Little Pinky No Pants - Chiang Mai
Little Pinky No Pants Jungle Trek Review

Fondest memory: This is another Jungle Kid, the Little-Pinky-No-Pants. He is good at asking for candies, playing with baby puppy, riding a dog while twisting its ears like riding a motorbike, and playing with knife. He chop his fingers, without crying, laughing instead! I was woundering why these kids don't cry even he cut his fingers. Perhaps their born character is happy? Or perhaps the drug? I don't know...

Jungle Dance - Chiang Mai
Jungle Dance Jungle Trek Review

Fondest memory: OK. Here is the set performance, the kids are supposed to sing and dance around the camp fire after dinner. Well, at first I thought this is their normal practice after dinner, but in fact, this is a forced performance set by the tour organized. Can see the kids not really willing to perform, just try to finish the assignment. They are more interested in our candies and playing with our digital cameras.

Jungle Kids - Chiang Mai
Jungle Kids Jungle Trek Review

Fondest memory: Here are the kids of the first village we visited. Well, these kids are spoiled, with too many tourists visits. The first thing they speak to me was Au-Bu-U-Ja, which means hello, good morning, good bye, how are you. All in one word. Immediately after that, they asked me for candies. If you want to give them candies, prepare a whole pack, if you try to give them bit by bit, like me, don't work. They'll attack you! Attack your pocket, attack your hands... until they make sure there's no more candies left with me!

Scenery along the ride - Chiang Mai
Scenery along the ride Jungle Trek Review

Fondest memory: We pass by many beautiful farm / field along the road. This is one of them. I believe it will be much nicer in Spring / Summer time when all the plants grows.

Elephant Ride - Chiang Mai
Elephant Ride Jungle Trek Review

Fondest memory: Third day morning, elephants came to village to pick us up. Two of us share an elephant. Here we started our 2 hours Jungle Elephant Ride. At first I was a little scared, and didn't want to step on the animal's head, but I have no choice. In fact, I don't understand why they worship elephants in wat, set them as "saint" figures, while these people treat them like dirt in real life.

Jungle Lunch - Chiang Mai
Jungle Lunch Jungle Trek Review

Fondest memory: Our guide from Libra Guesthouse, Pom Pom. Besides taking care of our trekking team, he is also responsible for all our meals. Here he is cooking our lunch, today menu is instant noodle soup with vegetables. Actually, I think it will be more fun if we can involve in the cooking as well, insetad of sitting down waiting to be served like a guest.

Bamboo Rafting - Chiang Mai
Bamboo Rafting Jungle Trek Review

Fondest memory: After lunch, we head over for a 3-hour bamboo rafting down the river. This is very fun, although 3 hours is bit long, I think. Started to get bored and tired after 2 hours. My shoulders are all sore the next morning.

I love this rafting because this is a standing one, and everyone have to get involve with rafting, instead of just sitting down there enjoying the scnery like a tourist.

Jungle Toilet - Chiang Mai
Jungle Toilet Jungle Trek Review

Favorite thing: A little rest after 2-hour. Everything in this trip is natural and related to jungle, like, Jungle Toilet. See the tree behind me? You can choose whichever you like as your private toilet.
