Going to Thailand

I heard from an old friend in the second half of last year who moved to Thailand about 13 or 14 years ago. I've maintained contact with him over the years but never had the opportunity to go visit him.

After he got in touch I decided to cash in some airmiles and get out to see him (he lives in Nan, in northern Thailand). Everything is booked now for 3 weeks in March.

As well as spending some time in Bangkok, I will also be doing a 3 day sea kayak trip in Phuket and spending 3 days training to be an elephant mahout at the Elephant Conservation Center. Other than that I am also hoping to do some hikes in the hills around Nan and if time allows get to Ankor Wat in Cambodia.

I am going to be travelling light weight as March is the start of summer in Thailand so it will be very hot. I'm debating whether to take the Hennessey Hammock with me or not.
