Joe and Melanie,

Hi Chan, I was just about to write you and you beat me to it. We had a great time with Yewen yesterday. Really, it was spectacular. Market visit was good. Meeting his friends and wife was also really nice. And then the hike, waterfalls, rice paddies, river rafting, all were really great. We covered about 8 miles. The elevation change was similar to home, but we went for longer than we usually do. We could take our time. Back home, we’re usually in a rush for everything. I think the nicest part was just spending 5-6 hours walking and talking and learning about Thailand and Karen people, etc. I’m glad I found you on TripAdvisor and I will gladly recommend you to my friends and write a nice review for you and Yewen. Thanks a lot, Chan! Joe and Melanie
