Kelsey In Korea: 2014

Thailand Waterfall

There is a Waterfall in Chiang Mai. The cool part about this waterfall is it is more like a collection of 14 waterfalls all connected together. And you are allowed to swim in the waterfalls too! So you start at the base of the huge hill and follow the path. Every 5-10 minutes there will be a sign and a path leading away from the main path. each sign will say "waterfall level 1" and the last one says "waterfal number 14" some of the levels are more inpressive han others.And some of the levels are safer to swim in than others. The higher the number the steeper the climb. If you don't feel like going on a big hick and you just want to see and swim in a really nice waterfall then levels 5 and 6 are a perfect level to stop at. There are also great natural and man made picnicing spots all along the main path.

Orchid and Butterfly Farm

This place was so beautiful and inexpencive! You pay about 1.30 US dollars at the entrence and you get an orchid pinned to your chest. then you get to walk around on your own. You choose where you want to go and how long you want to stay there. You can also eat lunch there. There were thousands of breathe takingly beautiful orchids in hundreds of different colors! And the butterfly house was amazing! A butterfly landed on my shoulder twice and on my head once. I was able to put my hand out and the butterflies would fly over and land on it. I'm not going to lie I felt a little like Snow White in there.

Long Neck Village

The Long Neck Village is where the long neck people live as refugees. The Thailand goverment took them in when they left Burma. The tiny village is where they will live and work for the rest of their lives. The Thailand government took them in under the condition that they never leave the village aka refugee camp. The village has old fashoned hut like houses where the long neck people live. And there are about 100 stalls linning the dirt road that leads up to their temple. The stall sell handmade items and you can see the people behind the stalls makng everything. The real amazing part of the village is the women, old and youg, and their long beautiful necks. The women were all very nice. They were quick to smile and would talk in the little English that they knew. The cost to enter the village was about 6 US dollars.

Snake Tamers

I met these three snake tamers when i went to Thailand. I got there early for the show so they took me out back and showed me the snakes that would be in the show. they even let me hold a few of them!
