Today we visited the ancient temple in Chiang Mai, apparently there were lots of stairs to climb so I opted for the elevator but when we got there it really wasn't that many! So I went down the stairs when leaving. We chilled by the pool and at 2pm made our way to the temple via taxi. When we went into the temple I have never felt more peaceful, it was so quiet and certainly a place to think about things. Monks were walking around and locals were praying, as we...

Today was free time in Chiang Mai!! Joe and I got our clothes washed, dried and ironed, so nice to have clean clothes after being stinking in the jungle lol :) chilled out at the pool for a couple hours then went to Tiger Kingdom at 2pm. Got to Tiger Kingdom by tuk tuk. We all went in the enclosures with the tigers. The first age group was 2-4 months, so cute. Some we're asleep and one, in particular, was playing about and jumping on the trainer, they get a sligh...

Going over treterous bridges, going through some water, again amazing scenery all round us. The heat was starting to rise the more we got into Chiang Mai. After the trek we t...

Got up nice and early to start our first day trekking in the Thai jungle. We left our big rucksacks back at the elephant camp and we got a transfer to the jungle.

I was absolutely sweating from every pore as we got to the top of the first hill, the scenery made up for it, however, it was stunning. We meandered through fields, hills, cros...

We got up and headed down for breakfast which consisted of eggs, fruit, coffee, fruit juice etc. was very tasty!!!! We then headed to the elephant camp again. We were going to do a jungle trek with the elephants. Joe got on the front and Harriet and I got on the seat on the back.it was scary you felt like you were going to fall off. Took some good photos :)))) it came on heavy heavy rain but it just added to the trek. Wee baby came with us and was always up to mi...
