On Day 15 the group traveled to Tran for one night before heading to Koh Hai. On the way to Tran we stopped at a local hot spring and national park to go swimming. The hot spring was extremely hot, probably hotter than most hot tubs in the states. It was very refreshing to get out of the vans and relax in the spring for a short while. After the hot springs we headed to a National park to go swimming in a cool spring. The water was very clear and the surrounding forest was beautiful. When we arrived at Tran we immediately noticed that it was not a typical tourist destination. Being foreign in the city instantly made you a celebrity and everyone looked at us as if they had never seen Americans before. After we got settled we ate at the hotel and went to get two hour Thai massages. After the massages we went to a bar/club that was attached to the hotel to celebrate three of the group member's birthdays. The club was very big and packed with local Thai people, but Dr. Duke was able to score us VIP treatment because we were American. After socializing at the bar for a couple of hours we went back to the hotel to go to sleep.
