We woke up nice and early this morning, so that we could catch a bus on to Khao Sok, where there is a hugh National Park. We had some breakfast, packed our bags and then made our way down to the bus station. Luckily, there was a bus there that was just about to leave so we climbed aboard. The bus took us to a place called Takua Pa, where we had to change buses and catch another on to our final destination.When we got to Khao Sok, we climbed off the bus and were approached by loads of people from the different guest houses - all trying to convince us to stay with them. One of the men had the strangest sales pitch EVER. Whenever he saw someone talking to one of the other people he would get angry and start screaming 'Why doesn't anyone want to follow the crazy f#@%ing local guy?'. Surprisingly, nobody went with him - but I can't think why?
We chose the Khao Sok Bungalows and they're great! They're run by a little family and our room is up on stilts, in amongst the trees. We have got fantastic views of the National Park and surrounding mountains. After dropping off our bags we headed up to the entrance of the park. It was getting quite late, so we couldn't go too far, but we did walk for a just over an hour deep into the trees.
This evening, we got ready and then went out to the reggae bar next door to our guest house. We had great fun, sipping beer whilst sat on the floor, listening to (more) Bob Marley. After a couple of drinks we came back to our place for some food and then went to another bar where they were having a party... Rock on!
Oh look, more of beautiful Thailand!
