Our home on Lake Kew LomChiang Mai (pronounced 'chang-my'), is in the north of Thailand. It has lots of hills, mountains, forests and rivers, and is cooler than the south.
Chiang Mai is near the borders of Myanmar (Burma) and Laos. This means that the city has always been very busy with trade from other countries. There is another - very big - country near the north of Thailand which also traded in Chaing Mai - can you guess which country that is? (clue : it has lots of tea!).
There are also lots of tribes living in the hills near Chiang Mai. They all have their own language, customs and way of dressing.
We went camping for a few days on lake Kew Lom in the Lampang province. We moved around the lake on a bamboo rafthouse. We did lots of activities, like rock climbing, kayaking, fishing and swimming - not to mention karaoke in the evening! It was just like a Squad activity weekend!
Me rock climbing!Next we are taking an overnight train back to Bangkok - I'll send you a postcard when I'm there!
Take Care
