Chiang Mai- Mae Sa Waterfall

Next stop- Mae Sa Waterfall

This was so incredible and quite honestly one of my favorite days. We love waterfalls. I mean we have been to Havasupai several times to enjoy the beauty of these bad boys.... and it is NO BREEZE getting there.

Mae Sa waterfall consisted of 10 different falls. You just keep hiking upwards and come across all of them in order. It was AMAZING! 

I know everyone is probably getting sick of all the pictures that I post, but holy crap... I loved this place! So get over it or get off my blog. ;) hahaha, Just kidding.




I LOVE this picture. I'm not one to toot my own horn, but this chick has got it going on. :) lol



I have always been one to toot Rhetts' horn. Just check out that post deployment body. Yikes. Watch out single ladies. This hot stud is back on the market! Heartbreaker. :) Yep, that's my baby daddy! 




Holy smokes we are good looking- hahaha 

Ok. I'll stop, but you get the point. :) In fact.... these pictures are too good to not make them all large. Enjoy the beauty of not only the couple, but also the amazing scenery. Absolutely breathtaking. I wish we had had all day to spend playing in the waterfalls. Definitely a must see if you go to Chiang Mai, Thailand.


Mmm... salivating a little!




Found a swing. :)


Found a monkey!




Yeah, so Rhett has me go up and PRETEND to pull this large stick out. The sticks I guess were the only thing holding up these large boulders. Anyway, right as I go to touch it..... it budges. Yes, you heard me right people. That stick budged!!! I shot down the rocks like no bodies business. I only looked back once to make sure I wasn't going to get squished. Rhett thought it was hilarious! I lost 10 years of my life. Not funny!


Rhett said he would give me 5 bucks to jump in. Anyway that knows me knows that I love a good bet and I'll do pretty much anything for 5 bucks. ;)

Speaking of bets. Rhett bet me $100 that our good friends The Levy family say their name Levy with a short e sound. He was 100% positive. I know that they said it like LeeVee so I took that bet in a heart beat. It was either $100 or to shave off an eyebrow. Loser got to pick. Totally won!!! Oh, and I made that little studball pay up too. :)



Ok, so I love a good hike and I NEVER well, nearly never complain.... especially not on FILM. Rhett just got lucky with this shot. I turned around to complain about all the stairs and he snagged this beauty of me pouting. Dang it. I should have just deleted it to keep my reputation spot clean, but enjoy. Here is my pouting face! lol


There's the smile. That's because we reached THE END! :)


It was seriously such a fun morning. I was so bummed we had to catch a flight out a little later so I couldn't stay and play as long as I would have liked, but I am so glad we were able to go to see all the waterfalls. What a beautiful place. Thailand.... you are AWESOME with capital A.

Chiang Mai- Flying Squirrels (Zip-Lining)

Next stop- Flying Squirrels
(Zip-lining Adventure)

This was also such a blast. 

It was the ultimate zip-lining adventure complete with 14 ziplines
(one 600 M, one 400 M, and one 300 M)
2 Abseils
1 Highlight Bicycle 
1 Sky Walk Burmese Bridge
2 Walking Bridges
2 Spider and Cargo Nets
1 Skateboard
1 Hill tribe Swing Bridge 
1 Zodiac Bridge
and 
1 Slide to the end!

Seriously such a freaking blast.

I loved that is was up in the forest and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. The 600 M zip line was the coolest thing ever. You are seriously going forever. Just zipping through the trees. 


On the truck up to the start



 



The bicycle was scary as crap. You have to pedal across that small bridge.



Sometimes on the heavier people our poor guide had to send them off and then hop on the wire to make sure they made it all the way across.




This was the skateboard one. It was definitely interesting and I'm happy to say I killed it. Thanks Carter for making me go outside and rip stick with you guys providing me some balance on the board. :)







Thankfully the cargo net was going down not up. We had some people in our group that would have taken years to go up the cargo net. lol



lol, this was the slide to the end. It literally was a steep slide. They put you in a little bag and then give you a shove. I was laughing like crazy. 


My favorite thing was the DOUBLE zipline. Rhett and I held onto each and got to go at the same time. I don't have any pictures because we took a video. I will have to see if I can post it. It really was super fun! 

Chiang Mai- Tiger Kingdom

Next stop- Tiger Kingdom
(COOLEST EXPERIENCE EVER)

Okay, so this was the thing I was the very most excited about. I mean, who doesn't want to get in and play with tigers? It was seriously the coolest thing I have ever done. We got to pick whether we wanted to go in with the baby tigers, medium tigers, or large adult tigers. 

Umm, NOT a hard decision.
 Baby tigers are just like cats and who wants to hang out with teenage anything? If I'm going to risk my life to play with tigers I'm going to jump in with both feet and play with the biggest, baddest cats they have. :)

My heart was pounding as we signed our release to NOT SUE if we get hurt or die. YIKES! Then, there were signs everywhere that said, "Do not put anything in the tigers cage." Ok, but we are going to go inside? I thought Rhett was going to flake out. He was so freaking scared the entire time that we were in there. I was having the time of my life. It was truly the coolest experience ever. 

I took a billion pictures because I wanted to document our last moments of life. :)



The guide kept telling me to pull it's tail. I was like, "What?" lol


Yeah, so I am glad that I was focussed on making a mustache for myself with his tail because if I had looked over and seen those teeth I may have ran right out of the cage. lol











Rhett snuggling up to it.

Haha. He looks so nervous. He was looking at the guide to make sure it was ok that the tiger was looking over at him. I thought he was going to bolt for sure.


Roaring contest. I'm going to give this one to the tiger.





Nap Time!

Most of the tigers were awake while we were there, but this guy was totally asleep. They do absolutely NO drugging of the tigers at the Tiger Kingdom, but the hours of operation is usually during the tigers down time. They are a lot more active in the evening and at night. They mostly want to sleep during the day. We were lucky to have gone at evening so we got to really play with the tigers because they were awake. It was AWESOME!!



Opening up for a dental exam from Rhett. :) Look at those beauties!



I'm pretty sure Rhett was trying to ask the tiger if he was going to eat him. :)


I loved it so much. What a cool way to spend the afternoon. We also got to walk around and see all the other tigers. They also had a freaking HUGE lion there. 



Rhett really needed a drink when we got out to calm his nerves. I think the sprite really hit the spot. :)
