Kayaking In Songkhla
Tour of Kho Kut Bird Park after the FLOODS!
Getting ready for a paddle. Notice the "His & Her's" BUM rings, yeah! it get's hard on the posterior after an hour or so. Oh! don't forget the beer cooler.
Now you have the lay of the land you know exactly where we were!!

Some of the locals checking us out
More Kid's
Owen checking the water depth to check on our next paddle in Feb. or March, when the migratory birds are breeding in the Park.
Out in the jungle!
Check out the bow wake! But corrdinated paddling it ain't, but Sue's having fun!
These folks came out of the jungle and surprised to see us, collecting some fresh water as the water well in their village is contaminated. (Septic tank over flows etc.)
The kids on the boat.
Still waters!
Reflections! The water level is usually not this high.
We asked the lady on the step how high the water got. 30cm or for those still in inches, that's 12" below the floor beam she's sitting on. So no water in the house, thats why it's built on stilts.
The barn, if you look closely a chook is still rosting in the rafters.
This is where we usually park and launch the Kayak's.
The local Monks relaxing.
Sue just had to have a couple of PIG'S, it was even too wet for them, these two tethered to the trees on the road side.
Till our next BLOG "KEEP PADDLING"
