Our guide was a man named Gun, and his assistant was Leon. They were incredible people and very knowledgeable about the jungle. I would highly recommend them. They are based out of a hostel called Family Trekking Guesthouse in the Old City area of Chiang Mai

| This was a nice afternoon walk into the Doi Suthep National Park just outside of Chiang Mai. |
 |

| A little girl from the Karen village we visited. Her white dress indicates she's still on the market. |
 |
| This woman was delighted to have tourists to buy her scarves |
 |
| Little did she know, I would have been more likely to buy her pipe |
 |
| Weaving the scarves |
 |
| Catching larvae and tadpoles for dinner |
 |
| A little hillside construction |
 |
| These bamboo logs were less than a year old when they were cut down |

| Soon after this picture was taken, our guide jumped off to scare away a dog. Our elephant was afraid of dogs. |

| When I say "The worst spanking of my life" I mean it. I discovered that my posterior has turned a lovely shade of purple since this jump. |
