Favorite Thing: The trek selected by Libra Guesthouse is located near Chiang Rai and Burma boarder, pretty nice scenery. Not too difficult but interesting enough. Here is a view towards Burma boarder.

Favorite Thing: This is our first stop after a 2-hour trek. This waterfall is beautiful. Unfortunately, temperature is too cold to jump in for a swim. We had our lunch box here, vegetable fried rice, then continue the trek to the first village.

Fondest Memory: OK. This is our Jungle Hotel. Simple bamboo hut with mosquitoe net. A big room which can accomodate 12 people. Pretty spacious for a 6-person team like us.

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!

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...

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.

I really liked your restaurant tips! Eating local food is a great part of travelling :-) The jungle trek sounds like fun, but 3 hours on a raft like that sure sounds like loooong time! | pcc51 Sun Jul 2, 2006 05:23 UTC
Since you went to Changmai, have you been in Ma Hong Son? There are more jungle activities! | gib157 Sun Jun 5, 2005 14:44 UTC
Great pages Virginia. I did a similar trek last year but my bamboo rafting only lasted 30 mins. 3 hours! how did you cope. I might check Libra guesthouse out this summer. Thanks again for very useful tips! jon | mim95 Thu May 5, 2005 01:13 UTC
Good tips! The bamboo rafting looks a bit scary... |
