Koh Mook

At Koh Mook, we stayed at Mookies bungalows and enjoyed playing with a very friendly and endless energetic little puppy. We also greatly appreciate the kindness of the owner Wan and her legendary fried prawn in a tamarin sauce. 

The bungalow was only 300 meters from sunset beach. The best swimming beach of the whole island where Éloïse, dad and I played Marco Paulo for hours in the warm ocean.​​

One morning, we rented a kayak and went to visit the majestic Emerald cave. An ancient pirate hiding place. Unfortunately we did not find any remainings of a treasure, but since we were at low tide, we did find the entrance of the cave. We swam across, in complet darkness, before reaching a beautiful lagoon and a small beach surrounded by impressive karstique cliffs. Not too far away we also encountered a beautiful secluded beach where we found tons of sand dollars and imagined faces in the rock formations.

Do you see the resemblance with the rock formation?

We had this beach all to ourselves!

This is inside the cave, it opens up to this beautiful beach to reveal the pirates hiding place!

On our way back, we had the chance to encounter a large flock of males hornbills (females are nesting at this time of year) playing and eating in a huge nearby tree.

Unfortunately for us, during our stay, we experienced 2 days of heavy rain. Making most of our time, we therefore took the opportunity to do some blog writing and some homework. 

Our last morning on the island before moving to Koh Kradan, we met a very enthusiastic guy that was happy to share with us his latest discovery. Freshly baked donuts with custard dipping. He even lent us the keys of his motor bike for us to go and taste them. I must say, he was right, it was yummy in our tommies.
