Update from Pak Chong

Only a quick update, as we have a train to catch. We are currently in Pak Chong, Thailand.

We took a couple of pick-up trucks from Battambang, and went to Poi Pet to cross the border into Thailand. The ride was extremely uncomfortable for all but those who went in the front of the car, who were only in mild discomfort as our transport went over the various bumps and holes in the road.

After acrossing the border, we took minibuses to Khao Yai national park, where we spent a couple of days trekking through the jungle, in preparation for our main trek. Fortunately, Thailand has much better roads, so the journey was more comfortable. Our accomodation was very overpriced - we spent more on a few tents on raised platforms than we spent on a proper hotel in Battambang.

Today we left the national park, and are about to catch a train to catch another train, which will take us to Chiang Mai overnight. After that, we will be going to Chiang Dao nation park, where our main trek will take place.
