A Windy Day on the Kings Birthday

After stopping my alarm at 5am this morning I decided not to go to the festival, although their was no real reason, energy was low and winds were a bit high. Luckily/unluckily however there was no flight this morning, there was an excess 0f 10kts on the ground making it unsafe to fly.
Instead once again, at around 08:30 I had some more knocking on my door with Thai ladies informing me that balloonists were here for me. It was John and Co., they told me about the winds and offered a coffee, they were on their way to Khao Yai and wondered if I fancied it, I leaped at the opportunity and boarded their private chauffeur driven, air-con bus!
After the coffee we went and had a ride on a elephant closely followed by a tour around the park, it was gorgeous and we visited one of their largest waterfalls' named Haew Narok Waterfall. Khao Yai is also where they filmed the scene from the beach when Leonardo DiCaprio dives of the waterfall, we didn't visit this one however because it's smaller (25m) and is crowed with tourists 24/7.
Now, with time becoming an issue, we started the 1-2hr bus journey back to the launch site. Once again with wind becoming an issue the balloonists instead tried putting on a display in the form of tethers. There was however 4 balloons launching for short flights just to please the press and organizers. We were all done however by around 18:30 and then proceeded to the BBQ at the south end of the site.
The BBQ was nice, as well as being free, so it was great for me to be at. The only problem now however is as time progressed I was becoming stuck outside of Pak Chong and my resort with no transport so I needed to sort something out. In the end I organized, with the help of the festivals organizers, a lift back with the catering company. This is where I met Jah (a girl) and Pee (a man), they were both lovely and I ended up going for a drink with them, then to Pee's house and then lastly I got dropped to the resort around 22:30. The wind's were strong by now so no flight was happening in the morning so I went to bed planning in a lie in!
