Thailand Photos: 3 Days Khao Yai jungle trek and camping: 18 - 20 Dec 2005
Sunsets are never boring for me. Of course I am talking about the sunsets seen from the places
between arctic circle and antarctic circle. We sat on a grass in our jackets just looking at the sun downing behind the
mountains in Saraburi province and western end of Nakhon Ratchasima province. The temperature was falling but it was not
yet chilling. Back at the camp we continued to talk around the fire while the moon was hovering above in the dark sky.
I woke up late and missed the sunrise views. However I managed to catch this shoot through the thin wood directly from our camp.
It was 7 a.m. and our place was still under the darkness, beyond was a line of trees and the valley. After the valley it was another mountain ridge
with thicker forest. Today we were to walk generally to the east and south-east toward Klong E-Tow stream.
Morning view of our camp. All trekkers were still asleep in the tents. I went into the wood for morning business, had myself
cleaned, and built the fire. When we had hot drink, eggs, bread and fruits the entire world was brightly lit already.
After the breakfast we begun the second day walk. There was no marks and we were depending on the
memory of the park's ranger. The forest was thick and there were many small streams to pass.
The rising sun sprayed its rays into the forest. New plants were growing on the dead trees. Trees may be more useful
dead than alive.
Walking in the waters of stream in the middle of jungle. People asked me what it was like and how difficult it was
trekking in the Thailand forest. I can't find proper words to express my not-so-perfect experience. Hopefully these
photos might do the job much better.
