Default L/L Nepenthes in southern Thailand

Hi,
Got a chance to go check out some wild nep sites some where in southern Thailand. It's great to be able to see nepenthes species like N. kongkandana, N. ampullaria, N. gracilis, N. mirabilis and the hybrids in situ where they grew naturally. Here are some of the pics that I would like to share with you all... enjoy.

Site 1 : N. kongkandana

Great trip photos! This is the first I've seen of the Thorellii growing in the sand like that. Amazing...and it looks so dry! I also hadn't suspected the smallish leafed stem, almost like a gracils. Seems like most have the reddish underside of the lid...is that what you found? Were the sites spread out far apart or all close together? Thanks again,
~Shawn

Thanks guys for the comments.

Shawn,
I only managed to scout a small area but been told there's even more if travel deeper into the bush. The sad thing is that the surrounding area is slowly but surely being converted to farm land for agriculture.
