Khao sok

Two days ago we said farewell to the beach and traveled to the jungle. We are staying at a nice place up in the trees called las orquideas. It is a really nice place and the owner has given us really personalized service. 

We are really in a small town just outside of Khao sok. Up here we are really getting a taste of why it is monsoon season. It rains all day but it is actually kind of nice. We have still been able to do everything we want to do.

The first day we just kind of relaxed and explored on our own. It is really different in this area. Something interesting is that everyone lives at their place of work. For example, while we ate dinner (open air patio) the family was just a few tables over watching tv (mostly soap operas and the Thai soap operas are really over the top. We had fun making up scenarios of what was going on). It was their living room. It was the same at the massage places. 

The restaurant was really good. It was called thaiherb. Everyone is getting a little more adventurous with their orders. The great part is if you don't like something just order something else because the dinners are only 2 dollars anyway. It got especially exciting when a bat starting swooping down over us.
