What to do in Chiang Mai
So is almost $200 worth it for 3 days 2 nights at an elephant reserve learning about and taking care of elephants? Or $150 for 2 days 1 night? Thats what I thought. Well I'm thinking about it. The guy from Fredericksburg running the guesthouse I'm at now in Chiang Mai said there is a couple coming back from the elephant park this evening and I could talk to them about it. If I don't want to go then I will go on a trek for a few days. But to go back to Bangkok and tell my ultimate frisbee peers and my friends coming down from Beijing for the hat tournament that I learned how to feed elephants and then clean up their you know what? Maybe thats priceless. ......Now its 30 minutes later and I've walked along the river at Chiang Mai and the guy at the guesthouse has made one of the treks that he can sign me up for sound pretty enticing at only almost $40. And you get to ride elephants along the way. Hmm.

Hey Greg,
Is the person running the guesthouse actually from Fredericksburg, VA? Small world! Is he Chinese or American or Chinese-American?
He's from south of Fredericksburg, VA. I think around Spotsylvania maybe. He's an American guy that could be a cousin of Jerry Garcia. He uses a wheelchair and has a bunch of minority workers that aren't actually Thai. Some are Burman refugees and some are from the hill tribe villages (which aren't recognized as Thai by Thailand).
