Chiang Mai, anyone?

Flight of the Gibbon Zip line Canopy Tour

Pim was able to get us foreigners a sweet deal to do this. She pulled the "they are just students here to help our people and do humanitarian work" and it worked like a charm. We should've paid $70, but we paid what a native Thai would pay which is about half that.
- Zip line through a 1500 year old rainforest with gigantic trees. Just picture Avatar.
- 2 km of zip line
- 15 different platforms
- An awesome, all-you-can-eat lunch was included after a hike to a beautiful waterfall


We were in this little village way up in the mountains with really cool houses, almost like tree houses. Really peaceful place to live except for when tons of foreigners come to swing like monkeys through the trees.




Chubby rice cheeks...what can we say, we eat rice here. Everyday. Multiple times a day.









Sorry about the scream...definitely not necessary.

Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep Rajvoravihara





350 stairs doesn't seem like a lot, but it kind of is.

Umbrella Factory


Night Safari

It was overrated. A day safari would have been much more worth the time and money or just a real one in Africa. The best part was the lone chimp on an island that danced like a ballerina when we made monkey noises and pounded on the railing. That may have been worth our ฿250...

Overall, it was a fun weekend!
