ROUGH ELEPHANT RIDE IN CHANG PUAK CAMP, DAMNOEN SADUAK, THAILAND

September 17, 2016
MABUHAY!

TRAVELLING AS IT IS! - is an unedited video footage of my travelling experience. My concept of travelling is riding public transportation, road trip from home to a job destination or just a stroll around the neighborhood. You can hear, feel and see the “REAL” sights & sounds of a place or destination that are usually not tourist trail. There are lot of street food to taste, adventures to seek, lots of local people to meet as well as fellow travelers wanting to share their own personal experiences. ENJOYING LIFE - AS IT IS!

Start: CHANG PUAK CAMP

Destination: ELEPHANT SANCTUARY

Mode of Transportation: ELEPHANT

During our company sponsored outing in Thailand, we trekked upon the narrow foot path -riding at the back of an elephant.

The rough elephant ride at Chang Puak camp in Damnoen Saduak, Thailand brings back my childhood memory. I remember the days when my friends took me for a ride at the back of a carabao (water buffalo) to fetch their herd back home. I remember our bumpy ride through the muddy rice fields of our hometown Pampanga. This ride is similar but the elephant’s back is higher. The trail is not as rough as the rice fields maybe because the tour operator doesn’t want any untoward accident to happen. But since it’s my first time to ride an elephant, it’s a travel adventure really worth filming.

ROAD TRIP ON FOG-COVERED ROAD IN TAGAYTAY CITY

Start: Batangas City

Destination: Tagaytay City

Mode of Transportation: Car

During our trip from Batangas City, we navigated the road through Tagaytay City headed for Manila. Tagaytay City is a favorite summer vacation destination due to its cool weather and beautiful mountain scenery. I took a video footage of this road trip because it’s my first time to see this fog so thick that you hardly see the road. It’s an almost ZERO visibility meaning you cannot see the road clearly from a distance of 100 meters. This road condition is too dangerous along with the continuous rain that is why I’m glad we made it home safe. It’s a travel adventure worth reminiscing.

NATURE TRIPPING AT BATAAN NATIONAL PARK

MABUHAY!

I was searching for the exact location of Kairukan Falls on the internet, and I found out that it was located on Sitio Kairukan in Brgy. Binaritan within the Bataan National Park area. This is a photo journal of our family vacation travel adventure in Bataan National Park.

The majestic Kairukan Falls

GETTING THERE

From our former house at Arayat, Pampanga, at 5:00am, we navigated the road leading to San Fernando City. Then we headed to Dinalupihan, Balanga City then Morong, Bataan. At 7:00 am, we reached Brgy. Binaritan. Then we continued our journey and stopped at the gate of Bataan Technology Park Inc. (BTPI) and asked the security guards stationed there for some directions.

Bataan Technology Park Inc.

The Bataan Technology Park, a 365 hectare of land along the rolling hills of the Morong Special Economic Zone in Bataan overlooking the South China Sea, is the former site of the United Nations Philippine Refugee Processing Center (PRPC). From 1980 to 1994, the PRPC hosted more than 350,000 refugees from the Indochinese peninsula- Vietnamese, Laotians, and Khmers from Cambodia.

Stopping by on a small Aeta community, I learned that Kairukan falls is 4 to 5 hours more from where we are. It was already 10:00am so if we insisted, we will be there around 3:00pm The local folks told us also that it will be very dangerous for the children to walk on the steep and rough jungle trail leading to the falls. That is why those tourists who really want to go there bring along their tents and sleep in a nearby camping site then they must start hiking around 5am.

SWIMMING ON A SMALL RIVER
So not to spoil the fun, the local folks send us two kids to guide us to a nearby river where we can swim and have our picnic.
