3 days ago, we flew from Luang Prabang, Laos (via Bangkok) to Phuket in southern Thailand. We took a van from Phuket to Khao Sok National Park which holds 5% of animal species in the world. We are staying at Khao Sok Riverfront Resort. Yesterday, in the middle of our stay, we took a boat to floating bungalows which you can see in picture 5, on Lake Cheow Lan, which is 45 metres deep!!! We were going to stay there for two days and one night. We swam so much in the lake. On the first day we hiked to Nam Talu Cave. We had to wear life jackets because the cave had water that was pretty deep. Our guide was named Kiki. He spotted so so many spiders in the cave. I got a little freaked out at times. One time that I was freaked out was when we had to climb down a waterfall in the cave, because it was so narrow that it could only fit a single file line. When we finally came out of the cave I was exhausted. We took the boat back to the bungalows and swam some more. That night, we had a delicious dinner of fish and noodles. Then we were rocked to bed by the waves. The next morning we woke up at 6:30am to go on an early morning boat safari. We saw monkeys, gibbons, and giant hornbills (a species similar to the toucan). Can you spot the langur monkey in picture 7? Gibbons have a lifespan of 25 years in the wild, and are monogamous mammals that form lifelong bonds. Gibbons are members of the ape family but are faster then most primates and can travel as far as 10 metres in one jump and can swing through the trees at speeds as fast as 56km/hr. After the safari ended, we returned for breakfast and swam, again. Next we took the boat to a cave called Pra Kay Petch Cave. We walked through the cave while learning about the species in the cave such as spiders and bats. Then we took the boat back to the pier and took the van back to Khao Sok Riverfront Resort.
