WEDNESDAY 28 JULY 2010
The bamboo floor was easier to sleep on than the wooden floor, but we were woken very early again by loud crowing cockerels and pigs squealing. We had scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast and went to see Chai’s wife weaving.
We set off in the rain, which didn’t last long, and went to yet another pool and waterfall where we went swimming. We walked to the elephant camp where we had lunch and then went for an elephant ride for about half an hour, followed by bamboo rafting down the river – very relaxing after all the walking we had done.
We were then taken back to Chiang Mai where we were all booked in at Gap’s House. It’s not possible to make reservations with Gap’s House and it is usually full, but they guarantee a room if you do a trek with them. Gap’s House has wooden bungalows set in a lovely shaded jungle garden with a very relaxed atmosphere. The rooms are large and furnished with old wooden furniture, and there is free Wi-Fi. Mozzie spray is essential as they like the trees and visitors! The price is very reasonable at 550 baht (about 11 pounds).
