Chiang Mai 3 day trek phew....: Photos 42 to 48

Well we have returned after the most amazing 3 days ever! - this is gonna be a long one, cos want to capture it all for historical purposes, so sorry for excessive detailing!!!


We booked our 3 day trek with Eagle house 2, a 2 night 3 day trek off the tourist trail to the hill tribes and doi inthanon in northern thailand. Cost about 60 euro each including accom and all our food and water, and entry to national parks etc.


We set off at about 8.30am on the first day with our little bags (advised less is more for long walks) and our group.

Great account of the jorney! We're safe and sound now back in Toronto. Hope you enjoy the rest of your adventures!
