5 Day 5 Night of Sun,Sand and Sea in the narrowest strip of Thailand

Photography Trip to Southern Thailand

5 Day 5 Night of photography,sun,sand and sea in the narrowest strip of Thailand 358 KM south of Bangkok near the Burmese border. The wind was strong, the air was cool ( 22 deg at night) and weather was mostly sunny with blue sky. We spent time at the Myanmar border, Dan Sin Khorn.near the narrowest part of Thailand only 10.9 km wide. The actual isthmus of Kra Buri connecting the Asian mainland and the Malay Peninsula is 48 KM wide separating the Andamand Sea and the Gulf of Thailand.

Spending time on the beach every morning facing the Gulf of Thailand we were greeted with spectauclar sun rise. How many days in a year do we see sun rise in Singapore ?

We travelled to 2 national parks in Thailand phographing birds.The two parks were;

1. Hat Wanakon National Park ( a small coastal park )
2. Kaeng Krachan Ntional Park ( the largest in Thailand with mixed deciduous and evergreen forest).

At Kaeng Krachan, we stayed at the edge of the 45 square KM reservoir near the park head quarter with scenic view of the water.. The higlight of the trip was the drive to the top of the mountain at Panorn Thung ,about 970 m above sea level, stopping brieftly at Ban Krang camp ground. The road up is one way from 5:30-7:30 am. We left the lodge about 6:30 am and reached the gantry at 7:15 am.
