Khao Sok National Park & Rajjaprabha Dam
i visited Rajjaprabha Dam and Khao Sok (did not enter the national park since it requires at least 1 day to explore and my time is limited), just passing thru. the roads along the khao sok region are pretty bad, i guess they will make a new one soon. no mosque at all here, but i am used to pray at the side road/emergency stairway since i started living with the China CCP for several years. Nothing much to see in Takua Pa and it is raining the whole night.

while heading back to krabi, i visited Phang Nga town and its museum. Entrance is free! and it is much more better than phuket mining museum! at the museum, i was greeted by a sweet lady called ms. สมัย . she is from Phang Nga and works at the museum and introduced me to the history of Phang Nga. i realized that Takua-pa is believed to be one of the pitstop along the ancient silk road where it is called Takola by ancient traders.

Phang Nga Museum
Thailand’s Rong Ngeng which has similarities with Malaysia’s Ronggeng (Phang Nga Museum)
