Camping at highest point in Thailand part 1

I think that I should probably take a class in how to blog...it takes me forever to get the pictures in a good order so usually I just give up and there are just so many other things I would love to learn. If you know any helpful hints- please let me know! 

Ok so back to what this post is suppose to be about: Camping at the highest point in Thailand! Doi (means mountain) Inthanon  was named after the 7th ruling prince of Chiang Mai (1870-1897). It is 2565 meters above sea level. It was pretty cool as the high one morning was 4* C. 

We were a group of about 60 people all families from the school, either teachers or parents. The youngest there was 4 years old and the oldest was a grandpa who was in his 70s. The people in charge have been doing this for about 10years, so they had a wonderful plan and it made camping with 60 people look easy! Every family group was part of a team that was in charge of one of the six meals that we had while we were there. Everyone brought their own dishes and they washed them as well. During the day people read, played football, volleyball, talked, went on hikes, etc. At night it was more of the same in addition to roasting marshmallows, singing by the camp fire, playing table games, trying to stay warm, etc. It was wonderful!

 These pictures were all taken at our camp ground which included 4 cabins that we could sleep in.

My meal team made chili- can you tell these men aren't use to the cold!
