One of mother natural : Emerald Cave @ Thailand.

Emerald Cave (Tham Morakot) 
The Emerald Cave is usually the highlight of the famous 4 island tour and 'a' not to be missed. We bought a snorkelling package at the travel information counter which is located beside our hotel, only 700 Thai Baht per person, snorkelling equipment, breakfast and lunch included.

Emerald Cave is a secret lagoon hidden inside the island of Ko Mook. The only way into this amazing location is to swim 85m through an underwater tunnel that opens out into the secret bay with limestone cliffs soaring high about you on all sides.
We swim in the dark through the cave, which I really enjoyed. Seriously stick with the swim if you're not a great swimmer, it's not that long and entirely worth it. Coming out the other end is breathtaking. Sparkling clear water, white sand beach, surrounded by jungle and walls of sheer rock. A place where pirates used to hide their loot. It's the most adventurous swim in my lifetime where you don't know where are you heading unless you see more light at the end of the tunnel and then the view is unbelievable!

Hard to believe that we can find a beach in the middle of a mountain but the Emerald Cave have a small beach. Just great so don't miss it!


You guys can refer to this video if you want to know how we get into the hidden beach.

Danok Waterview Restaurant @Danok, Thailand

Waterview Restaurant is one of the most visited restaurant in Danok. The restaurant is located quite outside from the main town. The road lead to there is very small, so my family bring me to there before sunset.
Waterview 餐廳是Danok其中一個很值得去嘗一嘗的地方。餐廳就坐落在從Kastam Bukit Kayu Hitam 進來泰國的右手處。途中去Waterview餐廳的路又小又狹,建議第一次去的朋友們最好在日落之前就去啊!

When we walk to out sitting place, I got so fascinate by this place love how the decoration in a tradisional concept: kampung style decoration by using the dry coconut leaved to build the rood, low table for us to sit and pillow to support us when we are lazy. Another one great thing about this place is we have a fantastic view by overlooking the lake and hills. We feel so relax even though that day was a hot day and we feel like we are in sauna. 
還沒到門口就已經有服務生站在門口歡迎我們並且帶我們到座位上。一路走來,被這裡美麗的景色吸引得目不轉睛。這裡的裝潢是採用非常原始傳統的裝飾,屋頂是由乾椰葉造的,用餐的桌子也很低,必須坐在地板上(有坐墊)用餐,還有厚厚的枕頭讓我們靠著。吃過晚餐後可以就這麼躺著欣賞湖邊的風景還有享受徐徐吹來的風,很舒適。雖然當天的天氣真的熱得好像在做桑拿一樣,不過這一點也不影響我們的興致。
This shows how big is the restaurant and what I have been and what I have been told, if you do come during dinner or the night session, it would be even nicer as the whole restaurant is light up beautifully but will miss the scenery. I guess, we cannot take one stone kill two birds.
Dinner time, this place is usually very packed!
餐廳很大吧?!朋友告訴說我說晚上的風景更漂亮,不過卻看不見眼前的景色~魚與熊掌不能兼得,這也給了我們可以再來第二次的理由。而且,晚餐時間會超級滿的!想要在晚上來的朋友們,最好打個電話來訂桌子。

Besides that, the way they deliver the foods is quite interesting. They are using BOAT! Normally your dining table is beside the lake. After you order the foods, they will drive the boat and cross over the lake to your dining table. Then, a waiter or waitress will take the foods from the boat to you!
這餐廳除了有著怡人的景色,還有一個更加吸引人的地方,那就是他們送上餐點的方式居然是用船來載?!這就是為什麼所有的用餐地點都會在湖邊的原因吧?他們會將餐點從在湖的另一頭的廚房用小船過來,一來不會影響食物的素質,而來速度夠快!很有趣對不對?

Their famous fried-pork
餐廳推薦的燒豬肉

還有螃蟹冬粉



There is an interesting question! A lot of people always ask me : Where is Danok?
Danok is located at South Thailand. Using North-South Highway, move to north until the end! Right after you pass Kastam Bukit Kayu Hitam to Thailand, the place is Danok. Malaysians need passport or boader pass in order to go to Thailand. 
很多朋友都問我說Danok到底在哪裏?是什麼地方?
Danok就在泰國南部,也就是每年舉辦泰國潑水節的地方。從Malaysia,通過Kastam Bukit Kayu Hitam的地方就是Danok了。馬來西亞公民需要Passport 或者是Border Pass才可以進入泰國。

If you still don't know, I think Google Maps can help you!
如果你還是不清楚那是什麼地方,或許Google Map可以幫到你 !

Waterview restaurant is a beautiful place to dine at, and you should come here when you are in Dannok for whatever reason it is.
Waterview餐廳除了環境優美之外,食物的品質也達到一定的水準,而且價錢不算貴,喜歡吃泰國餐的朋友可以帶家人或一大群朋友來這裡用餐。
