Lost in the jungle

We're waiting for our bus to the Thailand/Laos border, so there's just about time to give you a quick taster of the last three days we spent trekking through the Doi Inthanon national park:

• Having a shower under a waterfall


• Crossing rapids by walking over a fallen tree


• Barbecuing and eating wild frog


• Eating flying squirrel soup, with the head sticking out over the edge of the bowl (photo to follow!)


• The guide getting lost in the middle of the jungle and marking trees in case we needed to backtrack on ourselves


• Climbing to the highest peak in Thailand and looking out over the clouds


• Being lulled to sleep in a bamboo hut by the sounds of a waterfall


• Riding on an elephant's neck.
