Counting down the days Until Chiang Mai

Sawadee Khrap from Bangkok! Aubrey and I are extremely honored to be the Chiang Mai representatives for the Ultimate Thailand Explorers contest and we CANNOT WAIT until our big trip! We are keeping ourselves very busy with working at school and training for the Bangkok Marathon this weekend (and obviously continuing to kick some tail-feathers on the ducky boats in Lumpini Park-essential to any workout).


Here is a very, very tentative itinerary for Chiang Mai, we welcome any suggestions that readers might have:
-Battle the rapids and see who wins: whitewater rafting!
-Take a meditation course, GET SPIRITUAL.
-Take a Northern Thai cooking course. I hear Northern Thai is usually not quite as spicy as the Thai food we are used to so hopefully no crying.
-Take a Thai massage course (and of course, relax with a Thai massage!)
-Visit the Elephant Nature Park, where we can help take care of abused elephants.

-Do some serious bargain shopping at Saturday and Sunday Night Walking Street Markets.

-Hot Air Balloon Ride over Chiang Mai to get a birds-eye view of the city.
-Visit the newborn baby Panda, Linbing at the Chiang Mai Zoo!

- Get dirty mountain biking through Doi Suthep.

-Take a Muay Thai Boxing Course (Aubrey is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, so I'm already a tad scared of her...this could get frightening).

-Participate in "Monk Chat". We also will take suggestions of questions to ask the monks.
-Blog about and take pictures of beautiful Chiang Mai!

We want to hear from you, what do you think?
