After a short delay giving us time to grab a Starbucks (£15 for Statty to get a fix of western coffee). We flew to Surat Thani in just over an hour. We were met at the airport and issued our transfer stickers for our mini van.
After a 90 minute high speed dash in an overcrowded mini bus, peppered with stops to disperse locals at various points in the countryside, ourselves and the 2 german girls left on the bus arrived at the junction with the highway and the road to Khao Sok village. We boarded the 'taxi', well I say boarded, Sam and Frank squeezed into the back seat with the ants while Sid and I were thrown in the back of the flat bed with the bags. 50 baht each for the very short trip into the village!
Our accommodation is lovely however so we chillaxed in the room while the boys scrambled around the jungle resort.
After an afternoon nap we headed along to Jasmine House, the other highly recommended restaurant. It's run by Spiderwoman who is a cookery teacher, the food was amazing! Even more amazing was the boys food choices, after a little pep talk earlier they went for Chicken in sweet chilli (Sid) and Green Curry (Frank) both with boiled rice. I had a Red curry and Sam a Mussuman Curry. We rounded off the meal with free banana cup cakes, so soft and fluffy.
We all slept really well last night after an early start and busy day travelling.
