Do’s and Dont’s of trekking in Northern Thailand

Do bring toilet paper
Don’t believe the guides, especially when they tell you it will be a short flat trek
Do appreciate the morning roosters
Don’t kill the morning roosters
Do talk to the locals
Don’t get attached to the village dogs (Roger nooooo)
Do morning yoga with Alisha
Don’t forget to hydrate
Do ride the elephants
Don’t forget bug spray
Do your best to avoid flying elephant poo poo
Don’t drink the river water
Do embrace the sweat… the butt sweat

Overall trekking through Northern Thailand, staying with the Karen Hill Tribes, and bamboo rafting home was an unforgettable experience. We met some of the nicest people and learned more about ourselves and the group. We can’t wait to see where Thailand will take us next.

Until next time,
Maura and Parker (and kind of Kat)
