SiamWEB: Klung, Jantaburi Trip Page 2

.. Continue from previous page

Breakfast at the hut. What a feeling, bird chirping (well, they always chirp, it just amplifies during breakfast ;). Gotta fuel up for our heavy day at the waterfall.

It took us less than an hour drive from the fruit farm to get here.

What did we do when we arrived? fuel up some more! "Gai yang, som tum, namtok" sounds good eh? ;P~~

You can hike along the edge of the wather stream for kilos. Or you can take an uphill stroll on the well made path obove. We hiked by the stream for a while, got tired, went up on the path, then head down when we see a sign that said "waterfall Mai See^"

Left: There we were, reaching our first waterfall, "Nam tok Mai See", there are still many more waterfalls ahead but some of us are tired, and this looks like a great spot to freshen up.

Right: We swam over and dive into the waterfall, man, the impact of
the waterfall when you go under it was quite somthing. The cavity that the fall made is really deep. Most of us tried swimming through it just for thrills.

Choosak and Toom compared their skin tone. Well? Who's whiter?

How's the water you asked? Cold! After swiming a while, I was shaking. I can't stay in cold water too long, ears ache.

Here are the locals, always there, greeting us with the most welcome bites. Yes, you can stand there and these friendly, or rather "hungry" fishes will greet you by nibbling on your feet/legs. It's a great feeling. We were

standing there for several minutes letting those guys do their thing.

Some of us, Maew and Ying+ gets over romantic over fish bite, decide to hug each other. Hmm..i wonder ;) hehe

Here's the top view of the swiming area nearby the waterfall. Quite a few people were there, buncha little kids jumping off the rock where I'm standing.Well, i had to join in as well.

We stayed at the waterfall till late afternoon. Then we head off to the beach nearby, about an hour drive.

At night, there's "ngarn wad", a party at the temples. This kind of festival found throughout thailand, even at rural area. The location is always at a local temple. The locals come here at night eat stuff, play games, watch shows, dancing.. etc.

One show we found interesting, the pipe climbing motorcycle show, man, takes some guts and skill to do it. After the show, we went to interview the performer. She said she's been doing it for three years.The speed it takes to climb on the wall is around 80km/hr. Sounds like fun eh?

We end the night with bumper cars. Overgrown size, young at heart! The DJ is pretty much intouch with current song. That Shala la la la *clap *clap *clap* song haunted us for the rest of the night. Btw, how can Pookie got away from ripping the whole song off? Isn't there a copyright law? ..or maybe the song is so old, anyone can remake it.

Monday, before we head back to the ol over congested, over polluted, Bangkok, we went to freshen up, filtering our system at a nice beach call "____". Beautiful, delicate white sand beach. Clear, clean water. The beach is at "Umper Tar^ Mai'". There's a speed boat which will take your to see the corals. The boat cost is ____ bath. You can see the fish through the boat's mirror or go snorkling.

Well folks, after that we headed home. It was a good low cost trip. It helps when we don't need to pay for the hotels! So you might considered going to places where you have a friends or family there as your host, save some $$. There's alot more cool places to go in Thailand, hopefully you will save our curency and travel IN country more. If you do, share with us your trip's story. We'll put it here on SiamWEB social corner!

Hey, better travel soon before everything is polluted ;) Our desparate gov't will
do just about anything to get foreign investment, including registering us as an industrial wasteland ;) See you in the next trip.

Great page. Thai people, you don't know what ya got. I did some traveling here in the USA recently and it was WAY expensive--cheapest room was $35.71 plus %8.6 sales tax. Train and food was expensive--The only 'Thai-priced' thing was taking the local county bus from Seattle to Tacoma for $2.50. Thai tiaw Thai, na nii dii. But if you want to tiaw Seattle, I could be your guide 'rap jaang' Later,khrap

It seems you had a great time. I have done a bit of travelling in Thailand and I must agree that there are some beautiful places to see and some interesting people to meet. But I will say this, It is the people that make the place. For example I spent some time trvelling by myself and if it wasn't for the people that I met I don't think I would have enjoyed the places so much. One thing I like about Thai people is that they are so willing to help you, give you a bed and something to eat even when the ecconomy is bad. We have a wise saying," it is better to give than receive" and Thai people certainly believe this also. I come from Australia and yes it would be very expensive to travel here at the present time, but if you can make some friends on the net you can cut your cost dramatically. For example when I was in Northern Thailand a good friend drove me around so that I could visit Chiang Mai/Rai, the golden Triangle etc. So if anyone is interested in Travelling down south to Australia drop us a letter and lets chat. I am also keen to learn to read and write Thai. I might even be able to help you improve your English. Good friends are such a blessing. Keep having fun and until next time, Sawasdee Krup. Brett

I just want to let you know how much I enjoyed your story and pictures. I think Thai people need to learn to appreciate natural resources. There are many nice places to visit in Thailand. I am particularly moved about "Temple Fair", it reminds me of how I grew up at Chachaensao many years ago. Last year when I visited Thailand, I went to a temple fair at Thonburi. I love Thailand and hope to visit again. I left Bangkok since I graduated from Chula (Architecture) in 1969. So it has been a long way (and time) from home. Again, thanks for a wonderful story.
