Thailand - Trekking in the jungle
The mosquito busters strikes back.
One small step for man
Every long walk starts with a step, and it takes quite a few strides to cross this nice bridge.

The local spa
Refreshing showers along the way are very appreciated, especially after several hours of rough up-hill terrain.

Deep forest
I suppose this is where John Rambo goes for retirement.

Raft draft
This was the 'still dry' moment, before the bamboo raft got stuck on evil rocks and we had to jump into the eel-infested brown water up to our stomages in order to lift it off.

Three stooges
As we entered the valley we found three water buffalos staring at us.

Lost
Where is John Locke when you need him?

Path of disorientation
I have a slight hunch my cell phone won't work here.

Village people
We stayed a night in the village of the Karon tribe. Curious and friendly people, but their black stew was lethal.

Rise and shine
As soon as I woke up, I started looking for the damned rooster that started in 4 AM and just wouldn't shut up.

Clear skies
During the night here I witnessed the most awesome Milky Way I've ever seen, entirely free of light pollution. Add a symphony of singing cicadas and you have the correct setting for this wonderful moment.

Good morning
This was the morning shower. Cold as hell but extremely refreshing.
