Mga bagay na dapat gawin sa Doi Tung Royal Villa

The Doi Tung & Mae Salong trip, chosen at the last minute, was truly wonderful. I'm grateful to our guide for the comfortable driving through the pouring rain and for showing us around. While the elegant Thai Royal Residence was lovely, the most memorable place was the Pha Hi village. Although we couldn't see every aspect of the Akha people's lives, it was a time for reflection, looking down peacefully at the hill tribe village and contemplating diverse ways of life. The scenic views and coffee at Forest Cafe were also delicious. It was fascinating to see such an easily crossed border while passing through the Thailand-Myanmar border region. The Thai border dog was black, and the Myanmar border dog was yellow!

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.
