    The trail is 4km long and follows the Mae Lai Stream from 1000m A.S.L. to 1400m A.S.L. In addition to paying trail entrance fees each individual or group must hire the services of a Villages Community Guide.

      @ saxonfenken
      Thank you for your kind comments, invitation and favorourite. Regretably very few opened their wings and I had to be careful not to stand on them.

      Beautiful take - I think it is much more difficult to make such a picture than to take photos of flowers (what I prefer).

      Thank you for your valued comments. Yes, I find butterflies are the most difficult for me when they are in this situation as they are constantly moving and very few were prepared to open their wings.Thanks for your visit.

      Yes I was lucky as they had just hatched. Unfortunately only one had its wings open. Thanks for your visit and for adding a favourite.
