This is the first in a new Photo Essay series I’m going to be doing. I’ve got literally thousands of travel pictures rotting away in my albums and I feel it’s time to breathe some life into them, I’ll be uploading the large size pictures.
If you haven’t guessed already the first pictorial topic is Jungle Trekking in the hills around Chiang Mai, Thailand…

Hey hey!

Beautiful pictures! Me and a friend are in Chiang Mai right now and want to do a hilltribe trekking. We’re wondering which company you did the trekking with and in which area. This one looks very nice!
Thanks, bye Tessa
