This was one of the highlights of my trip and was such an amazing day from start to finish, I was picked up from my hotel in Khao Lak by a very polite driver who took me the hours drive into phang gna, once I arrived I was greeted by a lovely lady called Mara, who spoke very good English and made me feel very welcome, she gave me an explanation of how the day would be laid out and then provided me with some refreshing iced tea and water before heading off to do some zip lining, I was very nervous as heights are a bit of a fear and the lads were so helpful giving me encouraging words and cheering me on. We then did some quad biking, the guide on the quad bikes was a very lovely man, he would stop now and then to check I was okay and took photos for me, we did a stop half way through to look at some amazing views and a waterfall, the views in the jungle were amazing, we started off a little slow and on a normal path but he was just checking I was able to drive the bike safely and then we moved onto off-road areas of the jungle through lots of water up lots of hills and overlooking amazing views of the jungle, once we finished we got back and had some more refreshments before taking a drive out to the water rafting. As I was the only one who booked the trip this day the lads made me feel like a VIP all day and were very attentive making sure I was having fun and were so nice to me, making me laugh and going out their way to make me smile, the water rafting was so much fun, they made me feel safe and would always hold me if I ever felt unsteady but it was still definitely an adrenaline inducing activity and I loved it. When leaving here we headed back to the main base where they prepared the most beautifully presented meal for me, it was more than I could have expected or imagined, so much effort went into it and I really enjoyed it. Mara had also been taking pictures and videos of me all day doing the activities as I was solo. She then sent me these through what’s app which was so thoughtful she made sure to get loads of footage for me. Some images were also printed and put in a beautiful frame with the option for me to buy. Which I did, it was not overpriced and was a lovely souvenir for me to have memories of the day. After this the driver took me to the Buddhist monkey cave temple, it was beautiful and there were lots of monkeys outside. I was worried they’d bite me or try and take my things but they didn’t they were actually very friendly and didn’t invade your personal space unless you intently held your hand out to them to offer food. The driver told me to take my time looking around and once I was finished we begun the journey back. This was such a lovely day and I would reccomend this trip to anyone! Thank you to Mara, the driver, and the boys who made my day very special 🩷
