Get picked up by open backed taxi and pick up others from other hotels before heading to jungle via market where guides bought food and supplies for trek. Lunch in jungle before 3 hr trek to village - slippy terrain as rainy season so a few nasty falls but nothing too serious! Eventually reach village where we will stay for the night - 11 in group for first night and then down to 4 of us for night 2 as most people only doing 1 night in the jungle. Real back to basics - staying in bamboo huts surrounded by other village people - chickens, pigs and dogs running wild! Awesome Thai meal cooked over fire and village children songs before early night as everyone tired - everyone in for 9pm earliest bedtime of trip by far!!
