An adventure of a lifetime

After resting and recovering, we adventured. We went to both the Sunday Night Walking Street and the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar, where we sipped fresh passion fruit shakes, ate a bazillion spring rolls + street meats, and watched traditional Lanna dancers. We hiked the Monk's Trail to Wat Pha Lat, a magical Buddhist temple constructed as a meditation and resting point for monks as they climbed to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, a temple that sits atop the highest mountain in the region. We had an extreme jungle adventure, piloting bamboo rafts down a river in Mae Wang National Park, seeing elephants, jumping into waterfalls and visiting the Karen Long Neck Village. We took a cooking class, making a five course Thai meal and learning about the local ingredients and cuisine. Simply put, we lived. Fully.
