5.00Robert, our guide, picked us up from our hotel on time & took us to our 1st stop, the market in KhaoLak with lots of fish, poultry & fruit. This was followed by the monkey temple in Khao Sok which was very entertaining, the monkeys were delightful. We then went bamboo rafting in stunning scenery, stopping half way for a coffee in bamboo cups which you can keep. We then had a lovely Thai lunch that was followed by a stop at the viewpoint made famous by the film Gold with Matthew McConaughey. The final stop was feeding & bathing the elephants at the elephant sanctuary. What a great day out.
Fabulous day out and well organised.

5.00A great trip. Our driver and guide Robert was very friendly and spoke very good english. First we were taken to a local food market in Khaolak Then on to the monkey temple, lots of very inquisitive monkeys around the grounds not afraid of people at all. The temple was colourful. Then onto the bamboo rafts lovely, half way you get off the raft and climb up a steep bank to a cave where you have coffee from a bamboo cup, crazy! After the rafting you go to a restaurant for lunch which was good. Next we went to the elephant camp. Spent time feeding and then down to the river to bath the elephant. An amazing day.
Lovely day trip from Khao Lak

5.00Great family day out. We started at a local market and then headed to the elephant sanctuary which the kids and adults all enjoyed very much! The elephants were really well treated and all very ethical. We then headed out for some bamboo rafting which was very relaxing. After a Thai lunch we headed to the monkey temple and then a viewpoint for some beautiful views over the national park.
Very good tour

5.00Great day out! Our Trainee tour guide Nam was fantastic and the driver ( I think his name was go) was excellent. They were both interactive and gave good information about our tour. Really enjoyed the bamboo rafting and the guy assisting us was very helpful. It was a little difficult for me to get on and off the raft and I appreciated his help. I highly recommend this trip
Such an amazing trip, so...

5.00Such an amazing trip, so much to see in the beautiful Khao Sok National Park floating down the river followed by a delicious lunch. Amazing time spent with such majestic elephants where we fed them and then bathed them. If I could change anything it would be to miss out the market where we stopped for 20 minutes and spend more time on the river, but wow, such a fantastic day
Stunning

5.00We had an amazing Bamboo Rafting Tour! 🌿🚣♂️ Our guide and driver were super friendly and made the whole trip really enjoyable. The Thai market was an absolute highlight with so many authentic impressions, and the Monkey Temple is definitely a must-see. The elephants were simply breathtaking and such an unforgettable experience. Even the bamboo canoe ride was great fun and gave us beautiful views.
