Um Phang - Jungle Trek Day 3 of 3

---

On day 3 we were greated by 3 elephants. Two adults and one baby. The adults would be carrying us on a winding and steep jungle path of 10km. The baby closely followed its mother.

Our seats weren't that comfortable, so we really started hurting after a while, especially when going down at higher speeds! But the ride was a really cool experience, sitting high up with a nice view. Along the way, our guide caught a huge spider. Some sort of tarantula. He said it stays in a hole in the ground until a prey unluckily passes by. Humans can die of a bite of this spider, if not treated quickly! Scary...

This was also the end of our jungle trek. We were picked up by a truck and headed back to Um Phang, and then back to Mae Sot. There, Bart, Trevor and I had a nice dinner together and it was time to say goodbye. They were taking the night bus back to Bangkok, I was going the next day. It was really great traveling around with Bart and Trevor, made it a lot more fun! Thanks guys!

I've read that you had a great trek in the jungle and also made a trip on Dumbo. The pictures make it a good travelblog but where are the pictures of your female friends... Not many interesting facts from Holland...(Cathelijn has been in Leysin for a week with the kids what gave me the time to listen some Stones music). Greetingzz Jean
