Trek Day 2 - Goodbye to half the folks

After a lazy breakfast we hiked through some beautiful forested scenery.  Then on to a songthaew to the highest point in Thailand, Doi Inthanon.  The reason I chose this trek was to climb this mountain.  But luck was not with me that day.  We didn't hike it but drove to the top.  Anti-climatic but the cold and cloud cover wouldn't have been pleasant to hike in.  We ate lunch in the car park and then drove off to a drop-off point.


Ulraz, Saar and myself split from the Argentinian and French peoples to continue our trek.  After about two hours walking we made it to our guide's wife's house where we spent the night.  In our small group it was easy to chat with Chai (our guide) and learn a lot more about his background and Thailand in general.  He is from the Karen Hill Tribe of Thailand.


Sleeping here was much more pleasant than the night before.  The elevation is much lower and so a little warmer.
