Isan, Northeast THAILAND

Back on the trails!

Over the past few days I spent hiking in the Khao Yai National park, looking for the Asian Sun Bears and Malayan Bears. Didn't see either, but did see a fair amount of wildlife including the Giant Hornbills, Gibbons, Macaques, Elephants, Barking Deer, Crocodiles, and a lot of smaller critters and creatures including huge black scorpions. Awesome rain forests with several thundering waterfalls.

Now in the area of Khon Kaen - the heart of Isan and indulging in very delicious Isan cuisine! Really nice people and most people speak at least some basic English.
