A Return to Chiang Mai

We had a lazy morning in Bangkok, before heading to the airport for a short flight back up to Chiang Mai. We arrived in time to catch the weekly Chiang Mai Happy H3, and we had an interesting semi-shiggy trail up over a local dam, and down various dirt tracks into the finish. An excellent and funny circle followed, with ice blocks and lots of singing. https://www.relive.cc/view/vPOpWDEn3Rv

After we got back into town, we gathered up with a few other hashers and had dinner in a local restaurant. Ended up being family style Thai food, so delicious, and then we ventured back to the hotel to rest and prepare for the opening of the SHOT weekend, with a trail first thing Friday morning.

We awoke still having no plan for getting up to Pai, but asking around during the hash, we eventually landed a ride with a KL hasher who was driving up on his own. So we took in a decent city trail through the old city of Chiang Mai, scampered back to pack our bags, and off we went on our journey to Pai. https://www.relive.cc/view/v8qV131mK36

Our journey to Pai was interesting, we made a few stops along the way, and even took in Huai Nam Dang National Park that boasts the highest point in all of Thailand. The drive was difficult, as the road climbed up the mountains, twisting and turning back and forth. The drive up hill was manageable, but when we came down after the park, it got very tough in the back seat, and my stomach was flipping and flopping. Was feeling ill for a couple hours after we arrived.Okumaya devam et
