Khao Sok National Park

Yesterday I took a day long excursion to Khao Sok National Park which is 2 hours north of Phuket Island in Surat Thani province. It is a beautiful area of  jungle/rainforest that is dotted with pinnacles of limestone karsts, slow flowing rivers, and many animals.
Upon arrival we took an hour and half float trip in one of the rivers in inflatable canoes. We floated from one beautiful scene to another.

 

 

We had a very good Thai lunch which was followed in the afternoon by a visit to areas with voracious fish to feed and playful monkeys. It started raining (not unexpected in a rainforest!) when we were ready for an elephant trek so we donned ponchos and get soaked in rain and perspiration...no photos since the camera would have got ruined.

 

After this we got back into our bust to return to the resort. The interior of the bus was decorated in typical south Asian fashion:

 

Cozy, eh? Not easy to sleep on the way back with such bright decor.
