Relaxing wonderful area. 12 hours by train. Nightlife isn't crazy but they do have a few good reggae bars, i forget the location - it's pretty popular. and cheap! -------------------- DJSkylab.com: My blog :) ArtOfBackpacking.com: Backpacking Independent International Traveler Facebook "They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself." -Andy Warhol "My body has certainly wandered a good deal, but I have an uneasy suspicion that my mind has not wandered enough." -Noel Coward

It was bloody hard work. Only 2 days but I remember half way through the second day walking round a corner and coming face to face with an enormous elephant! Awesome! When we had ridden the elephants for an hour we got to a clearing and there were 4 or 5 elephants there. The guides offered us bananas to feed the elephants with. Amazingly I was the only one who accepted and proceeded to have a herd of elephants (and trunks!) chasing me around the clearing! One of the highlights of my life! £20 for a 2 day trek (it was 3 years ago though) staying over night with a Thai tribe. It was worth 10 times that. Enjoy!

All organized on tours so it's pretty easy. -------------------- DJSkylab.com: My blog :) ArtOfBackpacking.com: Backpacking Independent International Traveler Facebook "They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself." -Andy Warhol "My body has certainly wandered a good deal, but I have an uneasy suspicion that my mind has not wandered enough." -Noel Coward
