Canoes with a Difference
June 26th 2008 08:47
Darkness descended as we slid under the rock face, into the depths of an old pirate dwelling. Flat on our backs, we watched as our noses nearly grazed the rough surface, inches from our heads.
A semblance of light appeared up ahead and, just before claustrophopic tendencies took over, a hollow cave emerged above. We sat up with extreme care, quiet in the midst of tiny bats and droplets of water echoing as they fell from the craggy roof.
Gliding across water as still and as silver as an ice skating rink, we crouched again to zoom through another tunnel towards the sun.
A haven of emerald water, haunting insect sounds and lush mountains rising from the sea opened before us. Our guides, experts at steering the inflatable canoes we travelled on, burst into song and playfully splashed us, rocking the boats and dispelling the eeriness of the mountain's innards in explosive, happy laughter that rebounded in every direction.
Thailand's sea canoe experiences, this one in particular based in Phang-Nga, encompass adventure, extreme beauty and relaxation, based in a unique and mysterious part of the world.
