Chaing Mai

I know the post says Chaing Mai, but we also went to a place called Kanchanaburi which is about two and half hours away from Bangkok. We went to a place called Erawan Falls. This water fall has seven tiers that you can hike up and then bathe in the pools in between. I am proud to say that I made up six and half of the tiers. The last part involved some climbing so Auburn and stayed while Simon went to the top. It was really quite beautiful. It is a place that a lot of local Thais go on the weekend. I picked pictures without other people in them, but it was pretty full the day we went.

I think this was the fourth level.

Isn't she adorable?

Chaing Mai

Chaing Mai is in the northern part of Thailand. We got a sweet deal on some airline tickets and flew out of Bangkok. We went to an elephant camp, the zoo and saw a ton of cool Wats. At the elephant camp we saw the elephants bathe, play soccer, paint and put on a little show. We were also able to ride an elephant. It was pretty cool.


Simon getting some love from the elephants.

Auburn really liked the elephants. She kept calling them "dogs". That is what she calls almost every animal that has four legs.

We went to the zoo. It was unimpressive, but Auburn didn't really care. She loved seeing the animals and playing on the playground.

Doi Suthep

It is a Wat in the mountains and is one of the most sacred sites in Thailand for Buddhists.

There was some type of religious celebration going on while we were there, but we had no idea what it was.
