The first trip the tree of us did together was to Kanchanabury -the tiger tempel. What can I tell you besides that it was amazing? We also did our first hitch hike there- as we took local buses with many many thai people- I was sitting right next to the driver on the thing that you are not supposed to sit on :) he dropped us off somewhere along the road and told us we had to walk to sideroad to the tiger tempel- about 4km. lucky pigs as we are... we hitch hiked with the first pick up that stopped along the way :) On the way back we got picked up by a tour and paid them to take us straight to Bangkok.
We then headed to Chaing Mai -which we liked but more the surrounding than the actual city. We did a one day tour- starting in the morning with bamboo rafting, an elephant tour afterwards, a small trekking to the waterfall, saw some rice-fields and overall the trip was well worth the time and money spend. Chiang Mai has different markets every day of the week- so we went crazy with the shopping options and discovered many thai food deliacies... such as ant-eggs in an omlett (I cut out on that one, Tati and Karo can tell you more about that... but as they didnt finish their shared portion I assume it was rather... unenjoyable).
