Up early to catch the 9 am bus from the bus station. Off for a bit of light exercise, and a swim at the 7 tier waterfalls at Erawan national park. It's about 90 km, 50 bhat (£1), plus the entrance fee to the park.
Unlike the buses in India, Thai buses are very clean, run on time on good roads, with drivers who have a calm, Zen like approach to driving. Yvonne has no problem dozing, Mike is not constantly looking out for sudden death situations,white knuckling the seat in front... It feels less like dodge-em-cars, and more like slick choreography.
When we arrive the 'little light exercise' begins. We decide to get to the 7th tier in one go, or should I say slog, yomp, forced march!!
The water falls 1500 metres (1.5 km), cascading down these 7 falls. Well, that means going up, and up, and up. The first 6 falls have steps and steep jungle paths, the last one is a scramble. When we arrive Mike has melted, and even Yvonne has worked up a sweat.
We jump in the pool and get swarmed by fish all wanting the hard skin from our feet.
Now some of these fish are 8 - 9 inches long and have very sharp teeth. Feet have never felt so hard skin free. We thought skin free at one point!!!
Leave you with some photos.
