Another find in Mae Chaem was the Tennis & Meteorite Resort
Cute basic bungalows 500 baht a night
And you've got your own tennis court
And the meteorite
proudly presented & lovingly cared for by the owner, who is an incredibly amusing & interesting guy. A bit of a nature lover & expert potato grower, he once led the Rak Mae Chaem group to rally against the lignite mine near Mae Na Chon, but a couple of bullets soon convinced him of the error of his ways.
His resort: officially The View Fai Meteorite Tennis Resort.
The meteorite certainly looks real to me & it was found 6 years ago near Mae Chaem in his spud garden! (That's one hell of a potato.) Supposedly it has been scientifically tested & is the real thing.
He was one of the real characters of Mae Chaem & fought strongly for the conservation of the environment + traditions of Mae Chaem.
He is succeeded by 3 kids & one of his sons has taken over the resort.
What happens to his thriving spud business I don't now, but he was supplying a lot to the market in Chiang Mai.
