The girl that really rocked my trip walked in the door with a burst of energy, she was smiling, she had mascara on and she looked Thai. I found it rather weird for a Thai girl to go for these sort of activity alone
A Google map view of different routes down Doi Suthep hill!! 25kilometers of downhill cycling!I later spoke to the girl, AK and found that she is Japanese! There was another Asian chick, 30 year old S from China who is married to a Brit. The three of us were like kindergarten bestfriends on the ride! Hahaha
After the short briefing by the owner, a white guy, we were off to the mountain! In the picture above, is S and her hubby
AK on the right and me on the left of the picture above =)
The other songtao. We drove through the city and then to the mountains, windy roads!
Hold on tight!The driver drove fast, i had to camwhore despite the speed
We went past the temple on Doi Suthep, our ride is even further uphill than the tourist attraction!They did tell us to go to the toilet in the centre at the city. I asked if there was a toilet later on and the guide said 'everywhere' is the toilet!
I was surprised that we just stopped there by the road. Both songtaos and this is it, the location, the beginning of our ride! The guys peed by the roadside!
For some reason it got all misty and gloomy! Like a movie scene!
Took lots of pictures in between putting on our equipment. They assigned a bike to each of us
Though the Mountain Biking company is owned by a white, the actual activity is totally run by local Thais. Very professional and good Thai people =)
They lined us up and briefed us. And told us to each practice!
Ride over those branches! Wont lie to u, i was a little scared! But did it anyway! Hahaha, it was really bumpy!
The girls on route 1: M from Britain, AK from Japan, yours truly from Malaysia and S from China
AK took a picture for me =) And off we go!!!
Through the muddy puddle and beyond! Adventure of a lifetime!

Looks mighty interesting. It kinda reminds me of my good old days when I was in primary and riding around with a mountain bike and then building our own sand dunes and riding over it, trying to get some air from it.
