5 THINGS NOT TO MISS - CHIANG RAI I had 2 days h 5 THINGS NOT TO MISS - CHIANG RAI 

I had 2 days here and I honestly wish I had more, there is so much to see within the city of Chiang Rai and the outskirts! 

Things to do ⬇️

▫️White Temple - probably the most famous in Thailand 
▫️Blue Temple - Incredible colours/architecture 
▫️Lalitta Cafe - A mystical fairy land 
▫️The Goddess of Mercy 
▫️Baan Dam Museum - An interesting experience 

How to get around Chiang Rai? 

🛵 Rent a scooter, Grab Taxis, Local Bus, Cycle or Walk 

I’ll have a few blog posts coming up in the next few weeks with more details about visiting Chiang Rai 👩‍💻

@chailaiorchid is on of the ethical places in Chiang Mai where you can have epic experiences with elephants 

I rented a room and got the ‘elephant breakfast’ experience where I had elephants come to my room and I fed them breakfast - it was honestly epic 🤩

Highly recommend coming here! All the money spent here goes back towards the community and to charity, all of the elephants are also rescued 

Would you do this experience?

Last couple days of the Everest circuit bringing i Last couple days of the Everest circuit bringing in the views and memories 🤩

Made it to EBC! (Everest Base Camp, pictures 2,3,4). I must say, very underwhelming experience to get there 😅

Massive achievement for myself and those who get there though! 

But the area itself doesn’t offer the best views in the region, it’s a fight to get a photo at a graffitied stone that says “everest base camp” and the whole experience felt very commercial. 

Still happy I did it and was able to tick this off with my best friend @alexgallo 

17 days hiking with a solid team and a bunch of legends 🥾

Crossing the Cho La Pass has to be one of the hard Crossing the Cho La Pass has to be one of the hardest things I have done to date 

This was a BIG mental and physical struggle. I have climbed higher and hardest mountains before, but this took it out of me. 

Maybe it was the fact I wasn’t on diamox, Maybe it was the lack of oxygen, 
Maybe it was the fact I had been trekking for 21 days already 

Nether the less this was a massive achievement for myself! 

Big thanks to @alexgallo for helping me get through one of my hardest days of trekking ❤️

Gokyo lakes - one of most scenic places in the Eve Gokyo lakes - one of most scenic places in the Everest Region 🤩

We headed into this area on day 8 of our 17 days trek - it is worth the hype.

We were blessed with beautiful (but cold weather), and clear sky’s when hiking Gokyo Ri 5483m 

Gokyo Ri is the best view point in the region with incredible 360 views. It’s a hard, steep hike up there but well worth it!

If you come to the Everest region of Nepal - make sure you don’t miss Gokyo!
