Were going White water rafting today, get picked up and head to the mountains. On the way we stop at a small village where they do elephant trekking. A group of elephants pass us with a baby elephant. It has a chain around it's neck an foot. Really not a good sight. We eat lunch before meeting up wih the other rafters. A chicken is scrounging for food and it comes for my feet, as it turns out "its not just insects and large animals that im scared of". There ar...

Gaz and Paul head to the tiger kingdom while me and Jordan chill by the pool all day, it's really hot today and we get chatting to a Finnish guy who's doing crazy backflips from the diving board. He turns out to be a snowboarder and a DJ, wonder if this guy is a Finnish version of Jordan, if so then I'm getting out of here, one Jordan is enough for me. We go and watch the Thai boxing and walk to the stadium near the night Market. Once inside it's a paradise. A b...

The morning after a really heavy session. Were all feeling fairly good but tired as usual. I head to the pool where all of the powple from trekking are sunbathing together. Alex starts to tell us about how they got up at 6am to go to the trainstation to head for Phuket only to find out that they have the days wrong and that they are here for another day, epic fail especially after staying out to the early hours of the morning drinking. We have arranged to go...

The last day of trekking and were all getting quite close, at least to say that we've only been together for 2 days. It's mostly down hill today but my feet are getting so sore from the sandals. Jurek has done most of the trek barefoot but I don't think my feet could hold upto that. We are heading for a place to swim but before long double disaster strikes. We're crossing a paddy field when at almost the same time Paul jumps down the bank and splits the second ...

We all have breakfast after possibly the best nights sleep so far. The 3 young english guys join up with our group and we start trekking, it's uphill to start which really takes it out of everyone. We walk for a few hours walking past the new rice fields that the darmers have set on fire, it's really hot and the smoke and heat make it worse. Joes promise of a river can't come soon enough. We stop for lunch in a village and Jordan swaps his stuff to a spare pack...
