Roadmap Thailand - day 10

Aug. 28 - 8:45 - Chang Mai

We take the breakfast 'on the small terrace of our bungalow and going to home after avoir mis nos bagages dans une pièce réservée aux trekkeurs. La classe !



10H00- Le guide vient nous chercher et nous embarquons à l’arrière d’une camionnette. Il y a déjà quatre personnes : un écossais et trois anglais. Vu les raclées qu’ils nous mettent au rugby, j’la joue profil bas… Ils ont notre âge et nous faisons un peu connaissance durant le trajet. Nous nous arrêtons à la police touristique qui nous enregistre puis reprenons la route. Nous faisons un nouvel arrêt sur un marché afin que les guides fassent les courses pour les différents repas du séjour. 20min stop and let's "go to the mountain!



We arrive at the starting point of the trek. We walk through a rice field to reach a magnificent little camp but bamboo. Gé-nial! We join two other trekkeuses: one English and one Australian. We prepared noodles and a basket of "one" fruit (lychee coreless so what sense of Thais practice these!).


The guide wears a khaki capris, a t-shirt camouflage and a bandana. We decide to call him "Rambo." Once the meal is over, Rambo beckons us off and said, 'Let's go! Come on! This is my po'ti kikiii! . And the cook adds: "'woule sweetie! "We're off to a hike of three hours! The start goes well, this goes especially nicely and the scenery is superb. We move from valley to valley, and discover lush rice paddies.


Then we attack the jungle. And there, annoyed topography. We will walk more, we literally climb! The guide makes frequent breaks, allowing us to keep going. The vegetation we "eat" entirely. Imagine yourself lost in a lush jungle, infested with mosquitoes, you walk like a robot, you're soaked with sweat and moisture ... Terrible! Add to that the fatigue of the trek and you're there. We all had a very difficult time to go ... Not very pleasant lack of air, high rate ...


But we manage to cross the highest point of the day. Phew ... From there, the voltage drops. We laugh again, the guide to jokes girls ...


He shows us insects including a tarantula and takes us into a cave full of bats.

Finally, we see the camp where we will sleep. Cool!



We discover a bamboo infrastructure while somewhat remote village. A family is there to greet us.


Rambo explains the principle of consumption not included in the room: he took a piece of cardboard, mark all names and beverages. At each tick then the quantity of beverages consumed. Then we take our shower An happiness ... so deserved! It gets a little beer to drink and finish late afternoon to discuss among ourselves, and in English please! I take this opportunity to write this and the previous day, because we were too tired the night before.


Rambo calls us for dinner. It all starts at attention ... He sings a little bit and we s'détend! We went to the table and Rambo, who made dining with his friend, we used a bowl of rice, a plate of vegetables and chicken soup! We no longer accustomed to such quantities!


During the meal, we discover a little more fun Rambo colleague who joined us in late afternoon. He keeps laughing. His laugh resembles that of WOODY WOODPECKER terribly ... This relaxes the atmosphere and we spend a great night at 10, in this large bamboo hut lost in the jungle Thai ... We do not even know where we are, but it is not important. According to Rambo, there is near the Burmese border. The moment is great and the language barrier is fading more and more. We all laugh and no one is left out. This kind of experience brings a lot people. During the evening, the colleague of Rambo keeps messing around on the ping-pong and we decide to call it "Ping-pong show. Because he keeps telling us, hilarious, there will be a ping pong show tomorrow. It's fantastic really.



Some go to bed. We remain at 7 to play in a sling with a beer can empty it at the top of a stick planted in the ground. Rambo and Ping-pong show we put a beating internationally. They have a technique that fly every time. They attempt to explain it without success. The night ends quietly, as timeless, in the middle of nowhere, with a fun ... ancestral



23:00 - We go to bed in the dormitory composed of mattresses and mosquito nets.
