    We went on a short one night, two day trek. Although it had a slow start (poor food and zoo-like exposure to Karen hill tribes), the Trek ended strong with a hiking, an elephant ride, and river rafting on the second. It’s a reasonable thing to do if you’re on a short schedule, but if you have time I’d recommend going deeper into the activities you’re interested in (there’s plenty of rock climbing, rafting, and other activities in the area).

We arrived just after midnight, but the party was still going strong. The drunken crowds on the street reminded me of Mardi Gras in New Orleans — Mardi Gras may have even had fewer tourists.
