If you
are looking for a true adventure, you should try the
Thailand jungle; there are no dangerous animals here
but the slippery mountains, the flora, the humidity,
the heat and the slopes offer enough adrenaline for
those who are not from Thailand.
The trip can start
with truck ride on the mountains’ road to the Pai
region. The left right movements of the truck may
cause you motion sickness.
When you will stop for
lunch you will be simply amazed by the spectacular
view, with the deep valleys and rolling mountains
covered by the lush jungle, all green.
Before
entering in the Thailand jungle, you can go through
the Huey Nam Dang National |
|
Park and enjoy
the fresh and cool water of waterfalls. If you intend to
spend the night in jungle, be sure you have a flashlight
with you because the moonlight absence makes the night even
darker. You will experience a relaxing sleep in the jungle’s
heart, away from the noisy traffic and crowded Bangkok. Take
some blankets with you because in the mountains is
very cold during the night, even if it is jungle.
 |
You will have
the chance to see the Thai jungle’s inhabitants, the Lisu,
starting their everyday activities very early in the
morning. Their simple
life in the nature’s heart, so far away from
technical and electrical things will make you envy
these people. Watching the Lisu preparing their
breakfast, washing the clothes or cleaning the huts,
with their children playing around them is a memory
to keep forever. Other amazing picture is to see
women with their face red as beet and all covered in
the red mud, with some leaves hats on their heads,
in the Thailand jungle’s middles, right in a
monsoon. |
You can
try the experience of riding on an elephant’s back,
with passenger sits; from there you can enjoy the
entire view, the jungle’s lushness and the rivers’
power.
The elephants are very used to these places so if you notice
that a hill is on your way, with very narrow trails that
pass through trees, don’t worry that the elephant will not
fit.
|
The
elephants can move like the models on the cat walk,
putting their feet gracefully one in front of the
other and making a narrow path only, instead of a
much larger one as everyone would expect. Or maybe
you want to experience a river trip with a raft; in
this case be ready to feel the raft floating on the
water’s surface and shaking you. The most of your
adventure on the river you will spend on the raft
trying to use the bamboo poles at steering and
pushing the raft on the river. After this Thai
jungle trip you will realise how many people can
survive and live in these places and their way of
life will be a true inspiration for you. |

The jungle
has the gift of making a person more humble and of lifting
his spirit.
