Thank you for your comments. I met you on your arrival and remember your visit, I'm sorry you did not have the time to go on my full garden tour, the garden is both explicit and subtle, it has stories and secrets. Since you were from England I mentioned to you that an English comedian with his mother had recently visited during their travels in Thailand, which is show now on Comedy Central. I don't think mentioning this was boastful as you suggest in your posting, and it was not my intention. The teahouse with its small library about erotic arts is open to all. You commented on the garden entrance fee of 300-baht, this includes my full personal tour, wifi in and free time in the garden and it's pavilions, and also a beverage, like coffee, iced drink, or the pot of the tea you chose with your complimentary cake . At many Chiang Mai cafes and restaurants tea and cake alone would cost around 200 baht. The balance of the garden entry fee is essentially for the hill-tribe women who tend the garden and keep it looking lovely. Katai
