Great time with Khao Sok!
We had a great Canoeing vacation in Khao Sok. Khao Sok jungle is amazingly beautiful. We also enjoy our lunch with Thai foods a lot, it's easy to eat and my husband loves the herbs added in the food.

Khao Sok was fascinating
We have a chance to visit almost all of the most iconic temples in Khao Sok and we were blown away by the magnificence of them. Visiting such a spiritual place like that help us understand so much more about Thailand and Asian culture. Thanks Auasia Travel for making the exciting holiday for us.
