In reply to Wendy. Hey Wendy! I can't recall seeing any spiders in either tent (and I think I'd remember I hate them too!) or that mosquitos were an issue -- I always travel with some repellant just in case, though! Enjoy!

[…] Sok National Park are very much related. First rugged isolation and then a band of student rebels (more of this story here) kept logging from decimating the forests. The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), […]

In reply to Tich.

Hey Tich! How fun that we’ve run into each other on the island before. Wow, what an amazing story you shared! That is fascinating — how cool that your family is a part of Thailand’s history. Happy travels and maybe I’ll see you again someday on Koh Tao! Say hi if we do!

Hey, I never comment but I thought I’d give it a go after reading this post. I thought I recognized you on this blog and that’s because I’ve seen you multiple times on koh Tao! (I used to work at Blue Water back at the end of 2015, when it was still new and been back and forth on koh Tao since 2008). I find your blog really entertaining and inspirational – ever since my sister recommended your blog to me ive been hooked!

Anyway, except me writing to praise your blog it was especially awesome when you wrote about the October 6th, 1976 because my father was actually one of them rebels. He was one of the leaders that had to flee the government and hearing him recounting the tales of that time are some of my favorite stories!
One of my favorite bits of the tale is when the government got seized and they were trying to get in contact with all the leaders and they sent a helicopter to pick him up and he recounted that the helicopter had no doors (Thai standards I guess 😉 ) and the inside didn’t really have seats it was more nets hanging about. They sat down on the hammocks/nets and the soldier in front of him offered him a Coca Cola and that was the best Coca Cola he had ever tasted. After living in the jungle and hiding for years, that was one of his strongest memories, haha. Having a father that did all of that make sure me proud and a bit hard for me to try to beat his adventures of his youth and I am very grateful he “fled” to Sweden and gave me the opportunity to travel the world. Keep up the good work and thank you for inspiring me to travel more.

In reply to Marni. They have all sorts of packages, but I do believe they all require one night at Elephant Camp. I'd get in touch with them though if you're interested -- they may do a custom package!

This is amazing!! Is it possible to stay just here and not Elephant Camp, or do you have to do both?

This place looks amazing! I’ve been following your blog for a few years now and I have a question for you: What’s your favorite off-the-beaten-path destination in SE Asia? Would you mind if I included your answer in an ebook I’m writing about the region?
