Absolutely best tour of the 3 we did in Khao Lak. Monkey temple was beautiful and the monkeys were an unexpected bonus. Bamboo rafting was absolutely idyllic and just stunning views all around. Elephants were amazing an experience not to miss. This tour visits Khao Sok Sanctuary which felt open and had free roaming Elephants. Tour guide was incredibly informative and took amazing pictures for everyone ensuring that we all had memories to last forever. Fab tour, so pleased we booked this!

Full description

Discover the wild beauty of Khao Sok National Park on a full-day guided trip from Khao Sok. Feed and bathe elephants and take a bamboo raft downstream. Enjoy a Thai lunch, visit a market, and try local coffee.

Following pickup from your hotel in Khao Lak, head to the Takuapa local market (only guests picked up from Khao Lak. Guests from other pick-up locations will not visit the local market) to browse and look at all the products.

From there, continue to the elephant rescue camp. Feed these amazing animals some bananas and cool them off with a bath. Next, visit the monkey temple. Eat a Thai-style lunch at the local restaurant next to the river before bamboo rafting along the Khao Sok River.

Relax as your guides gently steer the bamboo rafts downstream while you admire the dramatic limestone mountains and serene sounds of the jungle.
Stop at the river bank for some trekking and relaxing in the front of a limestone cave after enjoying a coffee break. This coffee is made in a bamboo stick and served in bamboo cups, which you can take home with you.

At the end of your tour, transfer back to your hotel in Khao Lak.

We had a superb day from start to finish. Short visit to the market wasn’t our thing to be honest, would miss that bit out if there was an option. But the rest of the day was superb. Elephants being the highlight, but the rafting and the monkeys were also superb. Absolutely brilliant must do trip.
