Three adventurers break from the group and take off on their own. In true Thai style -- on the back of a pickup truck. From left to right: Me, Dan, Josh.
|
On the River Kwai (in a Bamboo raft). Our expert guide was pretty cool. Quite the giddy woman. She should never have let Josh navigate and row, though. Bad judgement.
|
"The Bridge on the River Kwai."

|
Once again. More foreigners than Thai folks. I think that dude's taking a picture of us.
|
Another daycare center? Like the other kids in Thailand, this youngin' had a song ready for us too.
|
Left to right: Josh, Dan. Heading deep, deep into the jungle. They look peaceful now, but Josh is about to freak out when he sees where we're heading.

Taki (Takehito) and I managed to pull ahead, but that just brought us closer to ...
|
... a dry river bed covered by jungle. The elephant shocked us all by dancing through the rough terrain with absolute ease.
|
Oh the things you see wandering through the jungle on an elephant.

|
Left to right: Takehito, Me, Very Talented Elephant Trainer. Our guide managed to get his pet to pick up a lost sandal with its trunk, and then hang on to it until the end of our trek.
|
Our next stop is a waterfall where the locals relax on Sunday afternoons. Finally more Thai people than tourists.
|
A cool little cave under the waterfall. No, that isn't two people making out in the back.
