Jungle treehouse

We rolled into Khao Sok in the mid afternoon on a crazy local bus to find our perfect jungle hideaway :-) a tree house type thing on stilts set on the edge of the Ridge with stellar views over the jungle! It rained quite a bit when we first arrived but suited us as we just chilled in the large hammock on our balcony!

The next day we did an elephant trek through the jungle, met by several guys who couldn't speak a word of English we were taken deep into the jungle in a 4x4, we finally get there and there is an elephant waiting for us, after climbing on top, we set off down the track, the elephant ignoring the young guy who was leading us and seemed more interested in eating anything it could wrap its trunk around! So slowly but surely we made our way deeper into the jungle.

The Jungle

Our Elephant

The elephant swaying from side to side as he walked down the hill into the river, the crappy seat that were strapped into started to swing from side to side a bit, seemed pretty dodgy as it was only held on by some old rope! But it held us in...just

Riding the Elephant

View from our treehouse

It was awesome to be on the elephant as it waded down the river, eventually reaching an amazing little waterfall, where our little guide, (he must have been about 15) showed us the way to jump in from the top, climb behind the waterfall and jumping in, climbing the vines...and all sorts of Tarzan-esq jumping around.

K&T in the waterfall

plodded back to Elephant HQ, and just climbed off Dumbo as it started tipping it down monsoon style...so dived in the car and went back to our tree house!
