Seems the best way to travel is using the red songtheaws, kind of like a shared taxi with bench seats in the back.
I've contacted a couple of tour guides to book a trip up the mountain to see Doi Suthep and maybe visit some local tribes. We'd also like to do a half day cooking class and I'm working on everyone to come on the jungle zip lines.
Another string to my bow is I've been trying to upload some old holiday videos so I can add them onto this site. Without paying the premium monthly fee I'm limited to setting up a youtube channel and posting them from there. Check it out - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcxa2zrdVlL_toltalwfu5w There will me more added in time and hopefully lots once we get to Thailand. Just like the Perahera video from Kandy I hope to include some content that is useful to travellers and lets people see what we have been up to.
