As you may have noticed by the pictures I've been posting recently, I have rediscovered how much I love rock climbing. I am spending most of my free time either at the local climbing gym, or on the weekends I am out at the crag (where the rock climbing is outside). The crag, called Crazy Horse, is about an hour east of Chiang Mai through some scenic pastoral Thai farmlands. I really like going out there with a few people I met at the climbing gym and just spending the day there. It's very peaceful in the forest, and even more so when you are 20 meters up and it's just you and the mountain. All this rediscovery has prompted me to decide on what kind of travelling I want to do after the school year ends. I had been thinking about where to go between the end of school and my flight home for a while, and wasn't coming up with anything. Then, after I began rock climbing again, I decided I would take a trip to southern Thailand, specifically the area of Krabi, Railay, and Ton Sai. This is supposedly some of the best climbing in the world, and already being in Thailand, I thought it would be stupid not to head down there and check it out. There will definitely be pictures of that when it happens.
In addition to my decision to travel down south, I also decided I needed to visit Bangkok. Coming to Thailand without seeing Bangkok did not seem right, either. If everything works out, two friends of mine will be coming with me to Bangkok on their way somewhere else. So we will all spend a few days in Bangkok before heading our separate ways. It should be a lot of fun, and I'm excited to see the city and what it has to offer.
That's about it for now. I also decided I want to start taking mini road trips along nearby highways and bring my camera. Once you get out of the city proper, there is a lot of countryside to see. Some of it is pretty spectacular. Hopefully I can fit everything in before my time here ends.
