Visitors looking for more traditional exciting adventure should head to Chiang Mai to try whitewater rafting(漂流), or attempt waterfall abseiling(沿绳索滑下) at Doi Inthanon National Park.

High scores in scenery and climate make Greece a perfect destination for adventurers. The water for swimming here is the best of the best.
