We’ll then head back to the beach for lunch before we head to a refreshing waterfall on our way back to the hotel.

There's an option for an off road diversion through the jungle. Khao Sok National Park is one of the true hidden gems of Thailand. The park consists of evergreen rainforests, huge limestone mountains shooting straight up in the air, immense as well as isolated lakes, caves and plethora of wild animals.

We cycle from the hotel to the ferry pier and then it's a short ride to visit the beachside Tsunami Memorial at Ban Nam Khem and the big fishing boat that was carried an amazing 2 kilometres inland by the surging waters. Smaller boats were also deposited nearby, particularly in a pond we’ll pass. We then head inland and take a quiet backroad through small villages, shady rubber plantations and cross rivers as we cycle to the small waterfall of Sam Rung. There’s a dipping pool at the base perfect for cooling off before we have lunch. Then it’s a short cycle to our hotel in Khao Lak. Overnight at the Suan Palm Resort
