Today we went mountain biking with on an organised tour. We went in a pick-up van 5400 feet into the Chaingmai mountains then cycled down to a beautiful coffee plantation where we had freshly ground coffee. We then split off into a group with a guide and a lovely Canadian couple.
We took a steep dirt and rock track through fruit and vegetable plantations (bananas, herbs, corn, mandarins – all previously opium before a plan by the King). We went past small farm shacks and met some children and some cockerels. The views all the way down were stunning and we could see in the distance at 1200 feet where we were to stop for lunch. We made it down in one piece and sat in a hut over the lake to eat a lovely lunch.
In the evening we had a thai massage which is kind off cross between and normal massage and a chiropractor.
hehe... looks serious fun! Was one of my highlights of Changmai! - Weaver
