3rd day trip - Jungle Trekking

Again~ International buffer breakfast before our today activity ^^

1 hour elephant trekking. Of course, we not riding by our own. Every elephant has 1 trainer following us. The trainer is actually sitting on their head, and tourist sit on the tighten seat. Is not enjoyable as I thought, as elephant is walking slow and it is actually very swaying while they are moving. Somemore has nothing to do other than talking and taking photo. Anyway is a experience to sit on elephant ^^
We also have photo section and elephant feeding after back to their "base". But we didnt feed them, cos we have to pay them for banana and feed their elephant... ... No way!
It is hardly to see it. But on top of this mountain, there is actually a temple and huge figure of Buddha. This is where our next destination. 1237 staircase to top of mountain >.<"

Here we are! Finally we have reach 1237 steps high! Is hot and tired, but ... ... achievement!!!
This is the giant Buddha on top of the mountain. At first, I thought there has a big temple and lots of monk or nun here. I was wrong. Here only have some Buddha figure and only 2~3 people here. Maybe they should expand or upgrade it =.=".

Lunch time. We have our lunch at a fishing pond. Mm... nothing special to recall here. Food also not nice.

Emerald pool. As its name, emerald color. The yellow color rock surround the pool is very slippery. Hsing slip down and hit her ass @.@
Mm... also not very beautiful as what I thought. Maybe the internet has describe till too good. The higher expectation, the more disappointment -__________-

Hot Spring Waterfall. This place is amazing. When the tour guide said the temperature is around 30++ degree, I still thought is only so so, cos 30++ is just like our normal whether lo. But when I go into it... ... this is HOT!!! Tour guide said, for safety reason, each person cannot be inside more than 30mins. I cannot stand even 5mins.... ... =.=" so hot...
It might be shiok for those who like to jacuzzi or sauna ^^!!!

Dinner time, we have our best food in Ao Nang. Not only nice, but also cheap. 280baht for all of these. Tom yam soup, BBQ corn with butter n salt, pad thai (this not so nice), BBQ chicken & Papaya salad (this the best ^^)
Where is this stall? Very near to us, walk out from Peace Laguna Resort, turn right, then within 100m can see ^^ It only starts evening. There is another stall just next to them also lot of customers, might be nice as well although we didnt try.

Next day trip. 4 island. This is complimentary with our resort ASEAN package. We actually planing to go Hong island instead of this, while we totally forgetting about this free trip. Since now we have a free trip, save up the Hong island money ^^
