On the second day at Krung Ching (KC) Waterfall, we decided to bird at the forest trail. The trail is a narrow cement trail that leading up
a small hill and ending at a waterfall. The trail is about 3 km. Due to the flooding and major landslide that hit this area few months ago, the trail was seriously damaged. There were some fallen tree that blocking the trail, you either have to climb over the fallen tree or crawl under the fallen tree. It made the hiking more difficult due to the massive gears that we carried (over 9 kg). In birding activities, we always say "no pain no gain", if you want to get rare birds you have to explore the habitat.

wooo... very adventurous arr the trip!

Thai people eat pulut (glutinous rice), not like us eating the normal rice. My recent experience of having fishing trips to Koh Adang tells me that Thai people eat pulut everyday..
