs so if drive without stop should take 3.5hrs. But then there are many beautiful stops worth to take a nice rest. Here's the video.
