Was woken up today by some guy banging in the door shouting for us to get up! Just a casual wake up call for our trip! Even though we were supposed to go at 9-9:30 we set off at ten, an hour late to us, on time to the Thais! We usually have a normal mini-bus take us on the tours and they're air conditioned, today we're on the back of a pickup truck with a roof! For three god damn hours! But tbf the scenery and everything on the way took my mind off if the fact th...

There basically 40 or maybe the guy said 50 different streams that all run in together. (the tour guides English is bad and it's hard to concentrate on what there saying when your staring at his huge gaping yellow teeth protruding from his mouth... Think Austin powers ...

So last night after the ping pong show we realised when we left it was almost 8 times the price to get back to the hotel as what it was to go, they clearly don't tell you this and there's nothing you can do about it, buses and rails had stopped and it was far too far to walk.
