Jungle preparation

The boys arrived yesterday and the plan is we are going to do a 3 day trek in the jungle with Mr Chart he is a guy that Aaron's cousin did a trek with 7 years ago and its been one of the pinnacle things on his trip to do. Josh Ryan and Aaron have a car already so we're going to drive to his place and stay overnight before heading into the jungle the following day. First we need to buy a few essentials like hammocks, long trousers and a mosquitos net. After several shops we accumulate most of the things needed and after buying 2 different hammocks take them back to the accommodation to give them a trial run set up tied to the two post we all agree that the plastic one with the built in mosquito net is the best one. We loot the second hand shops trying to find sensible footwear for the boys to trek with and I'm surprised we're successful when all the boys have such big feet. After shopping we make our way to o e of the waterfalls and after climbing to the top find its full of dirt and oil its no wonder the pool lower down doesn't entice us to swim. The bamboo Bridge we've walked across is perilous and in some parts non existent and Pathu my Thai friend has advised there's a chain to the right which we can use to climb up and down the rocks. In the evening we all eat in a restaurant called Charlie and leks and it the most delicious Thai food I've had since being here. A couple of beers finishes of the day and I head back to get packed up for tomorrow.Read more
