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.

Absolutely magical! We are so glad we booked this trip. Guide and driver were fabulous, very knowledgeable, and funny! There were only 6 of us as it was low season and it was so intimate and special with the elephants. We had more time with them than I expected (perhaps around 1 hour) and my partner and I had an elephant all to ourselves! We also thoroughly enjoyed the rafting - so peaceful. We would do this trip again and definitely recommend it. Thank you to our amazing guide, Nine, who went above and beyond, even being our personal photographer! Everything was perfect.

We had a wonderful day with our guide "Nine?" and driver Bok. A quick stop at the market then to the elephant camp. This was an amazing experience. We were the only ones on this tour so we really got one on one attention, very attentive to us. Our guide was very informative sharing relevant information. Then it was off to the bamboo raft and tea/coffee break. Beautiful and peaceful trip down the river. The tea was delicious. Lunch was wonderful, lots of food. Finished with a quick stop at the Monkey temple. Our guide and driver were both wonderful and genuine people. They both have such a love of animals and wildlife. Bonus stop was at a makeshift shelter for stray puppies that are dumped there and our driver refilled their bowl of water. We learned a lot about Thai culture from our guide. A really good day.
