15. Doi Inthanon Village, Thailand

Katie and Jordan get the ol’ Chiang Mai Shanghai in this week’s adventure. What started as a trip to teach English turns out to be ten days in a village atop Doi Inthanon, the highest peak in Thailand where Catholicism rules and the priest is a demi-god. 

On the first day, Katie and Jordan are welcomed to a house blessing as guests of honor where they eat the spiciest food of their life and pound rice whiskey for the ceremony. 

Jordan has a mental breakdown attempting to use a poorly installed squat toilet and Katie realizes she’s technically been to the Himalayas.
