Phetchaboon or Petchabun





This week we traveled out to Phetchaboon, or Petchabun. Another funny thing about Thailand is that you can spell things practically any way you want to. Maps and directions are very interesting. We are finally adjusting though, another time when you just have to give up on the idea of anything being efficient or organized, you just have to think of how something "could" be spelled and go with it. :) Anyway, Petchaboon is about 4 hours northeast of Bangkok in the mountains. Maddie had the day off of school on Wednesday and then we kept her out on Thursday too. Mint came with us and we had a wonderful couple of days hiking through the rain forest, birdwatching (Jeff and I got about 6 lifers on this trip!), eating, and visiting with friends. These pictures don't do the gigantic plants proper justice. These palm fronds are at least 30 feet long. Everything is bigger in the Rain Forest!
