36 hours in Khao Sok part 1

On the boat again but with ten instead of twenty people.
Just incredible vertical walls and crazy shapes
And the water is such a deep aqua color
I wish pictures captured the grandeur better.
Then we took a 2km hike with a giant spider. PM me if you want the underside, edge on shows his relative size better, he is in the top 1/4 of the web.
To this ranger station where rangers switch out every week to measure lake levels etc.
To take a cane raft to a different cave. If you look closely it looks like many elephants holding up each layer.
Not much relief from the heat here either, but this is maybe the biggest “bacon strip” formation I’ve seen.
Then the raft back
Hiking back
Lemurs up the trees, too far away to see well in pictures. But one had a reddish baby tagging along on her stomach.
Such great cliffs everywhere!
Evening “safari” in the boat
Wild elephants!!!!
Big male, grazing on the vines.
A female and there is a baby in there too.
And two females and a baby bathing around the corner!
Off they go back into the jungle.
She really flaps her ears a lot. There must be bugs.
I really can’t believe we saw wild elephants! We are so lucky!
And then to our floating bungalow. Beautiful view but hard bed and no AC for the first sleep since we got here. Not great sleep. and up early next day for morning safari!

    So envious of the water color and the cave formations! And the elephants and lemurs. Didn’t expect lemurs!
