After the tropical jungles of Malaysia, you’d have thought I’d had enough to sweating out in mosquito ridden areas, but there is something quite natural and rewarding about trekking out in nature. So I went out to a jungle in northern Thailand this time.

Riding the Elephant
Northern Thailand is a complete contrast of the south which is known for it’s islands and beaches: the north is where you go for the jungle and trekking. This also means encounters with wild animals, one of the more well known in Thailand is the elephant, meaning opportunities to get on board and ride one through the Jungle.

There are many things which fly in the jungle. Mosquitos is probably the first that comes to mind (can you sense the bitterness here?), exotic birds next, and maybe even flying squirrels. Humans is not normally on the list, but I went to add it to the list with the jungle flight tour.

They call it the Grand Palace, the name I think is totally justified. Covering 218,000 square metres surrounded by 4 walls and completed around 1782. It was built for King Rama I’s ascension to the throne. Before this the royal palace and centre of administration was located in Thonburi. For many reasons the King decided this old location was not appropriate anymore to set up the new capital the City of Angels: Bangkok.
