Talking in “the back seat.”
That's Zach.
Left to right: Zach's ear, Virginia [outside], Jade, Holly.
I threaded popcorn together and put it out the window for entertainment.
A tree exploded........ no, it's just a flash from the camera on the popcorn kernal [which is still there!].
You know that rocking boat at the fair? I present to you: the children's park version.
A scorpion crawling around our “resort” room.
Zoom.
Stinger on the tail. I'm the one that put it in the cup - all the other girls were too girly to approach it with a piece of paper and a drinking glass.
It's scorpion-y belly.
We begin our hike! With my bag...
Michelle [butterfly fairy].
Hikin' up.
That's Virginia doing a balancing act on the left.
I'm The Thinker.
The mountain has stairs...?
We found a natural chair. Geez, I look like a hiker. Woot!
<3
Pose. ;D
“Okay, let's go.”
Hello!
That's how much we climbed so far... we still have a long way to go.
Oh my gosh, she really is a fairy!!! :D Not photoshopped... seriously. I don't have any picture programs...
Oh my gosh, we're Thai. :P
Check out the roots on THIS tree.
No more stairs. :(
Wooo!!! We found a clubhouse. <3
Oh yeah!
That's a grasshopper.
Michelle at 3km.
Well, I'm pooped so far. [3 km marker]
We found a natural swing.
Le swing.
I'm tired, gimme a break.
The next “path.”
Welp, half way up.
Victory! So far.
I'm a munchkin.
Yeah, man. Like. Be careful.
Oopsie Poopsie. Wild elephant “stuff.”
Yes, we totally hiked up while eating ice cream.
Ice cream break. To finish the cones.
Lookin' out. The trees you see below are not on the ground; they are actually the tops of part of the lower plateau. The darker shadow in the distance is the trees on the ground.
Takin' a break. We finally reached the top. Vertical distance: 1,288 meters tall.
VICTORY!
We have reached the summit!
We signed out names in Thai and English on the ground. [Handprint Hollywood Style]
I'm holding a mud cake. We had a mudfight before we signed out names. :D
Wild deer. We thought it was a big deal the first day.
He liked me.
His girlfriend [other exchangees named Prancer] came up to see us, too.
It's the Yuki-saurus!
Buddha Image... that's seriously what it was called.
Top of the plateau, but don't get confused. It's not as flat as this picture leads you to believe.
Oh my gosh, savannah.
Is a tree. :D
Chan bpen kop! [I'm a frog!]
I dedicate this picture to my dad. Grasshoppa.
Picture taken during the 20 km walk/hike.
Even the ferns are camoflauged in Thailand. Lol.
A creek.
It was pretty.
:D
Even though it was really cold outside... I decided to have a Thai icee thing. There's fruit on the bottom, covered in ice, then Fanta drizzeled on top, then sweet milk.
Yum. <3
Lomsak Cliff.
Lookin' off part of Lomsak.
Lookinhg off of the Lomsak point.
The biggest that Queen Ann's Lace gets in Thailand.
Omg, alienz?!
Hehe...
A footprint found in the sand.
Michelle leaves behind her footprints.
More fly eating plants.
Wild lavender.
Looking off another cliff.
Pinecone in the middle of the white sand path.
Zoom. No, that's not snow. :(
You've heard of tree huggers. What about people-hugging trees? :D
Diana made herself a ring.
Another cliff with Michelle. :)
It's Jamsin Cliff! We jumped into a picture because we felt like it. :D [Nope, we don't know those people. Lol.]
Me and Mandy. I'm so sunburnt.
Julian peeps in.
Holly, last night at Phu Kradung in her NEWLY RENTED SLEEPING BAG.
2 AM Picture Time!!!!!!!!
Smile. :D
Come on, smile. It's 2 AM!!!!
It's Yuki Ipi! :D
Last breakfast at The Champ.
The Champ, our #1 food headquarters. With Julian walking away.
...no comment.
Woo Rotary!
A picture of a person taking a picture of a person hugging a tree.... :D
Pretty trees.
Revisting some signs.
It's a mountain cat. I swear!
This metal grate thing... it really is the most natural thing we've encountered during our hiking.
It's a broken rock.... seriously. Both pieces. Right there.... I took one piece home.
Bamboooooo.
Is a cool-looking tree.
Is a deadly-looking tree.
Is a tree canopy.
Is the bathroom.
How did someone manage to lose a shoe and forget about it ON THE HIKE UP [OR DOWN]?!
More tourist fun-ness.
Le zoom.
Hking down.
Last ice cream stop on the way down.
Saying “later” to the trees with my travel buddy, Kitty.
SAVE NATURE!
Thank you, Captain Obvious!
