Hiking at Doi Suthep

Today, Court and I did some serious hiking up around Doi Suthep. It was super hot outside, but it was a very clear day! We started around noon and then finally came back down the mountain and to the main road around 6pm. It was very challenging being as most peeps drive all the way up and we chose to be brave (or stupid) and hike up it! We made our way around the waterfalls and then up a few VERY steep sections and then around to where we found a place to chill and rest for a bit. We were definitely not the only ones there...plenty of Thais were enjoying the scenery too!



We saw that we were near the road that peeps take the little red trucks up to get to the places way on up the mountain. Well, since we were already part-way up the mountain, nobody was stopping to pick us up. So..I said, forget it, let's do this and walk up!!! This was no small task! Even the Thais were impressed! As they drove by lots of them would wave, honk, or holler at us to cheer us on! They seemed to be very surprised! That was cool and lots of fun to wave to peeps all the way up!

We got up to the main waterfalls that we really wanted to see, but unfortunately, due to the lack of rain, they were pretty pitiful. But that was OK. We enjoyed the journey!



We're worn to the bone now! Well, here are a few photos from our hike. Hope you enjoy! Click here to view our photos!
