Day thirteen - Mekong River Tour |
|
From Pak Chong to Jomtien (ride) |
|
|
Today we shall enjoy 100 km ride through the rainforests of Khao
Yai mountain range followed by 200 km of rolling hills.
Khao Yai mountain range is considered by experts to be among the world's
best national parks. Tropical moist evergreen forest covers
the central area and the rich diversity of plants is astounding to the newcomer. Tigers, elephants,
gibbons, wild boars, and clouded leopards are just a few of
the hundreds of species of mammals and birds inhabiting this
UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Khao Yai is renowned for the
height and profusion of its waterfalls, where the swollen
tropical rivers surge over unexpected precipices; one of the
most enthralling to watch is the 80 m cascade at Haew Narok. We shall
stop at this waterfall and also at Heo Suwat which was a
scene of a jump in movie "The Beach". There will be a good chance to see monkeys,
hornbills, a bear, sambar deer and gaur or wild elephants, less chance to see tigers. There are many good places with panoramic
views along the way. Usually the group has the last farewell dinner together
this night. Accommodation with breakfast in Jomtien. |
