• Khao Sok Day 1 - R&R

    January 5, 2024 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    Once all settled in at the Montania… we snagged a bite at a peaceful, sit-on-pillow Thai restaurant down the way. Food was delicious and made me want to seek out a place back home where I can dine in this fashion!

    From there… poolside where one could lay in quiet, except for the many jungle birds singing their tunes. Mike educated me on the “karst” mountains that surrounded us with their beauty and I pondered the news that this jungle was older than the Amazon (not Besos) . And that there were a reported 200 wild elephants still roaming this park. Jurassic Park anyone? Raptors? Hope I recognize them (😉, inside joke).

    The sun set so we ventured back to our bungalow where we barely cleaned up and headed back to the small town for dinner.

    The restaurant was full of young backpacking travelers, just taking in life. For Mike and I, we were “mature” travelers, taking in life. Same same but different. No backpacking for us. Would be a shame for us to climb those mountains in half the time they do… so we will sit that out.

    Mike challenged me to a game of Jenga instead and in my true competitive nature, I accepted. I’ll let you guess who won. 😉

    Off to lake tomorrow! Know that we love you all!

    🤍 M&A 🤍
