Wakeboarding at Taco Lake, Bangkok

Image
If you have ever felt the pain from doing a 100 push-ups or more in one go (or maybe less depending on you), that’s exactly the pain you would feel when you do waterboarding sports. At the end of the 2 hour wakeboarding session, my forearm felt like my muscles were about to burst. There were also times I think I heard my muscles cry whenever I lifted something up. This was me after 2 hours of wakeboarding But don’t let the pain fool you. If you’re the kind of person, who knows that there’s a high risk of death or injury when performing the activity, but you still die die die want to do it, and plus point, if you have the water confidence to swim regardless of any water conditions, then wakeboarding would definitely be something you would wanna try, especially in Taco Lake, Bangkok Thailand.  Wakeboarding in Malaysia are 10x times more expensive compared to Thailand. When I say expensive, it’s not in terms of currency exchange, but in terms of availability and resources.

For those who are interested to go for the Gua Tempurung Cave Tour, for your information, the official website of Gua Tempurung (operated by APT Consortium Sdn Bhd) is actually out of date. I had difficulties trying to call in to book. But after numerous calls and resourcing, manage to connect to the main person-in-charge(PIC).

Enjoy! * * * Traveling in Siem Reap Arriving at the Airport When we first arrived at Siem Reap airport, we had to take a taxi to one of our destinations.

If you're a fan of nature, and wanna getaway from the hustle bustle of Hong Kong city centre, you may wanna give Jockey Club Mt.Davis Youth Hostel a try.
