Our first night in Chiang Mai was pretty stressful but the rest of our trip has been awesome. Before going home we will travel down south to learn how to SCUBA dive.

Please bring me home a trike, like that one. I promise I’ll give you a ride down to ‘Bambi’ on it.
I edited these to highlight their awesomeness
I mean, look at this thing in its ramshackle brilliance
I would really love one of these to ride around Sawtell on.
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to fit it on the plane.
