9 Mituna Hotel Lampang

... br><br>The hot springs, like most hot springs smell of sulphur or rotten eggs. You find many Thai families enjoying the evening socializing with one another and of course, boiling their egg baskets in the hot springs. <br><br>Today was a day I would have back at home. I had my nails filled and a pedicure. This is first service I have found in Thailand to be more expensive. A fill cost $20 US, rather pricey in comparison to Thai standards. Anna and I ...

... I am not on the eley my butt cheeks pulse at the same walking pace as the eley. So bizarre to sit down to eat and your butt cheeks pulsing...ahhhh too hard to explain....you gotta experience it... So off we went got on and now we take them back thru a nice trail and river to the main refuge center.....time for the eley show...fist up the eley baths...now my eley is a star of the show...so she is in...but I can't do it...my ass is too sore...so chad fills in for me ...

... we got clean mahout outfits to put on yayyyyy. So I try to get back on the scooter as does Shauna as she is hurtin big time too.....and we head to the jungle for you guessed it.....find eley....beat as much muck off....get chains.....try damdest to get on....ride around jungle grazing...then...to bath. funny thing this time...John Shaunas mahout does not get on...so she is flying solo....and her eley knew it..I sorry to say it again....but laughed my ass off as she hung on ...

... she wants more than one and keeps pointing at my juggler with a trunk with 40000 muscles that can give a flea a vasectomy blindfolded no prob, she gets more than one. Eley one...new mahout zero! So seriously sitting on my Eley is coolo and Shauna is having a blast...you learn to say "BAE!!!!" a lot... it means go. They are eating machines and getting us anywhere is secondary to the machine.....so you say Bae a lot...and they get tired of hearing it ...

... the red harvest moon. The next evening it was indeed red again. That must be a lucky omen! We fed the 3 baby elephants, toured the hospital and learned to make beautiful paper from elephant dung. When I heard that Pratidah was 10 months pregnant, I was surprised to learn that the gestation period for elephants is 22 months! We stayed at camp the night before our course and came to Chiang Mai by taxi, in the evening ...

... izjema je le VIP razred, ki je seveda precej drazji. Posebnost medkrajevnih avtobusov 2. razreda je tudi v tem, da imajo mnogo postankov na katerih pridejo na avtobus prodajalci razlicne hrane, pijac ter vseh mogocih izdelkov. 10. Skytrain je odlicna oblika prevoza potnikov v Bangkoku in ne samo zaradi tega, ker je voznja z vlakom 30 metrov nad tlemi zelo hitra, ampak ker ponuja tudi odlicne razglede na celotno mesto. Gradnja dvignjene proge se nadaljuje sirom ...

... find. Everything was top notch and straight away we felt comfortable. The dentist had perfect English and really knew what he was at. (we later saw one of his diplomas on the wall-UCLA!) So after a thorough cleaning and x-rays we were advised that Maria should have here left wisdom teeth removed and that I needed 3 fillings. My fillings took 1 hour total and her extractions less than 45 minutes which is kind of ridiculous when you compare it to home. Add in the fact that the whole ...

... first exercise was elephant training. That is to say, the elephants trained us, because they already knew everything and we didn't even know how to correctly pronounce the Thai words. The training wasn't too rigorous, and most of it was fun. My least favorite part was the order to crawl down the side of the standing elephant. She still made a little step for me, but the only really useable one was her ankle, and it was far from my legs, and most of the ...

... s head and she doesn't even seem to notice. After this exercise, the mahout's walked the elephants down the road to the bathing area. We didn't know exactly what was going to happen. But it turned out that we (and the elephants) were going to get a bath. And a bunch of tourists were going to watch us. The bell rang and all the elephants headed for the water. They waded in and then the mahouts told them to sit down. They immersed ...

... Cambodia? But your Map Pin thing says Chiang Mai. Isn't that in Thailand? How very observant of you. Go have a cookie. One with big chocolate chunks and maybe even a few nuts. Better yet, go get a decent steak. You don't know how good it is until you're eating garbage fed water buffalo. I am incapable of writing about a place while I'm in it. Therefore, I write later. Later typically necessitates a change in location, and hense I find ...
