journey of young g

Since the Meditation Retreat, we have visited Krabi, Phuket, Khao Yai National Park, the Sukhothai ruins, Chaing Mai, now Pai. All of which have been amazing. Krabi was a beautiful beach town with limestone cliffs and caves all around. A rock climbers heaven. a little overpriced, but good to see. Phuket also had beautiful beaches. Many people enjoy this place. I prefered Phuket Town, the old, european style town. Phuket was also very enjoyable because of our hosts, Taj and Chompu. They were so amazing. Overnight bus up to Bangkok and then to Pak Chaong to head to Khao Yai National park. We might have been a bit foolosh to camp in the rainy season. LEECHES. Treking on restricted trails and bumping into a herd of wild boar. Big pigs. Two nights was plenty. Sukhothai had amazing ruins with great big Buddhas and temple reamains from the 13th century. The day we arrived in Chaing Mai, we booked 3 day, 2 night, real Jungle trek, with Wood as our guide. He was the real deal. Jungle boy himself. We stayed with local hilltribe people in their village. Hiking in the jungle in the rain was not as bad as i thought it would be. All seven of us were soaked, so there was no complaining to be had. My legs are still feelin it. Now we're in Pai. This cool little mountain town has so much style and personality. We walkewd for 3 hours this morning going from village to village, smiling at the locals. Considering Burma then laos and cambodia. oh boy
