点评:From the moment you leave the main Chi Phat road you know immediately that this isn't going to be a normal experience in the best way possible. After twisting through jungle roads that are almost certainly not for bikes for a few kilometres, a jungle oasis opens up with the bungalows, Kiri, & Doc (both pictured) waiting to greet you, one significantly more warmly than the other!).
Our human guide Born was chatty & informative from the outset & throughout, and the Release Station rangers despite varying levels of english were all incredibly friendly & accommodating of our incessant curiosity & photo taking. Whilst we were on holiday, they were not, and it was refreshing to see them just get on with their work & not need to dress up what they were doing - it was a genuinely authentic experience.
We stayed two nights. You will get the chance to do the feeding rounds in the morning & evening, as well as the night feeding if there are any pangolin at the station - go on every one of these that you can. There will be a hike that you can go on with the ranger/s & your guide, and if the weather is behaving a quick walk to a sunset viewing spot in the evenings - just do everything that you possibly can whilst here. It is all incredible, and I'm still pinching myself as I type about it now.
Water & food are provided, with the latter being whipped up by one of the Release Station staff & being significantly better than anything you've ever paid for in a restaurant.
It's expensive on paper, but the money all goes into the Release Station and as such is worth every cent.
翻译:从离开 Chi Phat 主路的那一刻起,你就会立刻明白,这绝对不是一次平凡的体验,但绝对不是最好的体验。蜿蜒穿过几公里几乎肯定不适合骑自行车的丛林公路后,一片丛林绿洲展现在眼前。小屋、Kiri 和 Doc(两人都如图所示)正等着迎接你,而且一位比一位热情得多!)。
我们的导游 Born 从始至终都健谈且知识渊博。放生站的管理员们,尽管英语水平参差不齐,却都非常友好,并乐于接受我们不断的好奇和拍照。虽然我们在度假,但他们却没有,看到他们专注于自己的工作,无需精心打扮,这令人耳目一新——这是一次真正地道的体验。
我们住了两晚。你将有机会在早上和晚上进行喂食,如果放生站有穿山甲,还可以进行夜间喂食——尽可能地体验这些活动。您可以跟随护林员和导游徒步远足,如果天气好的话,还可以在傍晚快速步行到日落观赏点——在这里,尽您所能,尽情享受。这一切都令人难以置信,现在我打字的时候还在掐自己。
我们提供水和食物,食物由放生站的工作人员快速准备,比你在餐厅吃到的任何食物都要好得多。
虽然价格不菲,但这些钱都用于放生站,因此物有所值。
