Khao Lak to Khao Sok National Park for a guided jungle walk, Banghuarat Waterfall, Thai lunch, Sok River canoeing, and Monkey Temple.
“We had a private tour and the pick up timetable ran smoothly. Our guide was absolutely lovely and had amazing awareness spotting hidden wildlife for us to see. We loved the respect for the jungle and animals and didn’t feel we were intruding too much. We thought we would be kayaking ourselves but had guides instead who also spotted huge frogs, tree snakes and so many fish! The food supplied and extra touches (some gifts and extra refreshments) were lovely. We felt we had a special day. It was quite pricey but I didn’t regret going at all.”
