Rayong - Khao Chamao waterfall
This is in one of the Thai National Parks between Klaeng and Chanthaburi, with the amount of money they have spent on sign posts for this tourist attraction, ie 40 to 50 kms before you even get there I was expecting something like Niagra Falls or Yoesomite park.
I think the best way to describe this waterfall would be,hmmm, steep rapids perhaps.
Let's move rapidly onto the double pricing scams, well this don't happen here, it's 20baht for adult Thais and 200baht for adult Aliens, yep they aint scared to gouge the money out of tourists here at these national parks.
They got 4 of what they refer to as waterfalls, after the first one you aint allowed to smoke nor take food or drink with you, I got to admit I have never seen so many dustbins in one place in Thailand and the place is really clean.
They got bungalows to rent and tents and all that, but what I thought was strange was the sign in English warning it was dangerous after 4pm, dangerous for farangs? they didn't have the same sign in Thai.
The place is quite nice and I was amazed at all the fish that you could just lift out of the streams as they were so packed together, it wouldn't be sporting to go fishing there with a rod or a fishing net, hell kids were just grabbing them with their hands.
The funny thing when you enter the park is that they want to know the nationality of the Alien and they write it down, also your registration aswell, the registration of your car that is, I thought that was a bit strange.
Anyway let's move onto the good points about this place, yep no more me being negative about these tourist traps, I shall list them from 1 to 10.
1, The Water is clean, probably.
2, The Water is cool, which is pretty good if your into cold showers which I aint.
3, Loads of Fishes.
4, Loads of gals with cold erect nipples.
5, OK, I got to admit I am struggling now to think of more good things.
6, The tickets for entry had nice pictures on.
7, You wouldn't waste much petrol if you only lived down the road from here and wanted to visit it.
8, OK, I give up, the place was a dump and I begrudged paying, your a foking alien prices.
9, cold erect female nipples.
10, gals with erect nipples.
How the Thai's can think this is a destination that tourists would actually be interested in going to is beyond me, I mean travel across the world to see some steep rapids, hell come and visit Thamesmead, we got a man made lake there with fishes in it, it's lovely, but pleases remember to bring your own weapons.
