Northern Thailand – Backpaking

Welcome to Northern Thailand Story

It’s been already 7 years since I have visited Thailand. In this photo story you can see Elephant Tour (Riding Elephant, feeding, walking around mountains…) and National park visit where tradional coffee agriculture still continues…

Elephant Tour

Long long time ago I have done this tour, it was awesome and I didn’t feel/see any bad behaviour (Animal abuse) from people to elephants… But few years later I have read that those type of experiences are not good for animals!… I wouldn’t do it again this tour! If you are thinking about this type of tour make sure that there is no ABUSE!

Natıonal Park & Locals

I’m not sure if anybody is still using Couchsurfing (After airbnb I guess it’s falling) but at that time it was amazing way to meet locals, travel around with them and also save money…

Coffee Beans & Betel Chew

National park stands 1,000m above sea level, Ban Huai Hom and is surrounded by rolling mountains and trees. The village location and pleasant weather, which is about 20C on average all-year round, are suitable factors for growing coffee and rearing sheep.
