Elephant
Riding bareback (...err.. bare neck?) on an elephant for an extended period was not all that I expected. First off, elephants are less leathery and more prickly than the Jungle Book would have led me to believe. Second, an elephant's trunk is like nothing else – the tip of the trunk is articulate and can grasp like a hand or a mouth.

Tiger Spider
Tiger spiders were a frequent hazard on my trek to visit the Hmong people. Tiger spider webs are extremely fine and often unnoticeable against the green leafy environ. This made encounters especially lovely as the spiders are slightly larger than an above average human hand. You'd notice the spider floating at about face height before you would notice it's web.

Enlightenment of various types
In the mountains north of Chiang Mai there is a monastery called Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. While I was there listening to the monks chant I happened to glance up and this is what I saw. I like the juxtaposition.
