Thank you for answer. I come back to Thailand in February and than I will go to that shop in Buri Rum. Yes I think of two part ladder with a rope or even a three part one.

Normaly it's the third weekend in November.

I already booked the hotel SURIN MAJESTIC in Surin for the elephant roundup 2010 and they told me the date 20 and 21 of November.

We are also going for a few days when the kid finish school. I am looking for not-too-expensive accommodation. preferably a bungalow with two bedrooms, or something like that. Close to hikling trails would be ideal.

Also any advice on trails and guides, child-friendly, for wildlife spotting?

Thanks,

Mike

A good accommodation is the Palm Garden Lodge near Prachin Buri.

It's a familial and very friendly little lodge and they have skilful guides.

Look at their homepage palmgalo.com
