We dock the boat at a small restaurant in a pretty inlet close to the beach, and ride 10 minutes through old rice fields to the ancient village of Nyafurang, where there are some incredible ancient silk cotton trees, as well as welcoming villagers. We spend a little time looking around, and then ride back to the restaurant for lunch and/or a cold drink (bring some spending money 😉 .
