About Khao Lak Land Discovery

The Khao Lak Land Discovery tours offer a variety of exciting activities, one of which is bamboo rafting. This unique experience is a must-try for all tourists. Contrary to initial assumptions, bamboo rafting is far from boring. The guides are excellent in navigating the river and are keen to point out various animals within the environment, making the experience even more enriching.

The Khao Lak Expedition tour is another fantastic option. The guides, Oil and Tan, are known for their insightful commentary and first-hand experiences. A particular highlight of this tour is the bamboo rafting and a visit to a secluded waterfall. The guides are very helpful throughout the journey, taking time to explain specific parts of the tour, the history, and pointing out local wildlife and other attractions.

For families with children, the Half day elephant visit is a great choice. Kids will love seeing the elephants up close and having the opportunity to swim and bathe with them. The company also offers a visit to the Sea Turtle conservation project in Khao Lak at no extra charge, aside from the entrance fee. However, be prepared for a bit of travel time as the bus ride to pick up and drop off guests can take up to 1.5 hours.

The Khao Sok day tour is another family-friendly option. The tour guide, Gift, is known for her excellent English and informative commentary. The tour includes a visit to the local market, canoeing down the Khao Sok river, a lunch stop at a tree house hotel, and a visit to the monkey temple. Despite the low water level, the river is beautiful and the guides are adept at spotting wildlife like snakes and monkeys. The elephant bathing experience is also part of this tour, where guests can help scrub the mud off the elephants and feed them.

The Chiew alarm Lake, Khao Sok Day tour comes highly recommended. The tour includes a 2-hour jungle trek with a local guide, a cave visit, and lunch at a floating restaurant where guests can also swim. The lake is vast and stunning, as is the surrounding scenery. It's advisable to bring extra water for the trek.

For those who want to get up close with elephants, a last-minute decision to visit them can turn out to be one of the best decisions of the trip. The tour guide, Volker, is fluent in English and knowledgeable about the elephants and Thai life in general. The elephants are gentle giants and guests are warned ahead of time that they are never pressured to do anything they don’t want to do.

The Khao Lak Safari is another wonderful experience. The tour includes a visit to the Tsunami memorial, a temple, the Turtle sanctuary, and the elephant welfare centre. Guests can get up close and personal with the elephants, who appear to be very well cared for. The tour also includes a great lunch followed by freshly ground and made coffee in amongst the coffee plants. The bamboo rafting experience led by a friendly oarsman is very peaceful and a great experience. The tour ends with a visit to a waterfall. The guide, Ann, is very personable and makes the day even more enjoyable.
