Is this Thailand’s most beautiful short trek? The windy road suddenly turned very bumpy. The steep climb up the muddy path was tough for our little 125 CC scooter. As we turned the corner, a stream appeared which completely crossed the path. We carefully traversed the liquid obstacle. I hung on tightly as our little […]
