Khao Lak Weather May 8th 2007


So we have a nice break in the weather today. Feels like the edn winter, yet it's only been a few days.
I guess we just get spoiled here. As the season is coming to an end, the real work begins. We are deep into our website - www.wickeddiving.com - for next year and doing all sorts of updates to our new website - www.liveaboardguide.com
as we bring that online. Plese give us feedback on all that as you notice things..we'd love to change and adapt to meet your needs and desires.

But not only has the season come to an end, but we are digging through the piles of pictures we have ...

So here's a really interesting one of our "leaf insects" these are pretty rare to find in the town but in the jungle these are around....really hard to find though.

This one was taken by a guest in Khao Sok National Park which is the largest National Park in Thailand, home to one of the largest dams as well as the second largest lake in the country. There are villages that got submerged beneath the rising waters and should make for great diving. But there is also a huge selection of underwater caves. This is a huge region for us in the years ahead!

You can see how beautiful the area is. This is also one of the least visited parks in Thailand, so the trekking and lodging here is incredible. The other thing this is home to...the largest flower in the world....the Rafflesia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafflesia) that is huge and stinks of rotten meat. Pretty cool....

So when you come visit, this is one of the really cool options for the area. And y'all thought this was just diving?
