Our hotel....
This is the shack n the village where we stayed for the night! It consisted of one large bedroom where the twelve of us slept side by side, a "kitchen" where our guide cooked us delicious curries for dinner and an outdoor toilet which was also inhabited by rather large spiders. A guy on our tour said that he awoke in the middle of the night with a spider crawling across his neck - and I survived it!!!! Not a good nights sleep though - you will not believe the noise that chickens, dogs and insects will make in a village in the jungle!The uphill slog....
We trekked 3-4 hours steep uphill to a Lahu village north of Chiang Mai and Oh My God (or Oh My Buddha as our crazy guide Johnny Walker would say!) it was hard work but so rewarding - the scenery is stunning. We walked through fields of banana trees, rice paddies and corn fields. Really beautiful.
Elephant Trekking in Chiang Mai
On the start of our two day hike to a village in the hills of Northern Thailand we were assisted by some friendly elephants!
