Khao Sok National Park and reggae night

We set out by songthaew (after an amaaazing English breakfast buffet…baaacooon…) to the longtail boats that would take us to the rainforests of Khao Sok National Park. Each time we took the boat, I managed to be the one person to get soaking wet, despite consciously trying to pick a seat away from the spray.

After a ‘baby’ hike through the forest - we were all ready to pass out after about five minutes – and a visit to some coral caves via a very rickety bamboo raft, we had yet another awesome meal (fish and curry) by the river. Sarah, Lauren, Steve, Andy, Jenni, Julia and I went for a kayak on the river while the rest of the group chilled in the water – the river was so calm and quiet, it was a stunning experience.

Lunch!

In the evening some of us set out for the little village nearby for a pizza (on a side note, proper cheese is very hard to find in Thailand…getting a pizza with more than a speck of cheese on it is a cause for celebration). We then moved on to a ‘reggae’ bar (‘reggae bar’ in Thai meaning, ‘has-large-painting-of-bob-marley-on-the-wall-but-plays—techno-music-that-can-in-no-way-be-categorised-as-reggae) where we ordered Sex in the Jungle cocktails that looked completely different each time we bought one.
