On Friday, August 20th, Neil and I took the overnight train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. The next morning, Jeff, a lecturer at a Chiang Mai University, met us at the train station.

Jeff's home is a beautiful, small permaculture farm outside of Chiang Mai.

Water hyacinth, a fast growing accumulator of nitrogen and phosphorus, flourishes in the irrigation channel and is periodically removed and used as nutrient rich mulch on the adjacent garden beds.
