Night Safari

We are going on a night safari to see some critters. Apparently, the safari already started with these visitors on our balcony-lol!

We met our night safari guide - Don at our hotel. He was very nice and we were joined by a German couple. A block up the street Don showed us how locals extract rubber from rubber trees.

Next, we walked to the entrance of the Khao Sok National park and registered. We proceeded to hike through gorgeous rain forest. Within the 1st ten minutes, Don spotted a short tailed Monkey hidden in the canopy of threes and bamboo. I had shot some nice video of this monkey. I thought it was quite remarkable how Don used his hearing and sight to identify the monkey so quickly.

As the safari progressed we saw tarantulas, various spiders (some large), scorpions, centipedes, colorful birds and even sleeping lemurs!

Don and about safari guide set a camp fire and made us coffee and tea from water boiled in bamboo. They even made bamboo cups and spoons.

It was quite an evening seeing interesting night critters!Read more
