How to get there?

   A Longtail boat trip

 

A longtail boat is "the true Thai river transport." Local people use these boats as a means of transport and travel in areas unreachable by cars. We organized a full day trip with one of this wooden boats in the area of the lodge.

You will be taken to one of the many rivers near Runs 'N Roses. There you will find a longtail boat waiting for you and you will go upstream. During the trip there will be some breaks to look around, swim, enjoy the scenery. Lunch will be taken at beautiful spot. This little beach can only be reached by river.

When you arrive there you can take your time to relax, to swim and to enjoy the 'silence' of the jungle. Lunch will be made on the spot.
Halfway through the afternoon you will go back with the Longtail boat (downstream, so without the engine) and you will be transported back to the startingpoint and from there to your bungalow.

During this trip you can have encounters with animals, such as: birds (from eagles to sun-birds and many kingfishers), turtles, monkeys (gibbon-area), monitors (big lizards), an occasional snake, many butterflies and dragonflies, and so on.

You can read more detailed information on this day trip in the 'longtail boat trip-report', written by previous participants.

Runs 'N Roses is set up to support the Thai Child Development Foundation (TCDF) financially.

Many foundations have a lot of "overhead", such as salaries for staff, office rent, supplies, daily life costs, transport to and from projects and so on. If we would not have set up the Runs 'N Roses organisation, 50% of the given donations to the foundation would be spent on things like that. By staying in the bungalows of Runs 'N Roses, you will help the Thai Child Development Foundation in a constructive and lasting way. This will benefit all children involved with the foundation.
