Cliff jumping could be added to your kayaking tour.  The easiest way to access most cliffs is to start climbing from your longtail support boat.

As safety is always our top priority, we scout the water where you'll jump first.  We dive down to make sure there are no rocks, trees, or anything that could harm you. Luckily, the limestone cliffs in Phang Nga Bay tend to go straight down for quite some way.

For those of you who like the idea of jumping off of a rock into the water, but aren't really into climbing high to do so, no problem... there are plenty of short jumps.  You could start off low and work your way up.  There is never any pressure to go higher. That's entirely up to you.

Thailand has some wonderfully colorful kingfishers. This is the Blue-eared Kingfisher. We see it in Khao Sok National.

It's small and shy, so it's not really easy to spot. It is fairly common though.

Though supposedly nocturnal, we sometimes see the very strange & very cute Tapir in Khao Sok National Park on Paddle Asia tours.

Tapirs are odd-toed ungulates.  Their front legs have 4 toes and their hind legs have 3 toes. bit.ly/KSkayak  Contact Us

Campfire tender that you prepared at home.
 

 
Even though it's now the dry season here in southern Thailand, it doesn't hurt to be prepared just in case there is an odd shower or a heavy dew. Don't risk being unable to get a fire started by not having dry campfire tinder. One thing you can do is us a pencil sharpener to make fine shavings. 
Do this from the convenience of being at home. 
Find a dry stick and shave away. You can carry your new tinder in an old pill bottle. Keep the desiccant pack that was used to keep moisture out of whatever pills/medicine was originally in the bottle in the bottle. I actually save them up and add more than one usually... just to play it extra safe. Another thing that I tend to carry is some bamboo toothpicks... cheap, light, and easy to carry.

This is wild Passionfruit. it contains a form of cyanide (cyanogenic glycoside) that is highest when unripe, but is at acceptable levels when ripe. Passionfruit is 20% carbohydrate, a mere 2% protein (need to eat the seeds to get the amino acids), and it's very low in fat. 100 grams of passionfruit does have around 90 calories, so that's very helpful. The fruit has respectable amounts of Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Phosphorus, Sodium, Potassium, and Iron. Contact Us

A very necessary skill for getting a fire going strongly is to add oxygen. Cup your hand, blow into your hands and guide the wind towards the base of the fire. Get down low so you blow at the base. Blowing from above does not get the same results.
The blowing should be a crescendo of wind volume, in other words, start of lightly and increase the velocity as you blow. Take a very short breath in and repeat until the fire has a strong base of fire/coals.

The best way to get a campfire going is to blow an increasing amount of wind directly into the base of the fire. Start slow and increase the velocity of your wind.

Sometimes when the bamboo is especially slippery, you have to come up with a more creative lashing technique.

Cliff jumping could be added to your kayaking tour.  The easiest way to access most cliffs is to start climbing from your longtail support boat.

As safety is always our top priority, we scout the water where you'll jump first.  We dive down to make sure there are no rocks, trees, or anything that could harm you. Luckily, the limestone cliffs in Phang Nga Bay tend to go straight down for quite some way.

For those of you who like the idea of jumping off of a rock into the water, but aren't really into climbing high to do so, no problem... there are plenty of short jumps.  You could start off low and work your way up.  There is never any pressure to go higher. That's entirely up to you.
