01/12/2023 A floating bungalow village on Cheow Larn Lake in Khao Sok National Park.
The first soundscape was recorded at night time, when most of the tourists and locals were asleep. Kayaks bubbling on the lapping waves, metal constructions creaking, crickets and suddenly Southeast Asian Toads (Duttaphrynus melanostictus) croaking in the mountain-peak-island next to the floating village. I've edited together three recordings from slightly different perspectives. Brass-instrument-like-sounding constructions, bubbling kayaks and floating devices, and this strange smooch-like-sound-creating insect that I couldn’t identify! (mayyybe Liara magna brachyptera?)
