Trekking in the Jungle, Northern Thailand


It was great to finally meet cousin Faye and we wanted to spend some time showing her and Lorna a bit of Thailand so we all did a trek together. It was excellent. The first trek that Martin and I had done back in early December was very good, but this one was much better. On our first day we started walking through a National Park which felt like we were trekking deep in the jungle. Like our first one, it was really steep with great views of the surrounding jungle from the ridges that we climbed. The villages we stayed in were smaller and less developed this time and seemed more authentic somehow. We explored the villages and observed the locals from afar or closer when they didn't mind. Martin even had a game of takraw - a game like volleyball but using a rattan ball and head and feet only to get the ball over the high net. * Mush
