Fantastic place, nature is beautiful!

That’s amazing

Nice capture

Its def a lot less touristy than Phuket. There is a surf shop in Bang Niang - which is one 'town' north of Khao Lak. I think the surf starts picking up about this time of year (April-ish). There is an expat scene, but it's mostly divers. Most know each other from working together. There used to be a bar called the Happy Snapper where most could be found, but I believe it's closed down now. Not sure where the new expat hangout is, but it shouldn't be hard to find.

Does it hurt to be ignorant?

Which day was this? My sister was there on 3//21 and it was pretty foggy and a lot of snow had melted

Looks like silent hill to me.

Freediving is awesome, but yeah, I tend to hurt my ears way more often freediving than with tanks.

Sea Dragon is a cool shop. Both my neighbors worked there. I was at BigBlue for most of my time there, but got recruited by Wicked for my last season.

Yes, the Andaman side has a lot to offer. Khao Sok rainforest was right in our backyard. I was seasonal, but I had some friends stay year-round, and just surfed through the rainy season.

Wow, this photo of Yosemite National Park is absolutely stunning! The details and colors captured in this high-resolution image are breathtaking. I love how the mountains and trees create a natural frame around the valley below. It's amazing how a single photo can make me feel so small and insignificant compared to the grandeur of nature. Thanks for sharing this amazing shot!

Looks awesome. I wonder if these riversides are natural though, they look so hard and tall

Given this winter season, it’s going gorgeous. All the falls, lakes and rivers will be flowing full. Expect a lot of closures due to excessive water / snow. Also expect a slightly busier than normal season. Overall, you got quite the epic trip coming up, super stoked for you!

Come hang out in the rain for a week, cures that home sickness right away

Cool!

No diving for me - ruptured eardrum from being stupid freediving - but my partner has done a liveaboard or two with Sea Dragon.

We’ve also stopped by a number of times on the way to ranong/mu ko surin/ko phayam. Love the andaman side :)

Gorgeous!

I see a dog looking to the viewer's left

Is that real? Sheesh

Is this looking off of the trail? Is the word "trail" being used lightly here?

So tired of this park, the only one astonishing to me is the Firefall effect. You know what I mean.

Some parts of the world should never be civilized...

For some I’m sure

Love the atmosphere in this

So beautiful!

So heroin is heaven

Making me homesick.
