One of the things on my "backpacking bucket list" was to bungy-jump, which I did in Chiang Mai with my friend Tara.
At the "Jungle Bungy" (X Centre, just north of town) you pay 2,000 baht (about $60) for a jumping "package", which includes a jump from 50 m (165 feet, optional dunk in the nasty pond water at the bottom), 40 photos on a CD, a bungy-jump T-shirt and a "Certificate of Courage" stating where you jumped.
The Thai guys responsible for setting us up were incredibly professional and nice, and were very supportive (they even pushed Tara off the bungy platform from the top, per her request)
At the top of 50 m, super nervous
The jump...
... and the fall
I asked to be dunked in the water. In hindsight that was a bad decision- the water was really dirty and instead of enjoying the bouncing up and down at the end, I was too busy clearing the pond water from my nose!
Certificate of courage! (plus nasty wet clothes and hair)
Tara and I (after she got over her shock...)

Chiang Mai days 1-2
Got to Chiang Mai on Sunday !
Tara and I were originally staying at B2 resort- good rooms but bad staff and awful location.
So we moved to Chana Place in the city center. Our room is a private but it has BUNK BEDS!
(So much room for activities)
Bungy jumping at the X Centre
50 m of terrifying free fall
Scootering- Tara drives and has no helmet. I ride 'bitch seat' with helmet on because I'm a wuss (and a 'danger to others' when I'm driving...)
Visiting Doi Sutthep on the mountain
Huai Keao waterfall- no swimming
But senior portrait pictures are ok
