Waterfalls are for admiring, clicking pictures, and to take a bath (if they are small). This is what I thought until I came to know about Waterfall Abseiling. Doi Inthanon, in the city of Chiang Mai, is where the adventure sport can be best experienced. Test your limits by descending against the strong force of the Wachiratarn waterfall as it comes thumping on your heart and cherish the victory forever.

So the movie Tarzan got released and looked exciting on screen. But off-screen what's more exciting and tributing is to get to try this 'Tarzan-like' experience in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Why should all the adventure activities have to be fast? Why not something slow but at the same time exciting and fascinating? Go Kayaking in Ao Nang, in the Krabi province of Thailand for a soothing, adventurous ride. Slowly paddle your canoe against the sea that glows with a turquoise hue and admire the beauty of the limestone cliffs marked with intricate caves.
