Khao Sok Jungle Safari

You will be picked up from your hotel in Phuket in the morning around 7am by air con vehicle before driving through Phang Nga province passing rubber plantations and small villages en route to Khao Sok National Park. Nearing our destination the scenery changes - roadside views of mountains covered in rainforest can be seen. Khao Sok is part of the largest area of rainforest in southern Thailand. The Sok river valley cuts through the jungle and offers spectacular views of the limestone mountain and cliffs. This was once part of an ancient trade route linking China and India.

One of the best ways to experience the jungle is to canoe down the Sok river in inflatable canoes. Our local guides paddle the canoe and they are experts at spotting any animals along the way. The exotic tropical vegetation clinging to the river banks with limestone cliffs and mountains rising up on both sides creates a secret primeval world that very few people every see. Birds such as hornbill, kingfisher, heron, egret, various reptiles and even wild monkeys live in the area. A buffet lunch of freshly prepared Thai dishes cooked not too spicy will be served.

After lunch we visit Siam Safari elephant camp where information will be given on elephants and their conservation and you can find out about our elephant conservation project. Trek on elephant back into the jungle - a unique and memorable experience. You'll get a bird eye view of nature as the elephant moves slowly along the jungle trail. The valley you trek in is surrounded by mountains of the national park and the scenery is truly spectacular. Sadly it is time to return to your hotel but experiencing the rainforest by canoe and elephant is something you will never forget.
