The Mighty Wang River

Yeah so yesterday, as part of a 3 day mountain trek we all went on, the three of us ended up bamboo rafting down the Mighty Wang River (MWR). As it turns out it was about 30cm deep the entire way, except for the rapids, but I put that down to the fact that it's the dry season and the MWR is in a flacid state. Come the rainy season I'm sure it turns into an engorged, seething rush of crisp thai mountain water.

What's doubly odd is we actually found the Wang river on google before we left, and made the half hearted statement that we would find it and sail down it. And low and behold with no effort we got taken directly to it and rafted down it. There is a god.

The best part of the whole experience is that towards the end we got off the raft and got to scramble up some chunky boulders so that we could jump about 5-10m back down into the river. Our guide now has an awesome video of the three of us screaming out "WWWANNNGG" as we jump down into the MWR. Expect to see it on YouTube sometime soon...

Edit: And here it is. Behold it's almighty GLORY!
