Thailand Crescendo

Over 19 Days to support the Long Range Recce Patrol Course ( LRRP in short ). in Thailand Crescendo, Sai Yok Camp. The location is at kanchanaburi province. the camp is surrounded by forest and mountains behind the camp there is a river named river kuai which will lead to the death railway. Let me tell you more about the things happen in thailand. my bunk can be said to be an officer bunk and it is not sound proof is like it going to collapses coz i was sleeping on the ground floor while the NSmen sleep on the second. so whenever the people is walking you can hear sounds ( hard to explain). For the LRRP trainees i think they look like the coolies in the 1900s coz their bunk is like open space and is 20 men per bunk and is cramp together.

The Bathing area is open space so u can see everyone n***d. As for the water is taken from the river and is filtered so it is drinkable. (if I'm not wrong) . you can see lots of insects like fire flies, hornets, grass hopper ( is quite big).

My friends got to go out field and they climb 430 stairs to a temple which is build on top of one of the mountain and they took some photos. i will post the photo once i get hold the photo.
and one of the NSmen cook discovered something after he delivered the jelly can to the trainees (from another mountain). when he was walking down he was a poisonous snake was battling with a giant centipedes. guess what the centipedes won the battle.
