Khao Sok

Our arrival at Morning Mist resort in Khao Sok was not quite what we expected – we had been allocated the last available room which was somewhat below par and only stayed on the promise of an upgrade to a better room after one night. The owner/manager is a Thai/Chinese lady who seemed to spend most of her time behind the desk counting her money.

However, true to her word she arrange the new room for us after breakfast and has since been very helpful. The rooms are set amongst lovely gardens and we are surrounded by wildlife again.

There are probably a dozen or so small resorts on the road leading to the National Park along with a couple of bars, coffee shops and restaurants. While very different from Koh Ra, it is still fairly quiet and relaxed.

It is definitely warmer by a few degrees here than on the coast – and we miss the cooling sea breezes which were almost always there – early afternoon temperatures are probably over 30C but it cools down again quite quickly in the evening.
