Kayaking in Bor Thor Side Trip



On Saturday the GVI Thailand Construction Crew got their first chance to explore Ao Luk. On a beautifully clear day we loaded up Noi's Songthaew and headed off to Bor Thor for some Kayaking and a sea-food lunch.
The Aussies immediately took the lead attempting to crown themselves as the new Steve Irwin's of Thailand. The boys fumbled ahead with Michael seeming to do the most out of them and Eddie directing them into river banks and overhanging Mangroves to look at mudskippers and whatever other creepy crawlies caught his attention!!
Team TC were also having some issues with their stroke synchronisation with Sarah definitely looking the more exhausted of the two at the end- Although as Caroline pointed out it was pretty HOT to be doing extreme exercise.
We went into two Beautiful caves and saw the mermaid rock formation and pre-historic paintings of Ao Luk's Big Headed Ghost. Up to the wonderful viewpoint which gives you a panoramic view of the mangrove plantations all around Laem Sak and Bor Thor and then it was on to the Lagoon.
A beautiful relaxing pool of water surrounded by limestone Karsts was the perfect end to this wonderful day. but once our tour guide gave the cue to lunch it was one last sprint to the restaurant
A delicious lunch of battered, deep fried prawns, fish
and pineapple curry, cashew chicken and fried rice, was wolfed down with gusto. Feeling thoroughly satisfied, we headed home.
