Wake up to the sounds of nature and birds calling from the bushes close to the tent. When the sun comes up and clears the mist over the jungle covered mountains to the south of Elephant Hills the gibbons start to make their morning territorial calls that echo down the valley. Tea and coffee making facilities are available in the tent for early risers; breakfast is at your leisure. The activity planned for today is to explore a lake in the center of the jungle by local boat. Check out and head to the CheowLarn Lake.

The CheowLarnlake is a little known wonder of Thailand’s southern rainforest and holds prime habitat for wild Elephant, the rare Asian Ox, Hornbill, various monkey species, hundreds of tropical birds, amphibians, reptiles and Tiger. This combined with a myriad of other species hidden in the rainforest covered hills make it one of the most unique and important areas of rainforest in South East Asia.

A leisurely breakfast is served after which there is time to relax or take a dip in the emerald green waters of the lake and feel truly refreshed. After breakfast we will meet the jungle face to face, a rainforest trek is the planned activity for today.
It is not an army survival exercise, there are no prizes for the fastest and snakes and spiders do not jump out at you, it is an opportunity to explore the ecology of the rainforest, to see a great variety of exotic plants, tropical hardwood trees with huge roots, orchids, palms, ferns, bamboos, mosses; the variety is unlimited. Birds such as the hornbill live high up above, gibbon can often be heard calling to their mates, a macaque or leaf monkey may be heard swinging through the branches, every day is different but it is truly wonderful to discover the great variety of life forms that co-exists together.
