Note I posted another entry from Khao Sok at the same time as this entry so navigate over and check it out!! The day we left Khao Sok (yesterday) consisted of waking up at nine. We packed up our things and had one more cold shower in the jungle. We went down to the lobby and checked out hoping to do some email checking and post a blog only to find the Internet was down. At 11:30 our minibus showed up and we were off to the Surat Thani airport. Our driver was a ...

Our first sleep in the rainforest was pretty good. I was only startled awake once at 340am by a strange cry. It was Niki shouting out half asleep about a big bug in the mosquito net. Turned out it was only a dream brought on by the sound of a big bug flying around our treehouse outside the mosquito net. Later that morning, we woke up to the sound of rain and hoped they would still be running the tour. Lucky for us they were! There were eight of us all together....

We were told yesterday when we arranged our mini bus that it would be there to get us at 6am. We packed up the majority of our stuff and set our alarm for 545am today. At 550am Tan was at our door to tell us the driver was there. This led to a slight rush to get the remaining items into our bags and to the street. We climbed into the minibus which is a large minivan with seats for the driver and ten passengers. The bus drove around picking up people from other re...

Our mini bus will leave from here at six am! It will go on a ferry to Krabi where we will get another mini bus to take us the rest of the way to Khao Sok. It is very far b...

To those of you back home wishing our vacation wasn't so awesome and being jealous please stop. Our little piece of island paradise here at the mango house is now a touch less of a paradise. We were woken up this morning at 740 to the noise of every possible construction tool and noise simultaneously going off. Hand saws, electric saws, hammers, sledge hammers, concrete chipping...you name it and I'm pretty sure I can hear it. I think there is an army of 300 rig...
