Khao Yai Thailand

Today we went in search of the herd of elephants that roam in Khao Yai National Park.

Ran into these guys instead. 

Khao Yai is the oldest and largest. Thailand National Park, about a three hour drive north of Bangkok, but it feels worlds away.

 We didn’t see elephants, but YoYo, our guide and a walking encyclopedia, showed us, among other thing,  how to make tea using a piece of wood from a cinnamon tree. 

Speaking of other worlds, our hotel looks like something out of Alice in Wonderland. British everything, including manicured gardens and a hedge maze.

And of course, afternoon tea.

Curiouser and Curiouser, we seem to be the only Western guests.
