Yesterday I woke up and I realised we were going on a full day tour. I was excited but we were going at 8:00 so I ate breakfast really fast and got on the truck.
We took off towards Khao Yai national park. On the way to the park I met a photographer on the truck, she was cool. Her name was Nora. We stopped on a corner up in the park and saw a huge Hornbill. Hornbills are tropical birds. (hornbills are the kings of the tropical forest). Then we were going up the hill in the truck to the lookout to look over Pak Chong and when we got there 2 monkeys were crossing the road. Myself, Dad and Helen went down to have a look at the monkeys while the other pepole went to look out over the town. The monkeys had a red behind and brown face of tough fur and their species are called pig tailed macaques.
After looking for a while we saw one in the tree beside us and then we went back to the truck to put on our socks. (socks are white socks that go up to just under your knee to protect people from leechs and ticks). Ticks bury themselves in your skin and leechs dig their teeth in your skin and suck your blood. You have to burn them off with a lighter. Luckily I didn’t get any leechs but I did get a few ticks. I had to pull them off with my fingers.
After a 2 hour walk in the jungle we had lunch and got in the truck to go to Hew Suwat water fall. The water fall was really high. It was creepy when we went to the top and at the bottom of the water fall we took a photo of us all standing under the water fall on a rock.
Afterwards, we took the truck and went elephant sighting. I got to stand on the top of the truck, it felt like a computer game dodging the branches. Dad got hit in the face while he was telling me to look out for branches. It was fun up there but we didn’t find any wild elephants so we headed for home.
This is a list of anamals that we saw.
