Ban Hua Koong
We walked from Hua Hee to Hua Koong to spend the night. The town has about 10 houses with about 3 inhabited. Most have owners that work in the town but keep their house in the village. This is the family we stayed with - sweet couple with their young daughter and grandchildren. The husband has an amazing story about being attacked by a huge wild pig in the jungle! He said the pig was higher than his hips - and the size of the teeth mark scars on his arms seem to confirm that! We slept on the floor in the pic - thankfully under the mosquito net, but with no real comforts of a mat or pillow. Remarkably I slept pretty well but when I woke up in the morning, the first thing I said out loud was, "Oh God," which made Gloria laugh pretty hard. Also in typical fashion, I managed to get bit by some crazy ants and my arm swelled up in two places giving me the Popeye look. At least it wasn't my face.
