Thailand - On a trek
The mosquito busters strikes back, while staying with the Karon tribe.
One small step for man
Every long walk starts with a step, and it takes quite a few strides to cross this nice bridge.

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

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.

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.
Staying with the Karon tribe
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.
