Chiang Mai trip

Hi all... Just to do some advert on Chiang Mai trip.

I am organizing a Thailand trip this July. The guide is a Singaporean living there with his Thai wife. So he will bring us to many places that only Thais have access to.

The last time I went...

We went to stay in a resort on top of the mountain. It was super super cold up there. Below 10 degrees. The water there is freezing... faulty heater.. but nevertheless a good experience. the scenery is fantastic. There are little children there that will offer to dance for us for a small fee. Also there will be children that offer to go with us to the mountain the next day to carry all our baggage for us.

We went for rafting... which will be especially fun during the summer period...cos the water will really rush... We went for some hiking in the nature park.... it is not like bukit timah...we really walk on rocky... and unbuilt path. Sometimes will slip... and quite scary... some paths make of bamboo that will break sometimes.. quite scary... screamed like mad.

We also climb up to the top of a waterfall and sat there to enjoy the warm spring water fall on us.

... Also we had elephant trip... where the elephant take us for a ride..

and of course..some night market walk and local cuisine tasting.. Also get to witness the sun rise on a mountain... the scenery is really fantastic on the mountain..u are literally above the clouds from up there. After coming down from the mountain, it was still cold.... about 8.... so we bought some SPICY TOMYAM cup noodles from the street vendors and ate.... eating hot spicy cup noodle in the cold is really a luxury.

With youths like us...we can do more adventurous stuff... heard we can include things like... travelling on the truck thing... as in we drive it... from one village to another... Camping in the open field to see the star-filled sky. Think in the countryside, the sky scenery should be quite good.

Oh... the guide also mention that we can stay at their house... in Chiang Rai... and they have their own padi field and we can actually try harvesting rice and then we can cook and eat the rice we harvest ourselves.

The weather there is super cold in December. In chiangrai, the tempreture is about 10 degrees. And in Chiang mai about 18-20 degrees.

I will contact the tour guide... and ask for the itinerary. See wat he say... hopefully he is free in july.

We will take Tiger airways or Jet star... since it is the most budget.
