There were four takers for our short hike this week, despite (1) the resumption of longer hikes providing a counter-attraction, (2) an early start, (3) hot weather and AQI levels approaching 200, (4) it being Easter Day, when some might have other things to do, (5) people needing to get stuff finished before the upcoming songkran holidays.

But the four of us had a nice time. Highlights included:

  • being shown the best way by a friendly farmer over a tricky stream-corner next to an orange orchard,
  • leaving an Easter gift on the trail for the main group hikers to find later,
  • re-lodging a pretty but fallen orchid by a forest track,
  • collecting seed-cases that looked like designer baskets or art-nouveau lampshades,
  • eating refreshing mulberries.

We got back to Chiang Mai around noon, feeling we had done enough to earn our naps on a hot and smoky day.

  • ABOUT CHIANG MAI HIKING

  • Hikes on this website are open to individuals, not big groups or for commercial uses.
  • There is no formal membership and no need to sign up for hikes in advance. If you want to join a hike, make sure you read the general guidance on this site and the specific hike details. Then if you still think the hike is for you, just turn up.
  • The hikes are shared experiences, not services. Every hiker remains responsible for his or her own safety, welfare and actions at all times.
  • The hikes nevertheless have a spirit of co-operation. Participants respect the leadership of the hike initator(s) and comradeship with everyone on the hike.
  • Some hikes involve car-sharing to the start point from the meeting point. This involves individual arrangements between drivers and passengers at the meeting point. It usually works fine, but places in cars cannot be absolutely guaranteed in advance.
  • You are encouraged to get involved in leading and/or creating hikes when you have some experience, or to help out in other ways.
