Thailand Mission and Cultural Trip 2014 - Journal 4

Our first full day of cultural activities and fun! Started off with a trip to Khao Yai National Forest. We did not see as much wildlife as we have seen in the past. But we did see 3 monkeys, lots of deer, and leeches! But we were not attacked to the same intensity as in the past. The hiking path is now paved and oiled. 

The waterfall at the end of the road way up in the mountain was awesome – but because of recent

rains, it was browner than usual. The lunch at that hole-in-the-wall restaurant by the waterfall was exceptional. The total for the 5 of us was $10.00 (the same as at the Blue Restaurant)!

Then it was the elephant ride – a first time experience for all on the team, and one of the main reasons that Tedi chose this Mission Trip (it is off her bucket list and she gets to do mission work). 

We then went to Tesco Lotus to get a huge bag of dog food for the farm pets, and introduce Tedi to the TL experience. It was then back to the Blue Restaurant for dinner.

The team then came and hung out at my room, where I taught them to eat mango the Jamaican way; and they just crashed and had a good time.
