With mental business and meetings all morning, I was ready to throw the white towel for the day and so while my colleague were preoccupied toiling with their day to day operation, I quietly walked out, feeling some guilt, the building in my running gear and hit the trail.

Beside the night market, cooking class, street food, and Thai massage, trekking in the deep jungle of Chiang Mai is by far my most memorable experience. Right after we checked-in to our hotel for the next 5 days stay in Chiang Mai, we wandered in the city center looking for things to do, right there we found a two nights and three days trekking activity, that involved hiking in the deep jungle and through villages, staying overnight with local host family and rafting. The following day, we joined nine other people who were visiting from other parts of the world, a group from England and a couple from Canada and a local guide at the back of a 4x4 pick up truck, holding tightly on the hand rail as we traverse the rugged dirt road on the way to the trail head where we started a long descending hike.
