Erawan National Park
The entrance of the park cost 300baths per person and for the accommodation they propose, inside the park, bungalows and also renting camp equipment. Tents, pillows, sleeping bags, cookers, pans etc... We paid 225baths to rent a tent for three persons for one night plus 10baths for a pillow and 20 baths for a mattress.

There is a nice calm in the park which is often disturbed by the birds ‘singing. The park is a succession of seven waterfalls with on top, turquoise water because of the white stones. We experimented the fishes that eat the dead skins. Some were very big and the sensation is weird but we get used to. More we have it for free in a beautiful place when people go to Kao San road and pay for the same service. We stayed four days there then forwards to Chiang Mai for a Buddhist retreat. We take the bus for 50 baths to go to Kanchanaburi then, at the same bus station another bus for Chiang Mai (around 600 baths per person).
We will stay just one night in Chiang Mai because our retreat starts the day after. We take a yellow tuktuk bus at the south gate in Chiang Mai to go to Chomtong, 60 kilometers from Chiang Mai.
Buddhist retreat in Chomtong
Because it was complicated for us to find an email address valid I give you the one we used: reservationchomtong@yahoo.com
For people who don't know about the retreat, it's meditation every day and approximately 15 hours per day, two meals, one at 6am et the other one at 11am, it is not allow to eat after midday and 6 hours sleep not more, so bed time at 10pm and wake up at 4am and silence. They recommend to follow the entire course which is between 12 and 20 days but you can do just few days like us.
We stayed five days with Céline and four for Marion who went back to Bangkok one day before us to meet her friend Dari. I liked the way they manage the meditation center because they give us some freedom like get out from the center to go to the supermarket and talk.
Those five days were really interesting, first about the discovery of Buddhism, then the discovery of ourselves.
I don't have a lot to say about, I think that you have to live it, not talk about it!
Departure for Bangkok and his airport to flight towards Nepal.
