Chong Mek

Is the closest place mentionable to the Khao Yai National park, which was really cool though expensive. There is no transportation in the park, so we had to hitch hike about 5 times that day. But people were helpful and stopped fairly quickly. We took some nice walks through the sloppy marked paths. We were a bit worried because everybody had gear against snakes and leeches. But even the best gear wouldn't have helped against the Asian tigers who also live there. We saw some deers but mostly just a beautiful rain forest.
In Chong Mek we had another fondue which proofed to be a bit strange. Meat was pink even after cooking. But still a nice base to explore the nearby park.
