Amazing beauty in the caves





These flowers grow naturally in the caves that have enough light - look like small rock orchids

It was a great experience canoeing through the Sea Caves.  We had a guide who paddled the canoe so we could just sit back and soak up the scenery. 

This was part of our day tour to James Bond Island that was booked through our resort "Beyond Resort Khaolak" Tour Desk. 

It took roughly three quarters of an hour and we paddled through facinating sea caves, mangroves and got up close and personal with the rock formations, fauna and towering mountains.  Our guide could not speak English but pointed out things of interest as he paddled us in and out of various caves.

This is a "must do" when visiting Thailand as the area is kept in pristine condition and natural beauty.
