I like the way they built their houses along the river bank...I wish I can have one too! :)

After awhile, we passed by the Famous pub in Cherating - The Little Bali pub and Bistro which is crowded on every evening...

After a while, our boats went into another small river named - Belat River (N4.13782 E103.39514). The atmosphere was really quite and calm, I felt peaceful...

Entering Belat River of Cherating River...

There were many mangrove snakes, squirrels, monkeys and some mangrove crabs, fishes at the Belat River...the roots of the mangrove tree is different (photo below) from what I experienced at Kukup Island, Johor.

The roots of the mangrove trees look like wave...

There was a interesting part within our journey...we were shocked by the mangrove snake on the tree while the boat approching...:)

There was a mangrove snake on the tree!

And the expression from our teammates....! :)

"Snake on top of you!" We shouted...:)

While we on the way back, the boatman speed up the boat to the estuary of Cherating river...

When the boat speed up, it created a nice scene of the wave...
