More drinking

After tearing my away from odd Aod, Nan gave me a ride most of the way to Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park.  I started hitching a ride to the Park as there is no public transport.  About 9am a group of elderly Thai men accosted me and made me join their breakfast booze party.  


After about a gallon of the local moonshine being pored down my throat, observing their very illegal gambling (cried of "No photo! No photo!" are still ringing in my ears) and being introduced to every cop in the district who came by for the fire water I was finally given a lift.  The drunken policeman who drove me kindly informed me on how to hitch for a ride in the Thai way.  Its the same same but different.


A very nice couple picked me up.  They took me to their house and introduced me to their sister who could speak great English.  she took me all the way to the camp grounds in the park.


After setting up my hammock I went for a spot of lunch at the local park restaurant.  Lo and behold more drinking.  A few young guys up from Bangkok because of the floods were running the restaurant (with a pitcher of moonshine in hand).  More drinking.


I did eventually see some of the interesting sights in the park that day.
