Multi Adventure Safari

As it turned out I didn't book the best day for this tour as it started raining heavily during the night, however it had stopped raining, at least temporarily, when I was picked up and taken to the Island Safari Camp.

Groomed Buffalo Photo Op

After waiting for a few minutes for the other guests to arrive the days activities started, the first activity was an Ox-cart ride, sitting in a well built all wood cart (including the wheels – no tyres) which is attached by a double yoke to two oxen we slowly ambled around a dirt track circling a rice paddy, part way round you stop for a photo opportunity, after a few minutes we

Traditional Rice Farming Methods

had completed the circuit and dismounted and headed to the next set of activities on a platform on the edge of the rice paddy. Here we had an opportunity sit astride a beautifully groomed Buffalo (another photo opportunity). After everyone who wanted to had had their turn on the buffalo we were treated to a short lecture and demonstration of traditional rice farming techniques.

Making Somtam

The next thing was something I was looking forward to, a Thai cooking demonstration, well not really cooking but preparation. Our guide showed us how to make Somtam (papaya salad), though in deference to the western palates of the other guests she only put 2 chillies into it, even so many people said it was very spicy when we got to try it.

From here we made our way to the rubber tapping and processing demonstration, sadly as it had been raining it was not possible to collect the rubber, apparently the sap contains too much water if you tap it straight after rain, but we were shown how it is tapped and and processed to make large thin sheets of latex rubber which is then used in many products, they have examples of many of these, especially those that come in packs of three.

The Elephant Trail

Then it was on to the elephant ride, at the starting station you can buy bags of bananas for the elephants, then you head of on a track around the Safari camp whilst your elephant keeps putting back it's trunk to get a banana from you, during the ride the photographer will get you to pose for a number of photos and you have more chances to buy bananas for your mount, the ride lasts about 20 minutes.

Off your elephant and on to the elephant show, at the

Elephant Massage!

time of my visit there were two young elephants (10 & 12 years old) in the show, the show was made up of simple tricks such as standing on two legs and walking on three legs and playing football and basketball and throwing darts. The finale was the elephant massage, where everyone was given the chance to get a massage (and a kiss) from one of the young elephants.

The next stop was the Monkey show where where the short tailed macaque monkey “Johnny” demonstrated the different steps of training monkeys go through to learn to harvest coconuts and then demonstrated his basketball skills, a slam dunk any NBA professional would be proud of.

Then on to the Muay Thai (Thai Boxing) demonstration, or performance may be a better word. A boxing bout was performed at slow speed to make sure everyone could see the moves and then members of the tour group were invited to practice some of the skills with the boxers.

Demonstrations finished it was on to the fish foot spa where after having your feet washed you sit on the edge of a fish tank with your feet in the water, after a few moment the fish start to tickle your feet, they are actually eating your dead skin. They didn't manage to make much of a difference to my calloused feet but it was pleasant, I thought they might hurt when they started cleaning around my partially grown back nail but it didn't. During the foot spa treatment the photographer came round with the photos he had taken during the day, you can buy these as a reminder of the day.

Gentle River Cruise

The last activity for the day was the canoeing along the moo dong river, to get there we mounted pick up trucks with seats in the back and headed of on a ten minute drive to a small jetty on the edge of the river. As there was quite a current running it was decided that those that wanted to canoe should take the canoes down the river towards Chalong bay and then transfer to the longtail boat for the journey back to the jetty, for those whose preferred comfort the whole ride was done on the longtail boat. During the gentle drift along the river we saw the mangroves lining the river and passed a couple of fish farms which are also inhabited by a troop of long-tail macaque monkeys, after this pleasant little cruise along the river it was back into the trucks and back to the Safari camp for a delicious Thai lunch.

The lunch included a range of classic Thai dishes – green curry, chicken with cashew nuts, sticky rice with fried pork and somtam.

After our bellies were full it was time for everyone to board the mini-vans and head back to their hotels.

The Multi-Adventure Safari is a fun, interesting and entertaining morning or afternoon, a brief insight into Thai life and culture.

Phuket Weather 8 June 2013

Another awesome sunny and dry day. Forecasts provided by wind guru website, which are usually quite accurate, are saying that from tomorrow afternoon the wind intensity will increase and on Monday is expected to reach peaks of 20-25 knots and to have waves up to 3 meters. 

Probably not the best day to go out on a speedboat tour to Phi Phi or Racha Yai, better to stay on the safe side using a bigger and stable boat like Royal Jet Cruiser 9.

The conditions might slightly change between now and Monday however as we can see from the flags in the picture below today the wind already picked up a bit.

Go-Kart track in Kathu

The picture was taken at one of the two Go-Kart tracks located in Kathu near our office. In the past few years this area has developed hosting many of the most interesting Phuket Activities. You should probably consider enjoying such land-based activities on those days when the sea is expected to be very rough.

Got Ready to go for early morning Walk but the rain started, take it easy enjoy breakfast and wait as sun could come out any time.

Day Trip to Koh Tachai Island - Inspection in March 2013

Tachai Island was closed up to two years ago and now the Similan Islands National Park have opened it for snorkeling tours.

Koh Tachai - Similan Is National Park

For many years we have dived around this island so we knew that nature and marine life here are beautiful, we have seen here many times Manta and Whale Sharks. The Island stands alone between Simlan Islands National Park and Surin Islands National Park, nothing either than the Indian Ocean to West and to East is Thailand mainland.

Koh Tachai The beach

Now was time to finally step on it and discover how beautiful the place is, we booked a day trip with our selected operator and got ready at 8:00 am for pick up that was actually five minutes earlier, we were the first. We were staying at Khao Lak Country Side, that is close to the beach despite the name. Then went around the different hotels to collect other customers, last pick up was at Jw Marriot Khao Lak around 8:40 am on the way North to Ban Nam Kem where the boat was departing from (at the end of season boats normally depart south of Khao Lak from Tab Lamu).

Speed Boat inside

There was a nice welcome with coffee, tea and water while we waited for every one else to arrive and then a simple briefing about the schedule during the day and rules to follow on the boat and at the Island. We followed our guide down the road to the beach where boat was waiting for us. Took our places on board and the other staff were introduced,the three four strokes engines were started and soon we were sailing full speed to Koh Tachai.

The Island is about 30 miles off shore, the sea was flat as normal in mid March so it was easy to get there in about one hour and 20 minutes. Amazing colors, getting close to Tachai Island the sea went from dark Blue to emerald and then almost white as the water there is so clear that you only see the white sand bottom.

A quick stop at the beach to unload food, beverages and staff, those who like to enjoy more the beach the refreshing trees and snorkeling from the shore got off the boat.

Koh Tachai Rest area

Those remaining, about 15 people of the 30 on board, stayed on the boat and in 10 minutes we were snorkeling on the reef. It is strictly forbidden to feed the fish so you won't just see the small fishes coming close to you for some bread but the real reef life. The white sand bottom and clear water makes it very easy to see colors and fishes, guides are in the water to be sure that those not confident at swimming don't get caught in the current.

Koh Tachai north reef

We suggest to bring your fins, it will make it easier to get back to the boat and more fun exploring a bigger area and getting close to the drop off. Koh Tachai is exposed to tidal currents so when water level changes current can be strong and it is recommended to stay close to the boat and the guides.
One hour snorkeling is good to make people hungry so we went back to the beach and near the Rangers base the staff did a great job preparing a lot of food, with BBQ sea food, shrimps, noodles, veggies and lot more.

Luunch time at Koh Tachai

Lunch time

Home made Thai sweets

Thai sweets to refresh

Relax and if you like enjoy one hour exploration of Tachai Rain Forest where can see birds and the big "chicken" Crabs, so called because of the sound they make.

Koh Tachai Rain Forest

I preferred to swim and enjoy more snorkeling and walk on the beach made of incredibly fine white sand. Between the parked boats you can sometimes see baby reef sharks that come close to shore to hunt small fishes and crabs.

Koh Tachai the beach

Speed boat to Koh Tachai moored at the beach

Around 15:00 staff pack all their equipment, collect all rubbish and call everyone to get on board, ready for the trip back to the hotel, on board more water and soft drinks are available. We were at our hotel around 17:30.

Three engines speed boat to Koh Tachai

Best time to visit is between January and mid April when sea and weather conditions are at their best. Bring your towel, fins, and a lot of sunscreen, best is a sunscreen vest, a hat and some money to tip crew and guides that do a great job everyday. Toilets and showers, well kept and clean, are available on the Island that has a fresh water reserve.

You can enjoy this day tour from Phuket or Khao Lak

Una giornata a Kapong - Natura e divertimento con il tubing sul fiume

Dopo che diversi amici mi hanno raccomandato quest'escursione dicendo di essersi divertiti molto ho deciso di provarla anch'io.

Il pulmino e' venuto a prendermi perfettamente in orario alle 7:30. Dopo esssere stato accolto dal sorridente autista di cui non ricordo il nome e dall'amichevole guida Som ci siamo fermati in un albergo a prendere gli altri partecipanti all'escursione: una grossa famiglia di 15 iraniani che col passare della giornata si sono rivelati molto simpatici ed amichevoli. Per fare in modo che tutti quanti fossero comodi il gruppo e' stato diviso tra due pulmini, poco dopo abbiamo caricato anche il mio amico Adriano e finalmente cominciato il viaggo verso nord.

Nel lato nord di Phuket, ma soprattutto dopo aver attraversato il Ponte Sarasin che collega l'isola alla terraferma, i panorami fuori dal finestrino cambiano drasticamente mostrando sempre meno palazzi e cemento ma sempre piu' piantagioni, giungla e piccole case locali. Si puo' dare uno sguardo alla vera Thailandia lontano dal cuore del turismo, per questo motivo il viaggio poco piu' lungo di un'ora non e' stato per niente noioso. 

Arrivati in zona Khao Lak ci siamo fermati per la prima attivita' della giornata, il Trekking in Elefante. Avevo gia fatto trekking in elefante un paio di volte in passato per cui questa volta temevo di annoiarmi, invece con sorpresa mi sono divertito piu' delle volte precedenti. Anziche' restare all'interno di un campo safari gli elefanti ci hanno portato su per una collina ricoperta dalla giungla e alcune parti del sentiero sono molto ripide ed emozionanti, ho potuto rendermi davvero conto di quanto siano possenti questi splendidi e curiosi animali. Proseguendo lentamente sul dorso dell'elefante abbiamo anche avuto l'opportunita' di osservare alcuni operai al lavoro nella piantagione di gomma circostante, interessante vedere come viene raccolta e lavorata la gomma naturale. 

Bungalows al Kapong Resort

Dopo un persorso di circa 30 minuti sul simpatico pachiderma siamo scesi e abbiamo fatto una breve sosta per riposarci bevendo qualcosa di fresco offertoci dalle guide, poco dopo siamo risaliti sul pulmino pronti a proseguire verso la prossima fermata. Dopo qualche minuto di strada siamo arrivati al Kapong Resort, dove viene servito il pranzo. Il luogo e' splendido, immerso nella natura, circondato da verdi risaie e da un vasto stagno ricoperto da colorate ninfee. Il pranzo Thai servito e' ottimo ed abbondante con l'opportunita' di gustare svariati piatti locali.

Dopo pranzo e qualche minuto di relax ci siamo finalmente spostati in pulmino verso il fiume che si e' rivelato essere il “piatto forte” della giornata. Dopo essere scesi dal pulmino abbiamo attraversato il fiume tramite uno stretto ponte di corda che ci ha portarto verso una capanna dove vengono dati a disposizione degli armadietti per custodire in sicurezza tutti gli oggetti personali che non vanno portati in acqua, quindi abbiamo tenuto soltanto il costume e, nel mio caso, una maglia di lycra per evitare di scottarmi col sole amplificato dal riverbero del fiume. Quando finalmente erano tutti pronti siamo saliti sul cassone di un pick up 4x4 e ci siamo goduti il divertente tragitto lungo una strada sterrata circondata dalla vegetazione. Al termine di questo breve tratto siamo scesi e abbiamo attraversato un altro ciondolante ma sicuro ponte di corda, camminato per alcuni minuti lungo un ombroso sentiero nella giungla lungo il fiume e abbiamo finalmente raggiunto una serie di piccole cascate tutte connesse tra loro e che terminano in una sorta di piccole piscine naturali. Un luogo davvero splendido avvolto da un'atmosfera tranquilla e magica, per un attimo ho immaginato che dei folletti o altre creature fiabesche potessero venir fuori improvvisamente da dietro gli alberi! 

Cascate

La sempre sorridente e simpatica Som ci ha concesso un po' di tempo per un bagno, essendo una calda giornata di novembre al primo impatto l'acqua e' sembrata fredda ma in breve tempo il corpo si e' abituato e l'esperienza e' divenuta piacevole. In seguito siamo stati chiamati a raccolta in un piccolo chiosco appoggiato su un'ampia roccia per avere una dimostrazione di come viene preparato il tipico te' con il bamboo. 

Vivo in Thailandia da due anni ma non avevo mai avuto occasione di assistere a questo curioso e geniale metodo per bollire l'acqua nella giungla: una lunga (circa 50cm) e spessa (circa 15 cm) canna di bamboo viene appoggiata sulla brace incandescente abbastanza a lungo da far si' che anche la canna cominci lentamente a bruciare (senza fiamma) all'esterno come se fosse un enorme sigaro restando pero' intatta all'interno, una volta raggiunta la temperatura ideale il bamboo cavo viene rimosso dalla brace e riempito d'acqua che in pochi minuti va in ebollizione. A questo punto basta aggiungere la bustina del te', un po' di zucchero ed il gioco e' fatto! La Thailandia non smette mai di stupirmi... 

Partenza del Tubing

Finalmente giunta l'ora del “tubing”. Dopo esserci tutti quanti radunati nella piscina alla base delle cascate e aver fatto un breve briefing dando qualche consiglio per la discesa I ragazzi dello staff hanno preparato le ciambelle e aiutato le persone a sedervisi all'interno. Una volta pronti, uno ad uno abbiamo iniziato a scendere dalle prime rapide a bordo delle nostre camere d'aria. Lo staff era pronto ad assistere per l'intera discesa piazzandosi lungo il fiume ed evitando che qualcuno rimanesse incastrato tra le rocce, in modo da garantire il massimo divertimento. C'erano tratti molto divertenti dove si prendeva piu' velocita' nelle rapide ed altri invece piu' lenti e rilassanti, divertentissimo cercare di andare a sbattere contro le ciambelle degli altri partecipanti come se fossimo sugli autoscontri al luna park, oppure lanciandoci l'acqua addosso. La discesa e' durata circa 30 minuti, o almeno credo, perche' quando ci si diverte e' facile perdere la cognizione del tempo. 

Chiamate un carro attrezzi!!!

Avevo quasi raggiunto la fine quando improvvisamente la mia ciambella e' andata a sbattere contro una foglia di palma secca e spinosa incastrata tra le rocce, cosi' nell'arco di pochi secondi...pssssssss....stavo affondando con la ciambella completamente sgonfia! Niente paura, l'acqua non e' per nulla profonda per cui mi sono semplicemente alzato in piedi ridendo a crepapelle, cosi' come il mio amico Adriano che mi ha subito sorpassato, ovviamente prendendomi in giro per il simpatico incidente. Prontamente una delle guide si e' avvicinata e mi ha passato la sua ciambella in modo che potessi terminare la discesa nonostante il simpatico inconveniente.

Il punto di arrivo si trova praticamente accanto al capanno con gli armadietti dove avevamo depositato I nostri oggetti, cosi' abbiamo avuto la possibilita' di fare subito una doccia e cambiarci con dei vestiti asciutti.

Dopo aver bevuto delle bibite fresche offerte dallo staff siamo tornati sul pulmino pronti per rientrare a Phuket. A quel punto ero molto stanco ma soddisfatto dell'intensa giornata cosi' come al solito mi sono addormentato, non posso farci niente, le macchine mi cullano.

Oltre al divertimento nel fare le varie attivita', cio' che mi ha reso felice e' stato il vedere che ci sono ancora dei luoghi vicino a Phuket che restano tutt'ora quasi sconosciuti al turismo, cosi' le persone hanno ancora l'opportunita' di vivere l'autentica Thailandia.

Un ringraziamento alle amichevoli e professionali guide che ci hanno intrattenuto, fornito moltissime informazioni riguardo alla natura e costumi locali e allo stesso termpo permesso di divertirci sempre in sicurezza. 

Consiglio questa escursione a tutti coloro che vogliono sperimentare la vera Thailandia e la sua splendida natura in modo avventuroso (nulla di estremo comunque), ed in particolar modo a gruppi di amici che viaggiano assieme. L'escursione e' anche perfettamente adatta a famiglie con bambini anche se non lo consiglierei per I bambini molto piccoli soprattutto durante il periodo delle piogge in cui il livello e la forza del fiume sono chiaramente piu' elevati.

A Day At Kapong - Nature And Great Fun With River Tubing

Since many friends told me they had great fun on this tour, I decided to give it a try as well.

Pick up was bang on time at 7:30 and I was greeted by the smiling driver and the friendly and entertaining tour guide Som. For the first few minutes I was alone on the minivan and then we stopped to pick up a large family of very friendly and funny Iranians who entertained us all day with jokes and songs. We were split in two minivans so everyone could sit comfortably, then a few minutes later we picked up my friend Adriano and finally started driving straight north.

In the northern part of Phuket, but especially after crossing Sarasin Bridge which connects Phuket Island to the mainland, the landscape outside the windows changes completely: less and less big houses and concrete, more and more plantations, jungle and little local houses so you can finally have a nice glance of the real Thailand, away from the usual touristy sights. Because of this the ride hasn't been boring at all.

After a little more than one hour we neared Khao Lak where we had the first stop of the tour, for Elephant Trekking. I had already done elephant trekking a couple of times in the past so this time I was a bit afraid of getting bored but instead I was surprised that I enjoyed it more than ever. Instead of being in a camp the ride went all the way up in the hilly jungle, some parts were quite steep and entertaining, I could really see how powerful these marvellous and curious animals are. While slowly moving on the elephant's back we also had the opportunity to have a look at the workers in the rubber plantation nearby while they were doing their interesting job of harvesting, processing and tapping the rubber.

Bungalows at Kapong Resort

After the 30 minutes ride on the pachyderm we had a little break with refreshments and jumped back on the minivan ready to move to the next stop. A few minutes in the minivan and we reached Kapong Resort, where the lunch was served. The place is beautiful, completely immersed in nature, surrounded by the bright green rice fields and a large pond populated by water lilies. The set menu Thai lunch served was very tasty with several dishes, plenty of food to enjoy.

After lunch and some time to relax we finally moved to the river which was the highlight of the whole day. We got off the van and crossed a narrow and funny rope bridge over the river that led to a shed where we had the chance to safely store our belongings in a locker, so we kept only our swimsuits and, in my case, a lycra shirt that I brought to avoid sunburn while in the water. When everybody was ready we jumped on the back of a 4x4 pick up truck and had a five minutes 

fun ride on a dirt road through the vegetation. Then we got off the trucks and one by one crossed another dangling but safe and strong rope bridge, walked for few more minutes on a jungle track alongside the river and finally arrived at a series of little waterfalls all connecting and ending in sorts of natural pools, all surrounded by a thick tropical jungle. Really a beautiful place with a calm and magical atmosphere, was almost expecting some elves to come out from the trees!

Waterfalls

The always entertaining and smiling guide Som gave us free time to have a soak and a swim, since it was a warm sunny day in November, at first the water felt cold but it took just a couple of minutes to get used to it and feel comfortable. After a while we got called to a little hut lying on the rocks and had a demonstration of how the Bamboo Tea is done.

I spent already about two years in Thailand but never had the chance to see this unusual way to boil water: the local guy had previously left a long (about 50cm) and thick (about 15cm) bamboo cane laying on some burning coal for a while until the cane itself started burning on the outside as if it was a huge cigar but surprisingly it stayed intact on the inside, when it got hot enough he filled the cane with water and in a couple of minutes the water started boiling. He then poured the water in some cups also made of bamboo, added the tea bag and sugar and so we got our jungle bamboo tea! Thailand never stops surprising me...

Tubing Starting Pool

Finally it was tubing time. We all got into the lower pool and the helpful staff prepared all the inner tubes for us and helped everyone to sit in each doughnut. Once we were ready, after a small briefing, one by one we started to get down the first rapids. There are many staff standing at all the more difficult sections ready to help us to avoid getting stuck in the rocks and keep us descending fluidly along the river for the most possible fun. There were some faster and more entertaining rapid sections alternating with some more quiet and relaxing ones, great fun when hitting someone else's doughnut and throwing water at each other as if it was some sort of race. The descent took approximately 30 minutes, or at least this is what I guess, because I had so much fun that I didn't really notice the time flying.

"Flat Tyre"

When I had nearly reached the end and I was all pumped up unfortunately my inner tube hit a dry and spiky palm leaf that was stuck in a rock, so after a few seconds...psssssss....I was sinking with no more air in the tube! No worries, the river is very shallow so I just stood up laughing and so was my friend Adriano whom overtook me and of course started teasing me about the funny accident. Promptly one of the guides came to me and handed me his own inner tube so I could proudly reach to the end despite the little funny inconvenience.

The arrival was basically next to the shed where we left our belongings, there we had a chance to have a quick shower and change into dry clothes.

Once everybody was ready and cool drinks had been offered we jumped again in the minivan and started heading back to Phuket. I was quite tired but very satisfied in the day so as usual I fell asleep, it can't be helped, cars cuddle me.

Apart from the great fun doing the activities, what really made me happy was to notice that there are still some places around Phuket that are almost unknown to tourism, therefore people can still enjoy some genuine Thailand.

Thanks a lot to the friendly and professional guides that entertained us, gave a lot of information about the local nature and allowed us to have lots of fun always in safety.

I recommend this trip to all kinds of travellers that want to enjoy real Thailand and its beautiful nature and like some safe adventure (it's nothing extreme though), especially to groups of friends travelling together. Very suitable also for families with kids but wouldn't recommend it for too small children especially in the period between May and November when the amount of average rainfall is higher and the river might be a bit more loaded.

Tubing with Easy Day Thailand

Tubing in Khao Sok National Park

Tubing is a recreational activity where people ride sitting on top of an inner tube, either on water, snow, or through the air. The tubes themselves are also known as "doughnuts" or "biscuits" because of their shape.

River tubing is an outdoor activity in which people ride inner tubes or inflated disks down a river. Depending on the conditions at the river, tubing can be a relaxing way to spend an afternoon, or it can be a fun-filled adventure. On a gentle river, this sport is suitable for people of a wide range of ages and physical abilities, and it can be a great vacation activity for people travelling with children.

In a typical tubing trip, people wear swimsuits or other gear that can be comfortably worn in the water, and some people also wear life jackets for additional safety. The tubes are launched in the water, and then people mount up and start floating. Once launched, the tubes will freely float down the river pushed by the stream, with the tubers eventually choosing a spot to land.

Easy Day Thailand offers day trips and Overnight trips to Khao Sok & Kapong in Phang Nga Province for great Tubing fun.
