The day after the hospital I visited a fishermen floating village for a few hours. The village floats on a lake, thirty minutes drive from Siem Reap. I still had a soar throat but I wanted to do something that day. A tuktuk driver picked me in the afternoon for a 4$ fee. It’s a thirty minutes ride which goes through a bumpy dirt road and I didn’t want to do it on a motorcycle.

The way to the lake is mostly not interesting, although in some parts you can see green rice fields.

An organized tour of two days goes to the lake directly from Jungle Huts. Cost is 2500 baht and includes a ride to the lake, sailing in a long tail boat to the floating huts, a night-over, trekking in the park, canoing and more.

After half an hour drive we arrived at the lake. We continued sailing in a long tail boat for forty minutes. Krastic mountains are seen everywhere.Jungles and forests of huge trees on the mountains.

I realized I lost a day or two from my original planning after the unexpected delay of the dive safari, and I was already on my way to the South. I had to options: continue to Phuket or to Phang Nga. I chose the second options because I didn’t have too much time and had no interest in the touristic and commercialized Phuket.

In order to get from Khao Lak to Phang Nga you have to take a bus that goes daily in that line, or take two buses which go every hour. The first bus is from Khao Lak to Khok Kloi and the second bus is from Khok Kloi to Phang Nga.
