This meant that we had no way home as there weren't any taxi boat drivers crazy enough to do the 10 minute trek and risk a lightning bolt and there was NO WAY to trek back home as there were many 'animals' i.e. snakes along he jungle path.....in the end some Thais helped us by convincing a taxi boat driver to take us for 3x price when there was a slight break in the storm....off we went lightning a flashin' all around us!!
