Date: 20th April 2011 Place: Kho Sok National Park Weather: Really really hot again I woke up on the train about half an hour before our stop. When we did get off Minas friend Tuk was waiting to give us a lift to the national park. We stopped off on the way to get some breakfast and had to go through some of the towns that were flooded.
