Journey into Khao Sok's Morning Soundscape
In this very special episode, we will take you to the heart of the Khao Sok National Park. From the delightful accommodations at Our Jungle Camp Eco-Resort, we take a shuttle to Cheow Lan Lake. We take a long-tail boat and embark on a journey deep into the bright green lake, surrounded by limestone cliffs with lush tropical vegetation. After an hour and a half, we arrive at our floating cabins, greeted by the sounds of the birds. We go on a tour to meet the local wildlife and encounter a family of elephants taking a refreshing bath in the lake. After a long day, we go to bed, soothed by the smooth sway of the lake and the lullaby of the jungle. We wake up early the next morning, energized by the unique dawn chorus of Khao Sok's birds, cicadas, crickets and frogs.
