A Free and Easy trip to Chiang Mai together with my brothers to witness the Thailand famous Loy Krathong festive held every November, the second coolest thing that we do other than Loy Krathong festival was Lahu village. Lahu village is a hill tribe settlement up in the lush green hills between Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, where took us about 3 hours to hike up to the top of the hill from Shan Village Elephant Camp.

What make our trip unforgettable was the nice scenic view, the friendly people and the foods especially the steamboat meal that we had beside the river together with our local’s friend Peng’s family! I would say this is a pretty successful trip in Chiang Mai!
