This week we have once again dealt with the nature dear reader, we have seen the largest venomous snake in the world boxing and know the dangers of the jungle, learned to read themselves, but only once we had a train but get into the wilderness. Third class, which is less pigs and sheep, but rather no air conditioning in the cabin is, but very comfortable. This can all windows and doors remain open, as our "Express" made it just felt to 50 km / h, one had a constant air circulation and therefore no sweats. After a five hour drive for just under 200 kilometers, we arrived at Pak Chong, Khao Yai National Park, the starting point. That is the biggest Thai National Park and how it is also the most imposing. At first, however, an accommodation was needed and we rented a guest house in Greenleaf, which scored first, through its rooms and unbeatable value in its spectacular tours of the park. So we booked the same also wanted a full day for the next morning and when we know whether we are also guaranteed to see snakes, the owner showed us take the first highly poisonous viper tree opposite our room, the absolute increase in anticipation. In the evening met we have again a couple Americans who had also booked the tour and jabbered about God and the world. Later came back the tour of the day, which also belonged to a German and a little later so it came to football Kracher Thailand to Germany, three against three, barefoot on concrete. At least, that was on one side of the field, because the other covered with gravel disgusting, what the Thais apparently made up with its enormous layer of the cornea nothing. After it was zero to two and Matthias already had the first blood blister, we did not have to sit on us and we again gave neat gas, leading to the poignant final score of six to five for Germany. Wet welding, totally disabled and many of us exhausted around seven, to be back on his feet in our bed. Our tour included the end of seven men, four tourists came to the three guides, so what if the time is not a luxury. When we reached the park, we drove around in first step speed and all stopped few meters. Our guides listened, watched and waved from that was the pattern of the first half hour, which made us somewhat nervous. Since not much was visible beside the road, so it was in the jungle. Three hour walk right across the scrub, but they were fantastic. We saw an old friend again, namely, the ugly giant spider from Australia (you remember?) and another small snake. We saw squirrels as they jumped around among the giant trees, but the real highlights were sitting in the first place in the tops of the former. There would be a wonderful part, cute Gibbons, around which dangled from the branches and huge hornbills. Unfortunately, we know the German name, but imagine the Fruit Loops bird and gigantic namely. One of our guides had a kind of telescope it and we could see all the animals and extensively photographed it also, which would otherwise have been impossible, since the trees were easily fifty feet high. Completed, the migration through the Lynx in one of the wildlife observation towers, where we like it or not allowed to enjoy tofu.
Then we went to a waterfall, where barely arrived, and was again Parole given to the departure, someone had spotted elephants in the park two minutes later, we could then also one of the elephants drinking at the watch at a water hole, before he bit later disappeared in the jungle, hear, however, was a long time. Then we were finally able to relax at the waterfall, bathing in the many visitors. We saved the wet, because we had a few hours before us. Next, we went to other elephants search because the day before the streets were nearly twenty long walks. This time they stayed in the jungle, unfortunately, but that bothered us less personally, because we first saw scorpions! Large hand, greenish specimens that our guide also brought in good aggressive attitude Photo, before he let them crawl on his arm. Then it went to almost twelve hours on the way home back to the inn. In the evening we learned more about English, we kindly spent their photos on Cd. came as Revanchierungsversuch be done, but with heaps White Thai whiskey back and so was the evening longer and longer. This meant that we do the next day only up to Nakhon Ratchasima managed in order to recover there. But we went back the next day absolutely vital to Khon Kaen and found there is a truly great (and cheap) hotel, you also get from these lines. There, we decided to make a detour to the self-proclaimed cobra village. The next day we put it to work in practice. In a non-air conditioned bus, with seats completely stupid, this was still quite crowded, the one-hour one way was rather daunting. Then we took a tuk-tuk to the village. There, a little battered stage was built with artificial turf, including where even the first Boa Constriktor lingered, but the could not. Behind the stage were monkeys in tiny cages, bears, and especially King Cobras stored, the stars of the show. So we took on a Grandstand court and waited for the first time a little. After some time, three girls started off a very ugly, to be delivered completely out of sync dance. After a while, then got a cobra but every round the neck, but even that is not our skin of the socks. Only the following Snake Boxing made the visit reasonably rewarding. In this case try any crazy, some of which were not ten years old to box against the huge king cobras. People must fight on its head and against the neck or pull on the tail, up to five meters long beasts, however, may just bite. We do not know whether they still had fangs, certainly had some circumcised cocks or gouged eyes. Highlights were certainly the struggle of a man wanted to kiss for two (!) Spitting cobras, or a freak of one of the snakes. Think I was bitten only one shoe of a boy who otherwise were all unharmed. We donated a few baht, but when you then use the critters running around, to hang around necks, we disappeared better. This village is certainly a very adventurous experience and we also find quite a cruelty to animals, somehow it was still amusing. After the relaxing return trip, we wanted to go eat Chinese, but to our bad luck was the recommended Hong Kong House already closed so we went in the 5-star dining restaurant. We ordered baked Duck and garlic shrimp, the duck was unfortunately full of bones and no trace of garlic, when we still wanted to turn on Diet Coke, it was enough then. We do so only awarded a star and probably will escape back into cheaper premises. More we have not make it, but we have still true even three weeks on our trip, so we are left!
