Veraktas, Chiang Mai

i'd like to give a blow-by-blow account of everything that happened on the trip, but condensing 18 days worth into a few paragraphs wouldn't do the trip any justice. so i'll let the pictures do the talking (well it's also an excuse to not type so much). be warned though, a barrage of photos are coming your way. am too lazy to make a collage, so i just uploaded them, lazy blogger style. didn't bother with flickr (and yes now i know how people upload pictures using blogger, surprise surprise)


view from our tent. a true vantage point *snigger snigger*


A Lahu storyteller


with eyes that watch the world






children from the Lahu village


the Shan kids at our day camp


watching the sunset, campsite


destination: Beautiful



i love Thailand's sky. the first few days saw skies without a single cloud- Gorgeous Blue Sky. i think it makes sunrises and sunsets even more colourful. lovely hues of orange, red, pink.. purple even, if you're lucky






on the way to doi suthep. view of chiang mai at some ungodly hour


yet another lovely sunset

and last but not least, P! our lovely van driver who went out of his way to take us around. without him, we wouldn't have seen the lovely fireworks on the King's birthday :) (of which i have no photos of because i left the camera in his van. askadjkfasklfas oh well
