Bye bye Khao Sok

After Cheow Lan Lake, we spent another night at Our Jungle Camp.  It is a beautiful eco resort on a stunning property next to limestone cliffs and the river, they have excellent customer service, organized tours, clean spacious, comfortable rooms with lovely scented soaps, and several friendly cats.  They have an "award winning chef"... but we're not sure if their award was for the food.  The thing is, Our Jungle Camp is catered to Western tourists (hence the outstanding customer service and cleanliness standards and Western prices), but the Thai food on the menu was surprisingly not great (e.g., soggy unflavourful noodles in my pad see ew).  Maybe the spaghetti, schnitzel, tuna sandwiches, and burgers and fries were "award winning" but we never tested it out 🫤. 

We walked into the town of Khao Sok, about 15 minutes away, for dinner.  The whole strip seemed to be a repetitive stream of cannabis shops, massage parlors, hostels, tour outfitters, bars, and restaurants with large Western menus and small Thai ones at the back of the book.  We picked a restaurant and, not surprisingly, had an overpriced mediocre Thai dinner.

Khao Sok was one of the highlights of our trip in 2006, but it has changed so much in 19 years, as have I.  It's not my jam anymore, but we still made some great memories here!
