Meditate in peace at the Wat Hin Lad

Set in one of these lush forests is a waterfall named Hin Lad that is both beautiful and majestic especially during the rainy season when the water gushes out and cascades down the rocks. The path to the waterfall is a 20 – 30 minute trek that requires you to wear sturdy running shoes and bring along a bottle of water. However the trek is worthwhile once you come to the waterfall. Many Thais make use of the weekend to bring the family for a picnic to the waterfall.

At the foot of the trail lies an old temple named Wat Hin Lad. Its actual name is Wat Namtok Hin Lad. This temple is seemingly carved into the forest and blends in with its surroundings in such a manner as to seem as one with nature.

Visitors are encouraged to feed the fish in the river, and this can be done when crossing the white bridge that leads to the temple. Fish food can be purchased for a small price at the nearby shop. As you cross the bridge an unusual Buddha statue resplendent in its mother of pearl hue is sure to catch your eye. Apart from this the path that leads to the temple is filled with intermittent signs of Thai words of wisdom.

The monks, nuns and trainers at this temple are ever willing to lend their expertise and guidance in helping all those who wish to seek refuge in the temple to meditate, to move away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and to enjoy the calming atmosphere that permeates the temple.

For this reason, weekends are quite busy at the Wat Hin Lad as numerous people visit the temple to pursue meditation as well as stop by on their way to or from the waterfall.

With the welcoming arms of the island of Phuket beckoning from the midst of the Andaman Sea the Phang Nga Bay is as hot a tourist attraction as its neighbour in the ocean. The limestone formations along the coast have created natural caves, coves and tunnels which are referred to as hongs by the expert kayakers who will assist you to paddle your way through to paradise during the day as well as at nightfall.

Those who think that the invigorating eco friendly activity is best undertaken when you can fully appreciate the limestone under sunlight are in for a pleasant surprise if they undertake the same jaunt at night. The star studded to the purplish black sky reflect off the dark green and black waves that quietly lap around the kayak giving the ripples an instant glow and diminishing the need for artificial lighting.

The experienced oarsmen will be at the helm and they will guide you through an array of coves bobbing in and out of each while you enjoy the egrets, thrushes, kingfishers and hornbills who are perched around undisturbed by the presence of humans. The tide has a bearing on how much of the interior of the coves can be visited and if you are lucky enough it will be possible to travel into the depths of the limestone and back. Though the ride is on ocean waves there is no danger of being pulled away from the mainland and the gentle waves are not likely to make anyone seasick either.

The stand alone islands which are supposedly isolated are actually inhabited by monkeys, lizards, and sun bathing monitors, but are perfectly safe to visit. Thus, when you want to catch your breath or have your breath taken away, row towards one of these tiny islets for a quick peek at the goings on.

It is one of the leading Patong resorts and is an ideal base for your travel to this enchanting island.
