The view from my tent
Thursday, December 31, 2015
Arrived in Bangkok on December 27 and spent a few days there while Sophon visited family. This morning, we flew from Bangkok to Surat Thani which is in the southern part of Thailand. I had booked a package at the Elephant Hills resort and was really excited about it. In addition to seeing, feeding and washing elephants, there was a list of activities that sounded like a lot of fun. This was going to be camp for adults and kids.
Khao Sak is a national park close to 300 square miles including a large man-made lake. It was established in the 1980’s and is the largest protected rain-forest in Southern Thailand. We were staying at the eco-friendly Elephant Hills Camp (http://www.elephanthills.com/) for two nights in a deluxe safari tent with an attached bathroom followed by a night at the Elephant Hills Rainforest Camp staying on a floating tent.
We were picked up at the Surat Thani airport by the resort and taken to the camp. We were given tent number 34 and we settled in before lunch. Although technically it was a tent, it was built on a platform with hardwood floors and there was an attached bathroom with sink toilet and shower. It was not like we were roughing it in the wild.
