Khao Sok Day 2 - Float your Boat

Ever heard of the saying… “Whatever floats your boat?” What about “whatever floats your hotel”? Yes to the first, no the second, right?

Well… our Day 2 in Khao Sok National Park had bolth (yes, it is spelled wrong but Mike will laugh so I’m going with it) we had a floating boat and a floating hotel!

Our journey today began aboard a long-tail boat (see Bangkok Day 3 post for more details on these rolling coal machines). A 40-minute scenic filled ride on Cheow Larn Lake brought us to Panvaree the Greenery Resort, a floating hotel nestled in the lake’s cove. No smoking allowed here so clearly “Greenery” excluded the wacky tabacky and was 100% due to the lush green that covered these limestone mountains (aka karsts). Pics do not do this place justice!

Once settled, we delighted in some lunch and a float. The water was so refreshing and clean!

At 5pm, we gathered back to the long-tail for a sunset cruise for a karst tour and watch the sun fade to wrap-up another beautiful day God has made. ☀️ Monkeys (not Phra KK - totally different monk) were rampant along the mountainsides. Not a care in the world, swinging from branch to branch, and scaling the cliffs. Zero fear. Almost envious of their care-free approach moving about knowing full well of the possible zillion mile drop.

Sunset = 💛. Hard to find the words to express the emotion and thoughts behind these pictures. God’s hands all over this! Mama said there would be days like this but holy moly…. God sure brought his A game.

Told Mike how in the world will we ever beat this trip???? He said… challenge accepted.

Big hugs!
