Less hilly but very wild. It will see us going through jungles and tropical forests for many kilometers without crossing any village. The atmosphere will be magical and sometimes oppressive; progress in some areas might be difficult. I even got lost when I was looking for the track. Hopefully now I have the complete GPS track to help!<\/p>\n<p>Appart from a small way up at the beginning of the day, we will only run down on the first part of this stage. This won&#8217;t be a luxury after the mountain stage of yesterday. We will ease our pain and relax our legs bruised by over 150k and 8500m+ of running in 3 days. This will also allow us to take time to enjoy the journey. We will run most of the time alongside rivers. We could enjoy a magical atmosphere among butterflies, banana trees and ubiquitous flora.<\/p>\n<p>We will quickly go through the Karen village of Mae Kon and the Thai village of Pong Ung to immediately plunge into a wild atmosphere. After walking alongside the Mae Ping River (which flows to the south through Chiang Mai), we will turn to the East alongside a small stream to reach back to Ling Luang. The atmosphere will be magical but could be treacherous thanks to the technical parts and the humid jungle. The progress will be very slow and the track sometimes dfficult to find.<\/p>\n<p>The last part of our journey will be very steep and difficult after more than 40k done in a day. We will then begin to enter the beautiful and evergreen mountains of Northern Thailand at the border with Mynamar. After 4k to &#8220;climb&#8221; a track at almost 15%, we will reach the stop for the night: Pha Daeng, a village created by Chinese Chiang Kai Chek fighters refugees here after being defeated by the Communists.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-471 gallery-columns-5 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a
