Berghaus Mera Peak Jacket [clothing]
Anyway, earlier this year Ogi and I liven in Chiang Mai for four months or so during my forced exile from Mongolia. Surrounded by numerous peaks and ridges look. I managed to screw up a visa application in late 2010, got deported and, rather than leave the missus and flee back to the UK, spent much of the year bumming around south east Asia until the head honchos in Ulaanbaatar decided to let me leave the naughty corner.
It was during this time that Thailand experienced its worst floods in half a century, partly thanks to the God awful infrastructure but mostly due to the fact that the 2010 wet season was truly epic. Every day in Chiang Mai we faced torrential downpours and spectacular electrical storms, and it was to this wet, humid backdrop we made a trip to Doi Inthanon national park to escape the terrible flooding in C hiang Mai; flooding that took more than a few lives.
Doi Inthanon is the highest peak in Thailand. Not too impressive, really, as Thailand is as flat as an ironing board, but at 8,415 feet the mountain is much higher than anything I was accustomed to back home in the Lake District. The mountain is high enough, in fact, that while the mercury hits 30 Celsius down at the base it could be as low as zero at the peak (again, not that cold, but remember this is Thailand – the insane humidity will make zero feel a hell of a lot colder).
