Thailand- Khao Sok National Park

So I've been a bit behind on blogging for the last week due to being busy and sickness (it's bound to happen when your here). So my next few posts may be a bit random and of varied things throughout the week.

On Wednesday 17th we took a day lake trip around the Khao Sok national park, I had seen pictures of the beautiful rocks and cliff faces before so was pretty excited! We arrived and as soon as we got on the boat we found ourselves in torrential rain! It stayed like this for pretty much the whole day which made the views very different to what I had seen in the pictures! However it was still amazing too see, we got taken to the famous three friends rocks first, before going to land to hike to catch a bamboo boat to a coral cave. 




The coral cave was a lot bigger than I expected and the inside did actually look like large fry bits of coral. However the darkness and the spiders did make it a bit more scary. 





We then tracked back through the rain over the hills, to get back on the boat to head for lunch, by this point in the day everything was wet, it is weird being in a place where you are soaked but can still manage to sweat at the same time! 
They had many little 'resorts' dotted around the national park made up of little wooden huts floating on wood and barrels, we stopped at one for lunch and a swim and kayak in the beautiful and warm green lakes they water was 28 degrees! After this all I was looking forward to a nice warm shower, turns out ours didn't fancy being warm, so it was a cool one for us!
