Chiang Mai hill tribe trekking

---

We left lopburi n got on a night train to Chiang Mai it was 12 hours on a bunk bed wiv a lil curtain, it wernt too bad actually, jus a bit cold !! Defo an experience !!
At chiang mai we saw some temples, then met our trekking group to talk bout wat we were doin, there bout 8 of us, n they a well nice group of people, we meetin up with few of em in a few days for tubing !!
The trek was literally the most intense thing i have ever done ! Rich even broke a sewat lol! I nearly gave up n im still aching!!
OMG on the 1st day we went on an elephant ride n got to play wiv the elephants then we started the trek!! 3 hours through a jungle up a mountain, i was shyte lol my balance is shocking, nearly fell few times, but everyone helpful n nice so was cool, we stopped for swim in waterfall then carried on to the first hill tribe campsite, but to get there it was a 30min vertical hill, i was sweating sooo bad i cudn breathe lol it was hard !! We met the village people n camped- yes i actually camped- there for one nite!! it was fun wiv everyone thou Next day we went to the hill tribe school then did anuva 3 hour trek then lunch thn like 2 more hours, it was pretty much all up very steep hills or rock climbing it was soooo pretty thou!! Well worth it, then we stayed at the top of the mountain with another hill tribe, went to anuva waterfall. Then the next day we hadta get all the way back down lol, after walkin uphill solid for 2 days my legs were shaking goin down the mountain lol but halfway we got to go bamboo rafting which was crazy, i spent most of it on my hands and knees, rich stood and didnt fall in!! lol but they took us down mini waterfalls on bamboo rafts it was fun times !! Then few of us went to night market last nite, me and kieron tried pig intestines!!! everone else watched in disgust lol!
Today we went chiang mai zoo, its defo the best one iv been to, u can feed everything practically - giraffes, hippos, cheetahs- n they come rite up within touching distance, it was very cool !!
