Location: Golden Triangle, Thailand
Yesterday i did an awesome tour!!! First we went to hot springs.
I was so excited i wore my bikini, brought a towel and everything only to find
out that it is 90 degrees and they cook/boil eggs in the water. So i didn't get
to go in.
Then we went to a 1200 year old city called Chiang Saen. The coolest part of the
tour was the Golden triangle. We did a boat ride down the Mae Kong river (it goes
all the way to china). The golden triangle is where Thailand, Laos and Burma (myanmar)
all meet. We went to Laos for a bit and went to a village where we played with
a baby bear and some monkeys. They have snake whiskey, I'm not kidding when i
tell u the whiskey comes with snakes in it!! ITS SO SICK. I almost bought one
but it made me to nauseous so i bought a Laos pencil and some dried pineapple
instead lol.
After that we went to the Myanmar border. Its pretty sad.. there
are tons of poor children running in the streets and they are so cute, and beg
you for money. I gave some of them money. Then we went to 3 Tribal villages. The
Akha, Yau, and Long necks Tribes. The long necks were quite the site! It was cool
to learn about them because in their culture b4 a man and woman get married they
have to go to a sex teacher. They each have to have sex with their teacher before
they can have sex with each other. If the teacher gets pregnant with the mans
baby she can keep it but no longer be a teacher, or she can get rid of the baby
and remain a teacher. Once the Long necks are married The women make all of the
decisions and can have as many husbands as they want.
Any ways.. I haven't partied
much here in Chiang Mai. Its been a pretty chill couple of days. Me some Awesome
people! After i get back to Bangkok I'm going to meet up with Tara in Koh Chang
an island a few hours away from Bangkok, And Probably see Gabby on the way. On
the 11th my 30 day Thai visa is expired so I'm gonna header to Bali baby! Even
tho i hear the toilet there are worse than here. Although my legs are getting
tighter from the squatting lol.
