We arrived in Hua Hin feeling nautious. The night out the before had nothing to do with it, it was the fastest bumpiest ride in a mini van ever. We met John and Diana on the mini van. After a quicky scoot round the block we found rooms in Mods Guest House. As we were walked to our rooms by the receptionist a furry monkey we later called Frank came to see what was going on. He lives on the roof of the guest houses by the beach. We had a quick shower and headed to...

We arrived back in Bangkok on Tuesday at 6:00 am. We headed straight to Kawin Place and freshened up.

We got to Nancy's house at 9:40 and chose our dis...

Monday we just bimbled about until our bus b...

We checked out of Chiang Mai inn guest house and headed to the travel agents with our big bags. They would be spending the night there whilst we spent the night in the jungle. We had smaller rucksacks loaded with water clean pants and peanuts. We were picked up by Rudi and his driver at 9:00am. We then did the rounds to pick up our fellow trekkers, her name was Sacha. Just me Garath and Sacha, the day before there were 20 people, today just us 3. It should have ...
