Čo robiť v Doi Tung

Tento narychlo zvolený výlet na Doi Tung a Mae Salong bol úžasný. Ďakujem nášmu sprievodcovi za bezpečnú jazdu cez silný dážď a za to, že nás všade sprevádzal. Elegantná vila thajskej kráľovskej rodiny bola pekná, ale najviac sa mi páčila dedina Pha Hee. Aj keď sme nemohli vidieť celý život ľudí z kmeňa Akha, bol to čas na zamyslenie sa nad rôznymi životnými osudmi pri pohľade na pokojnú horskú dedinku. Úchvatná scenéria z kaviarne Forest Cafe a ich káva boli taktiež vynikajúce. Prechádzajúc cez pohraničnú oblasť medzi Thajskom a Mjanmarskom bolo zaujímavé vidieť, aká nenáročná môže byť štátna hranica. Strážny pes na thajskej strane bol čierny a ten na mjanmarskej žltý!

didn’t realise the hike was through about 2h of dense jungle! was a bit challenging especially with the rainy season making the narrow paths very muddy and soft. plus the crazy mossies attacking us thru our clothing whenever we stopped moving. definitely need proper hiking attire, shoes, strong legs and a good sense of balance when doing this hike during the rainy season. Baht our guide was quite funny and very informative about the jungle flora and fauna. perhaps may have been good if he provided a bit more support to the weaker hikers especially during the more precarious parts of the trail. although the narrow paths made it difficult at times. lunch at the village was better than expected. we were too exhausted to walk much more after lunch, and thankfully they adapted the tour to have a pickup truck send us nearer the waterfall and then at the rice/corn fields.
