River & Lake
Bamboo Rafting
Take a step back in time on the Khao Sok River and explore its pristine waters aboard one of Thailand’s oldest forms of transportation. the bamboo raft. Ancient trading routes once stretched from the Andaman Sea on Thailand’s West Coast to the Gulf of Thailand in the East, relying on the Khao Sok River to link the East-West passage across the Isthmus of Kra.
Join our Khao Sok River by Raft Adventure and float along a slow-meandering river with the lush jungle towering above. Sit back, relax and take in the picturesque surrounding and perhaps spot some exotic wildlife. Along the river, there is the opportunity to take a short walk through the jungle to a cave (weather-depending). Here, learn to boil water in a bamboo stem over an open fire. and brew a unique-tasting tea or coffee just as those on this ancient trade route once did.
Each raft supports two people, accompanied by a local guide who pushes (punts)the raft along the river using a long pole. All guides are experienced fishermen who have spent their lives on the river. As the journey concludes, try punting, it’s not easy!

River By Canoe
The lifeblood of the jungle, rivers wind their way beneath the canopy of the forest and create a path where no footsteps travel. Buoyed by the waters of the Sok River and dwarfed by the sheer limestone cliffs and dense jungle, it’s easy to feel at one with nature. The river’s steady current provides the perfect pace at which to view the wonders of the forest. This isn’t a fast-paced exercise; the excitement emerges from the surrounding jungle in the form of stunning scenery and wild animals. Exotic birds, monkeys and even sleeping snakes await the astute eye.
Canoes carry two people along with the local guide, who skillfully paddles and guides the canoe down the river (of course if you would like to try you can lead the way!) A short halfway stop, depending on the weather, sees guides prepare local Thai tea/coffee over an open fire.
Back on the water, there is a final chance to spot wildlife, take photos or simply relax and enjoy the picturesque jungle; There’s no better way to explore the Khao Sok River!
