RE: Traveling to Southeast Asia: Elephants and cooking in Chiang Mai
That place looks awesome. Maybe I'll take my wife there for an anniversary trip some year. I think she would especially love the elephants.
I think the dog WAS loving his ride.
And we have those spiders here in Florida. Or at least something very similar. I spent months freaking out about them (I worked in the woods and they were EVERYWHERE) because people called them "banana spiders" which as far as I knew were highly venomous to people. Turns out they are a completely harmless species, they are just huge and everywhere.
I can certainly recommend Chiang Mai and it's surroundings! You can do so many things there or just chill in one of the nice juice bars, it's hard not to get stuck ^^
Machete our guide told us that they were completely harmless, but we still kept our distance because we were sceptical just like you.
