Adventure in ThailandStory by R. Cameron Cooper
Adventure takes many forms: a new relationship or job, sushi for the first time, or even a walk through an L.A. slum at 2am on a Saturday night – all qualify. Webster’s dictionary defines adventure as “an exciting or 
remarkable experience.” It’s when we break out of our daily routine and dare to take on a new challenge, boldly going into territory that is unfamiliar to us. But most people, when they think of adventure, think of travel. And though pretty much the whole world has been explored before by other people (with Marco Polo setting the benchmark several hundred years ago), what matters is that it is your discovery. Adventure travel is a highly personal thing and what it teaches you about the vast world that surrounds you and its relationship to you is what makes it both worthwhile and essential.

welcoming people, new and enlivening experiences are waiting for you to live them out. Though there are endless adventures available here, two of the more popular possibilities involve going as high and as low as you can.
