Place: Khao Yai National Park, Thailand
Time: 2 days in April

After re packing our back packs back home in Bangkok it's time once again to experience the beautiful outdoors of Thailand. Taxi to Bangkok's Southern bus terminal, four hours bus ride to Pak Chong and one hour of riding on the back of a pick-up truck. Then we arrive to the Northern entrance of the Khao Yai National Park. This is Thailand's oldest national park; founded in year 1962, and the area of the park is 216,555 square kilometers.
The road up to the visit center is 14 kilometers long and we start walking South hoping to catch a ride with some one to make it there before night fall. A kind Park Ranger picks us up after a while and we feel the excitement withing growing as we're sitting there on the back of the truck climbing to 1300 meters.

Khao Yai offer many different hiking routs passing water falls and other amazing views.
We sleep in a simple hut without windows and enjoy the sounds of the night jungle.The next day we hike through the jungle and get to experience the rich wildlife in the surroundings.
I truly love the jungle; an amazing place packed with life and energy that we need to protect to keep our planet alive. An overwhelming experience... Thanks Khao Yai!
