Chaing Mai // Trekking


So, been a while since i've posted on here. I've been on a trekking tour through the Northern Thailand mountains for the last week. Elephant riding, bamboo rafting and some of the most stunning scenery imaginable. We walked through jungle type terrain, swimming in waterfalls and camping at small hill tribe villages.
Its been bleemin' marvellous. Met some wicked europeans, night before last we went too a huge festival in Chaing Mai, similar in size to New years eve in uk. They let off thousands of fire balloons into the sky and send candles floating down the river; a way of repenting sins. I also ended up pouring a bag of fish into the river for good luck -just after eating a fried 4inch cockroach, nice.
We finally found our way home at 7am, and that was the night of getting home from trekking. I'm heading to Laos tomorrow -luang prabang and vang vieng.
Should be a good crack.
