The Floating Bungalows of Khao Sok National Park

---

We all stepped of the train after no more than 3 hours of interupted sleep each to the southern area of Surat Thani. We were taken under our local guides wings - Tuk. We left our big backpacks at his mums house and headed with an overnight bag for a long-tail boat ride into the heart of Khao Sok National Park. We stopped half way for some cliff jumping and swimming in a lovely cove. By lunch time we had reached our accommodation for the night which were basic floating bungalows made from bamboo in the middle of the national park. The food there was provided by the locals and was very delicious. We had a spot of kayaking before tucking into the Sang Som and laughing the night away. Some of the gang decided to trek into the nearby mountains to explore before being chased away by vicious mosquitoes. There were more than a few bruises from the nasty slips on the sinking walkway between the bungalows but the night ended merrily with some fun and games.
