Bangkok: Mario Maurer recently became a social media sensation after sharing the amusing details of his hiking trip to Doi Luang Chiang Dao with close friend March Chutavuth. The actor recounted how a significant oversight led to an uproarious experience, as he inadvertently brought his favorite wheeled suitcase for the trek. March, who failed to inform Mario of the nature of the journey, simply invited him with a casual "Come on," leaving Mario to assume other equipment was sufficient. Upon reaching the airport, March couldn't help but laugh at Mario's choice of luggage, as they faced a 6-7 hour hike where wheeling the suitcase was impossible. Resorting to hiring porters to carry his suitcase, Mario endured endless teasing from his friends.
According to Thai News Agency, aside from the suitcase debacle, Mario found living in harmony with nature to be an unforgettable aspect of the trip. Doi Luang Chiang Dao, being a strict wildlife sanctuary, mandates that visitors manage their waste entirely. Each person receives eight bags for personal hygiene, with officials providing instructions on waste disposal. Mario described the process of using the bags, emphasizing the importance of not leaving any trace behind. Despite initial apprehension, he found the pristine nature and conservation efforts commendable.
Mario reflected on the challenges and novel experiences, maintaining that the trip was memorable due to the stunning scenery and camaraderie. He expressed a desire to go hiking again this year, albeit without a suitcase in tow. Additionally, Mario addressed the yearly teasing about his pink nipples during military enlistment season in April. Responding humorously, he acknowledged the attention as an honor and attributed any color change to sun exposure, likening it to faded jeans. With plans to focus on health and diet, Mario assured fans that the characteristic pinkness remains intact.
