A week out of Bangkok took us to Kaho Yai which is known for its National Park - we booked in at Bobby's Apartment and Tours. They were incredible, a massive room with an ensuite and enthusiastic tour guides that took us off the beaten track. We saw wild elephants, gibbons and birds. The park itself was breath-taking. After out day and a half tour where we trekked through the jungle, swam in a springs, visited a temple cave and watched millions of bats come from the mountain for their night feast we were exhausted. Two days were up and we were to spend the rest of the week in Kanchanaburi. A nice quiet town during the low tourism season, more parks, the impressive Erawan National Park with a 7 tier waterfall and then hiring a scooter for a couple of days for some more temple caves, waterfall washing and general enjoyment of having some freedom. We also had the best street food experiences here: rice porridge, pancakes, noodles and my new love - hot green tea with milk :-) Now a days rest in Bangkok till Michael and I fly to Myanmar tomorrow!
