When we arrived, at first sight the floating bamboo huts did not look conducive for a good night's sleep, but the lack of Mosquitos and presence of our resident gecko to keep the ants at bay meant we were lulled into some quite nice nights by the occasional lapping of water beneath us and "chat, chat, chat" of our ant-eating companion.
The food provided was fantastic, but the continuos flow of beer on a tab was quite dangerous.
Early morning paddles in good sea kayaks meant we got to see and hear gibbons, dusky langurs as well as many birds.
A walk through a cave did not reveal much wildlife other than the odd spider and many bats but was an exciting journey nonetheless.
Walks to view points and up small creeks also tended to be free of wildlife sightings but the journey to or from these in the long-tailed boat resulted in us seeing elephants, gaur and a rare sighting of a serow.
The sunset paddles revealed the true beauty of this lake with the silhouette backdrop of cast limestone mountains, proximity of primary rainforest and the expanse of water punctuated with small islands and inlets. It is a perfect place to explore for many weeks
