I Just returned from a two day trek into the jungle and let me tell you, it was awesome. Apart from the 3 hour hike on the first day, we stopped at a waterfall and hot springs and met some villagers from two seperate settlements. We stayed overnight in the second village and set out first thing in the morning to go ride some elephants (which didn't stink anywhere near as bad as camels do for the record). Afterwards, our group helped build some rafts from bamboo and floated down the river.
I still can't believe how cheap everything is here. I have an air conditioned room to myself for the "heafty" cost of $10 and my custom suit (which is being delivered tomorrow along with my final fitting) was just under $225. I watched them weave the wool!
Anyway, I met some people on the trek and we've decided to go drinking tonight, and as long as I don't feel like crap tomorrow I plan on taking the overnight train back to Bangkok followed by a flight to Hanoi (Vietnam) on Saturday morning.
All my pictures will likely get posted to facebook (some are there now), so get with the program.
Did I mention my new hammer pants? They're great!
