Kayaking in Bor Thor!

Our volunteers recently had the opportunity to head out on a side trip to the local coastal community of Bor Thor for a fun-filled day of kayaking. Here's a first-hand account of their adventure from intern, Emma:

'On Saturday, a group of 12 of us went off to the local beauty spot of Bor Thor for a morning of kayaking. It was a beautiful, sunny day and we had a great time exploring ancient caves on foot and in our kayaks.  We had enormous fun navigating through tight, twisting, dark caves that led through to stunning lagoons surrounded by huge karst mountains.  With our trusted navigator and guide, Man, we also had a chance to see a kingfisher in full glory singing near the river bank as well as mudskippers, lizards and other wildlife.

We had the opportunity to explore Tham Pee Hua Toh (Big Headed Ghost Cave), where we had the chance to view 3,000 year-old paintings left over from ancient dwellings in the cave and amazing stalactites, stalagmites and rock formations.

After a pleasurable but strenuous morning, we headed back to enjoy a delicious meal of tempura prawns, chicken with ginger and fried vegetables whilst relaxing at the floating river restaurant.'
