Today we are doing a jungle hike again. Leaving with 2 cars for a 12 hour trip. After a 1 hour drive we got to Khao Yai National Park, just few hours from Bangkok. First walking down the Jungle for 3-4 hours, no tracks, just jungle. Bring some good hiking shoes. You will also get some special socks from the tourguide because of all the leeches in the Jungle. Those tiny little blodsuckers that will dance on you skin like little worms. During the walk we spotted wild Gibbons, pig tailed Macagues, black giant squirrels and ... snakes! We spotted lot's of monkeys, but not that many snakes. They also promised scorpions, hornbills, jackals, martens, porcupines, waterdragons and stuff like that, but unfortunately we were not that lucky. After some bushwalks we had lunch and had my favorite dessert; palm sugar. We went to the Hew Suwat waterfall, the one that was used in the movie 'The Beach'. Looking at it was not that special but swimming in it was fuckin' fantastic! The signs with 'No Swimming' were useless. The girls in our group started to scream all of a sudden...there was a snake. It was not that big so me and some other guts hold the head between our fingers and tried to scare some people. I really want to show you some pictures of this beautiful waterfall but shit...my new digital underwatercamera is broken! Just after 3 weeks...there was water in my screen while I wasn't underwater. Damn... So I have to keep this experience in my mind and tell you all about it in the future.

The hours following on this adventure were filled with searching for wild elephants. Just when we spotted a nice sunset, a big male elephant came right out of the bush and started running toward us in the road. So cool!

Everybody was tired after this long day. Stuart went to sleep but you know...I'm always in for another drink and new people. A new group of people arrived from Bangkok and together with Edwin and some coll Belgians we decied to get out for a few beers and whiskey. And since this night I found out that the 7 Eleven doesn't sell alcohol after a certain time :-( But we are Dutch and we never give up :-) So we went on a search for locals and they wanted to sell us some drinks for a good price. Again it was a cool night with lot's of tips for the rest of my trip.

Oh and many thanks to Joe from Green Leaf Guesthouse. The first Thai that knows really good English and he helped with everything, using his homecomputer for booking the flights and so on.
