Elephant painting.
Me & Bev with the elephants (which we got to ride later on - show you the pics when we get home!)
Riding the Ox carts to see the Lisu hill tribe people.
Maetang
- Elephant show
- Ox-cart riding up to the Lisu hill tribe village
- Elephant riding
- Bamboo rafting
After driving an hour up into the mountains we reached Maetang, where the elephants play football and paint pictures of other elephants (apparently they dont like the jungle anymore *cough* and have a good relationship with the people *cough* *cough*).
Mum, look away now - we then jumped an ox cart ride over to the Lisu hill tribe village, looked like a film set and pretty hard to imagine people still live in a traditional wooden hut.
Mum, ok to look now (she once had an "adventure" with an ox cart up a Greek mountainside, lets not mention any more.. apart from you should have taken the horse!).
The elephants took us through the rainforest, mainly so they could stop around every corner and eat the bananas! Then dropped us off for bamboo rafting along the river and rapids.
10min drive later...
Chiang Mai
- Orchid & butterfly farm
- Back to hotel for swim & steam
- Dinner at the night bazaar food market
- Muai Thai cocktails at the Imperial
The orchid farm wasn't much to shout about, and the butterfly farm had at least 3 butterflys. There was also snake and monkey shows.. I don't think they liked the jungle any more either *wink*. Back at the hotel and a quick swim and chill out in the steam room, we decided it would only be right to finish the day with a Muai Thai at the Imperial Mai Ping Hotel in the centre of Chiang Mai.
