    July 1, 2019 in Thailand ⋅ 🌧 27 °C

    Today we got up and went for a yummy breakfast at a local cafe! At midday we got the bus to Pai - I have never ever been on so many windy roads it was crazy and we drove sooo fast lol. Got picked up by the hostel and soon arrived at our FAVOURITE hostel ever ever ever. It is called Nolo Hub and was built and set up by a 27 year old Aussie guy who is the nicest, coolest guy everrr! It has only been open 3 weeks and are only like the 50th guests ever - they only have 2 dorms open and is under construction still! Met the dog from the hostel Bruce who is a hilarious bulldog and sooo calm and then met the staff - Maya is a local Thai lady and is amazing and so nice. We then headed to walking street and had the most delicious corn on the cobs and dinner from the street food market.Bumped into friends from Chiang Mai and then headed back to our hostel for a pre! Met 3 super nice English girls at the hostel and the other 5 guests who were also so so nice! We all headed into town together and bar hopped sharing buckets and chatting - got rather drunk all together was so funRead more

    Thailand - day 7

    June 30, 2019 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

    Today we had a very early start! Woke up at 6.30am to go on our day trip to Chiang Mai. It was so good, but got off to a funny start. We read on the itinerary that the first spot were hot springs so wore bikinis and it ended up being a hot springs fountain LOL. We then visited the white temple which was so beaut and wandered around here looking at both the heaven and hell parts of the temple! The next stopwas the long neck Karen collage which was sooo interesting. The children start wearing rings at 2 years old and some of the older ladies necks were so long. We wandered around the hill tribe village and watched them weaving scarfs and then visited their straw houses where they live in the jungle! The final place was to the northern most point of Thailand right where it borders Myanmar - did some shopping on the bridge that connects them across the river and bought such a beaut silver bangle!Read more

    Today was the best morning ever ever ever. We got collected from our hostel at 6am and got in a tuktuk with a few other people! Drove for about 2 hours into the jungle and eventually arrived at Chiang Mai elephant sanctuary. It was honestly incredible, the elephants have this huge huge area of jungle which they freely roam in and the staff are soooo nice. We started off putting on these funny tops as then headed to meet all the girls (elephants) lol. They were absolutely beautiful and so so calm. We fed them bananas, gave them hugs by holding the banana behind them and they wrapped their trunks round us, and even played games with them!! It was incredible. After this we went to a mud bath and literally had a mud bath with all the elephants. We scrubbed them down and ended up getting covered in mud especially me because I was having a mud fight with one of the local boys who worked there lol. Was soooo fun! After this we took the elephants down to the creek where we washed them (& ourselves) and they sprayed water EVERYWHERE hahah! Was so cute. Following this we headed to a waterfall to properly wash off and ended up buying some jewellery from a local jungle lady. Had a huge buffet lunch and then waved goodbye to the elephants at about 2pm! Was the best day everrr!! We then had a nap in our room and went on the bodega bar crawl again this night! Was so fun and met so many good people - even bumped into some friends from Laos! Another late one lol about 4am!Read more

    Today was SO MUCH FUN!! Woke up rather hungover but got some breakfast to go and got in a grab to Grand Canyon Chiang Mai. It was the funnest 4 hours EVER! We did the inflatable assault course, falling off every 2 seconds especially because it had been raining which made it even sloppier! Went on the huge slides and trampolines into the water and then did this thing where you sit on one end of the inflated bag and then someone jumps on the other end and you go flying into the water was sooooo fun! After this we did a zip lines across the canyon which was so fun and then did cliff jumping - the cliff jumping was sooo high and actually terrifying but so so fun! We then went on these huge slides which literally make you fly into the water was so funny hahha! We then headed back for some street food and had a chilled early night all absolutely knackered!Read more
