Two weeks in Koh Samui passed quickly and it was soon time to start a 5 week journey through South East Asia, starting with a trek to the peak at Phu Kradueng National Park with Martin, Tik and A.
I flew back up North to Bangkok early on Saturday 4th December ready to meet Craig at Suvarnabhumi airport that afternoon, although due to a flight delay he arrived early Sunday morning. After picking up Craig we headed East from there towards Khon Kaen, Tik’s home town and our rest stop before climbing the mountain.
On our way to Khon Kaen we spotted a cool little place in Pimai, Korat called Prasat Hin Phimai (or Pimai Sandstone Sanctuary) – basically a large park type area with ancient ruined temples. The sun was shining and Tik’s camera was constantly clicking as we slowly walked around. Some great pictures were taken here including some creative action shots – check out the Pimai Sandstone Pictures on Tik’s Flickr photo stream (don’t miss this shot!).
As the day wore on we continued our drive up to Khon Kaen where Tik’s family still live. We enjoyed a great meal with them all together and here Craig sampled his first proper Thai meal (including the notoriously hot chillies!).
The next day we woke early to leave Khon Kaen, get a good breakfast and start our trip in Phu Kradueng.
