Khao Sak and Khao Lak




Dave and I spent some time hiking around Khao Sak National Park in the unbearable humidity. We met a lot of a great people in a really short time and spent our time sitting around bonfires, drinking Singha or going hiking and swimming. This park is particularly famous for a type of lotus that blooms once every six years producing a scent similar to rotting carcasses. This lotus is interesting because it does not root in the water, but roots in tree roots. We didn't get to see any wild animals that the park has, as you have to hike deep into the jungle for many days, but we did get a lot of one on one time with our hotel's pet Langur monkey, Lulu. Today we are in Khao Lak and looking to go diving at the Similan Islands or for some wreck diving!
