Krabi Thailand Trip Day 4 - Elephant Jungle Trekking & Lunch in a Canyon!
And the last day came as quick as that, it really was fast.
We were up early again for a quick breakfast, then out to the Jungle with the owner of an outfit that does Elephant Jungle Trekking - beat that!
First up we fed the elephants with some small bananas, hmmm...nice!
Meet the Team
Each one of these buggers eats more than 200 tonnes of Pineapple leaves A DAY - amazing eh. Basically...they are either sleeping or eating, because eating so much makes them sleepy.
After that we climbed up a platform which put our feet level with the elephants backs, so we could get on easily. So we mounted up, 2-3 per elephant.
FRIM with Shutter Asia - May 26th
We headed over to FRIM again last Saturday with the Shutter Asia gang for some more crawling around in the jungle and getting all leeched up.
Don't let the guards rip you off, it's RM1 per person and RM5 per car. If you are doing commercial shoot such as bridal or wedding it's RM88. Just drive in with your camera in it's bag and you shouldn't have any problems.
We found a good variety of stuff this time (spiders, flies, damselfly, dragonfly, centipede and even a scorpion!)
Caterpillar
Spiny Spider AKA Jewel Spider Eating a MOTH!
Orb Weaver (Not sure which kind)

Some nature shots from FRIM - April 7th, 2007
There's some very nice shots in there.
It was a lovely sunny day to explore the forest, a little humid though.
We almost didn't spot this scary looking fella as he blended into the undergrowth, he looks a bit like an alien!
We called this log federal highway, termites again (I think?)
