I Went Through Thailand on a Horse with No Name

My cousin Dante has come to meet me in Thailand. We have heard that one night in Bangkok makes a hard man crumble. This is actually false, it takes 3. After waking up one morning with bits of fried grasshopper in my teeth (eaten the night before), we realized the city was too much, and we fled northwards for peace.

When deposited into a mountain/jungle paradise such as northern Thailand, what do you do? Get massages? Take a yoga course or a cooking course? No. You rent motorcycles and you terrorize the countryside. It rocked. We swam in waterfalls, climbed through caves, drove around elephants, jumped over fences, and obviously, sampled local beverages. Several things on my to-do list have now been crossed off. See below.

Ride an elephant. check.
See an elephant play harmonica and demostrate the doppler effect simultaneously. check.

Ride motorcycle in a place that is not Manila. check.

Hi-five the king of Thailand. Not check off yet.
One night left, hopefully i can make those last two happen.
