Kayaks, caves, mangroves and monkeys. Today was another day of high adventure. Along with our Thai guide and our new friends from Manchester, England, we kayaked along a river and through the mangroves exploring to several caves carved into ancient limestone mountains. In several places we actually paddled through the caves, gliding through the dark caverns and dodging the stalactites to emerge into secluded grottos and lagoons. In one called Thum Khao Wong (The Garden of Eden) the vertical walls of the grotto were thick with vegetation, and high in the tree tops we caught brief glimpses of some endangered Macaque monkeys.
We finished off the day with an extraordinary seafood dinner at a restaurant high in the hills overlooking the town of Ao Nang and the surrounding beaches. There's nothing like a great meal and a breathtaking sunset to finish off another day of adventuring.
