THE BIRDMAN of KHAO YAI: Photos 21 to 38

2 Million Bats - Wildlife and Bird Watching at Khao Yai National Park

I caught the Skytrain to BTS Mo Chit station and then another exciting motorcyle taxi ride with my backpack on and another large bag on my lap hanging on with one hand as the driver went full speed around the corner 3 km to the Mo Chit Bus station for 40 baht. The bus station is huge and all the signs are in Thai but everyone was helpful and I found a numbered window where I could buy a ticket for 144 baht to get me to Pak Chong. The trip took 2.5 hours and I got off in the main street - I then asked two guys which baht truck to catch to the Greenleaf Guesthouse - one of them sent me accross the road and when I got there the next guy even rang the guesthouse (I had their number on a piece of paper - always pays to have the address of your Hotel written in Thai and a contact phone number) on his mobile and made sure I got on the correct truck. It cost 20 baht for a 7km
