Here is a video recap of our whole Thailand trip!
We unfortunately spent all of December 28th, 2011 traveling from Koh Samui to Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. Our first full day in Chiang Mai we woke up and took a ‘red car’ to the Buddhist temple, Wat Prathat Doi Suthep, on the mountain top of Doi Suthep.

There are about 300 steps up to the temple where people try and sell you everything. We then took our shoes off to enter this temple covered in gold. From the top you can see the view of Chiang Mai city. Before going back down we took a few pictures with some of the adorable Thai children.
That night we checked out the amazing night market where you can buy anything and everything.
The next day we took a trip to the Elephant camp just outside of Chiang Mai. Here we got to ride elephants and feed them bananas.
We then went on a short hike through the jungle up to Mae sa waterfall where we took a quick dip and then headed back. We then went white water rafting down the Mae rim and then took a short ’bamboo submarine’ ride. It was supposed to be a bamboo raft but we spent the entire time half submerged in the water. We then made the trek back to Chiang Mai.
The next day was new years eve and we took a tuk tuk ride to Tiger Kingdom.
Here we got to sit and play with tigers from 2-3 months old all the way up to adults. It was an amazing experience and so much fun.
Later that night we went out in the old city of Chiang Mai where we spent the night meeting new people, lighting off paper lanterns and watching the fireworks to bring in the new year!
Again, below is my video recapping our amazing experience in Thailand!
