Krabi#4 Kayak@Bor Thor & Elephant Trekking

Another full day for us! The night before, we shopped along the beach road for tours in Aonang and finally decided to do some kayaking and elephant trekking. There are whole loads of other things to do in Aonang like ATV (all terrain vehicle), rock climbing, water rafting, snorkeling, diving...

Got ourselves a package from tour operator 'Cavemen' for kayaking @ Bor Thor***** and elephant trekking*** for 1400baht per pax. Our Cavemen tour guide is really humorous and provide quality service ;) About 45 minutes car ride from Aonang, we reach the village of Bor Thor.


A different experience of kayaking around such beautiful limestones and caves.


This is the first stop, Pee Hua Toh Cave***** [means big headed ghost] there are old cave paintings dated 2000-3000 years back..




Kayaking inside the cave.. Woohoo...

Returning back to the village after the 2nd cave, we had lunch. We were so hungry that everything taste so good! After the lunch break, the exploration continues!!


We kayaked a total of 4 caves.
Garden of Eden***** is the best ever, the name really is a fantasy~ well you cant get the whole picture here, get there and you can feel it!


Enough of hand exercise, next on is elephant trekking in rubber estate. Expect bumpy ride as the elephant bring you uphill. It was a good experience, but not much to see in the rubber estate. There are other elephant trekking tours that bring ppl through forest and rivers. Guess that will be more exciting.. :)



Interesting stuff we saw: butterflies mating, our 'elephant driver' teaching us to make sounds from leaves and cobra from long grass. The little jumbos are so obedient to the owner.
P: truly, there is such thing as elephant language...
A: =.=

Inside the tuk-tuk or songthaew, can fit about 10pax. Costs 20baht per pax around the beach area.


Not forgetting, a good body massage to end our trip.. Actually we got ourselves body massage almost every night! hohooho, only 200baht per hour..
