Earlier this year, I set myself a goal to explore Tham Luang Cave known for one of the most famous cave rescues in history.
In 2018, 12 boys from a youth football team and their coach were trapped by monsoon flooding for 18 days. I've watched every documentary made about it.
My plan was to explore past Chamber 3, where the operational rescue hub once stood. I had a guide arranged and everything lined up - until it fell apart for safety reasons.
But Northern Thailand is rich with caves, and thanks to the incredible team at Cave Lodge, I found something just as extraordinary.
Over 4 days while staying at Cave Lodge I explored one of the most beautiful caves in all of Thailand - a place so hidden it's known only to locals. I kayaked through a cave inhabited by thousands of birds and bats. I trekked through wild jungle to visit a remote tribal community that few outsiders ever reach.
It was one of those trips that quietly shifts something in you — widening your perspective and showing you a side of nature and humanity you didn't know you were missing.
I came back different in ways I'm still figuring out.
