Eco friendly picnic in the jungle 🌿
with Banana leaves and Bamboo 🎋
Doi Chaang Drip coffee in
Bamboo Cup and Khao Kluk Kapi
Family hiking in the jungle of Thailand, preparing a delicious Thai dish, Khao Kluk Kapi, using banana leaves and bushcraft with bamboo, making plates and cups for drinking and making Drip Cofee.
Hiked into the jungle of Southern Thailand with our 2,5-year-old daughter, to prepare and enjoy a delicious lunch together.
t´s a very traditional Thai dish, Khao Kluk Kapi (ข้าวคลุกกะปิ) which translates into Rice mixed with shrimp paste,
served on fresh banana leaves, served on bamboo plates made by Joe, and the food was
prepared on palm leaves (Licuala paludosa) and Calathea leaves found in the jungle.
Joe also made bamboo cups with his bushcraft skills and a broken thumb.
One cup for Serina to enjoy a refreshing sip of water, and a cup for Cat to make her Drip coffee in with her favorite coffee brand, Doi Chaang Coffee, organically grown in Chiang Rai.
We hope you enjoyed this video, as this is the first video we feel that we get to show the viewers what we are about and what our future videos will be about... Quality family time spent together out in nature, making and enjoying delicoius food together and learning from nature and cultures from every corner of this world.

Family hiking trip in Beautiful Norway
Vallvatnet, Steigen
Incredible Northern Norway
Our first family hiking trip to a hidden viewpoint spot in Steigen, Nordland.
A beautiful spot and place to visit when you´re in the North of Norway.
This is an old video filmed with an iPhone, from our last trip to our cabin in the North of Norway, September 2018.
Our daughter was only 16 months then and had great fun hiking with us for 5 beautiful hours.
During our long hike, we got to see amazing arctic nature and found an offbeat path to a hidden viewpoint,
with stunning views over the beautiful fjords and the uniquely shaped mountains of this region.

DISCOVER PHANG NGA | Klong Hin Lat | Khao Na Yak |
คลองหินลาด | เขาหน้ายักษ์ จ.พังงา
This is our first video in our new series called Discover Phang Nga, where we will show you places where most of us, both locals and tourists, haven´t seen or been before, to give you ideas and inspiration for where to go when you´re visiting the
Phang Nga province in the South of Thailand.
We loaded the car with our Feelfree Triyak and headed towards Thai Muang, where we drove on the whitest sand road ever seen in this area towards a small wooden pier, where we could take our Kayak down, and started kayaking on Klong Hin Lat.
We kayaked to a Mangrove island, and took a little rest stop there and found ourselves surrounded by beautiful Mangrove trees, and the Hin Lat river passing by us. We enjoyed a simple, and delicious picnic there and a
freshly dripped Doi Chaang coffee.
After our little break, we continued kayaking a bit more and passed by fishermen (and lady) making their living out of this abundant river. In the afternoon, we drove across over to Khao Na Yak, and had the whole beach to ourselves, and sharing the water with some few fishermen looking for krills and fishes.
It´s a beautiful beach, with pure withe sand and very inviting and turquoise water. On the way home, we stopped and took some lovely shots of wild Spathoglottis orchids and flowers.
A truly beautiful place with stunning and unique sceneries of nature, with pure white sand, mangrove forests, beautiful tree formations of Eucalyptus trees, Jambolan trees and Red Samet trees.

UNSEEN KHAO SOK National Park |
Khao Tor Tao Viewpoint |
เขาตอเต่า อุทยานแห่งชาติเขาสก
A TRULY hidden gem. An unseen and unknown place for many, with stunning views over Khao Sok National park and the Ratchaprapa dam. อุทยานแห่งชาติเขาสก
We stumbled across this place when we were searching on Google Earth for new places to explore, where we noticed there was a road that went through mountainous jungle, and when we looked closer, we could see that there was a road leading to a beautiful viewpoint on the highest peak of the mountain. We decided then to take a road trip the day after so we could check out this place.
We took Route 401, on the way we took a little stop at Mae Yai Waterfall, for so continue to Khao Tor Tao.
When we arrived at the road that would lead up to the viewpoint, we found it closed with a road barrier, when asking the closest neighbors, they advised us to drive to the ranger station and ask for permission to enter.
When arriving at the ranger station, we asked the ranger nicely if we could please enter, and that we would be respectful and careful of the place and nature.
The ranger saw our good intentions and gave us permission to drive up to the viewpoint.
As we drove up, we could easily understand why they´ve put up a barrier, as we could see that there was a lot of wildlife there.
On our way up, we were fortunate to see a Malayan Sun Bear run across the road, a Wild Cat and a Squirrel, all too quickly before we got the camera recording.
When we arrived at the well kept, clean and beautiful viewpoint, we got immediately stunned by the amazing view over the green jungle, with enchanting mist and fog lifting up like a veil to reveal the beautiful nature beneath it.
We could also see the Ratchaprapa dam, the name was given by our late king, Rama 9, meaning Light of the Kingdom.
We enjoyed our visit at Khao Tor Tao very much, a truly private place, where we could relax, be peacefully and undisturbed deep inside nature, feeling like we´ve found heaven beneath the clouds.
On the way home, we stopped by to take some photos of a charming Bamboo Bridge and enjoyed a delicious shot of Espresso at Caligo Coffee Factory before returning home.

INCREDIBLE UNSEEN KRABI | KLONG NAM SAI
KAYAKING ON CRYSTAL CLEAR WATER
คลองน้ําใส กระบี่
A hidden spring water pool with clean and crystal clear water, surrounded by beautiful green and pure nature. It is best experienced by Kayaking through the lake for so to get to the tranquil and hidden lagoon.
We took a family road trip to this Beautiful place, driving from Khao Lak to Krabi คลองรูด คลองน้ําใส กระบี่
Rented Kayaks at Lazanya tour ( 200 THB per person ) and started paddling, following the white balls left out on the lake as a trail towards the spring water pool. On the way, you get to see wild Orchids, beautiful trees like the edible Barringtonia Pendula King and Sagu palm, beautiful stone formations, different types of Fish and even Golden Apple Snail Eggs.
When entering the forest, the temperature cools down immediately and the water appears inviting. The crystal clear water is very pure and clean that makes you want to take a dip. We were lucky to go there during the early afternoon, with only a few people there before us, and when we kayaked a bit further in, we got a private spot to ourselves to take a dip in the cool water and explore the beautiful paradise.
We recommend going to this place before it will get too overcrowded due to future popularity, for now, it is somewhat still a hidden gem, with only a few tours and locals going to the spring water pool for a swim and having a relaxing time.
