The "Warm Up" Balloon Launch - 
5th March 2008.

Our thanks to intrepid balloon passenger Lars Magnusson for the photos!

In a prelude to the Chiang Mai International Heritage Festival, and the "Viva Weddings in the Air" the Press was invited to take an early morning ride on this misty morning. They are still telling everybody how great an experience it was.......

Location - Lanna Polytechnical College, dawn. Right, on with the fan, and light the gas..

See? Things are already 'looking up'........

Now, give it full blast .....


Very close to lift off folks....aren't the laws of physics amazing?


10, 9, 8........


Up up and .........


We're off!...........Where to now?


So nice just looking down at the tree tops.......so this is what the birds see!


This is sheer heaven..better than playing golf!

What's that down there?


Anybody awake in the Rim Ping Condo?


Shall we drop in on Warorot Market for some noodles??


Or just follow the River Ping?


Take a closer look? We can safely go very low, you know...so hold on..


Don't worry - you won't get wet....I do this all the time.....


We'll just give the fish something to talk about!

Ballooning? - easy when you know how!
So would you like to see some weddings in the air now?
