Khao
Yai National Park is just two hours outside Bangkok, but a
whole different world. Lush, green jungle covers the hilly
landscape where monkeys, elephants, tigers, and sun bears
roam wild. Unfortunately, as most jungles, the large animals
are extremely difficult to find, especially as they become
more rare. We were lucky to spot some monkeys and gibbons
as well as many smaller creatures. Walking through the forest
was rather stressful, as leeches could be found throughout
the trails, waving on the ground looking for prey. We wore
leech socks and had to be ever-vigilant to flick them off
our legs before they found bare skin to sink their teeth into.
