Thailand Khao Sok Adventures

This is a classic Khao Sok Thailand adventure. Hop in a canoe as your guide paddles the boat down the river, pointing out monkeys playing in the trees, brightly colored kingfishers, and snakes snoozing in the trees above.

During your journey, you will stop on the banks for a coffee break and a swim in the cool water. You’ll continue down the river to soak up stunning views of limestone cliffs and forested riverbanks. For more information on this excursion, check out our Sabai Sabai Khao Sok Canoe Trip blog post.

Duration: About one and one-half hours in the canoe, and fifteen minutes drive each way.

Price Per Person: 750 THB for 2-3 people, 600 THB for 4+ people

Relaxing for adults, exhilarating for kids, this activity is a favorite! Guests will only get wet if they want to, yet it is a good idea to bring a plastic bag to store electronics during the rainy season.

When the river is high enough, river tubing is a favorite Khao Sok Thailand adventure! Hop on a rubber tube at the top of the river and ride down it to Riverside Cottages. Since river tubing requires strong currents, guides will accompany you to make sure your ride is both fun AND safe! In the calmer parts of the river, they can point out monkeys, birds, and snakes sleeping in the trees.

For those who think they are too old for this kind of stuff, don’t be silly: be a kid again and tube the river! Check out our blog for more info.

Duration: 1-2 hours, depending on the speed of the river.

Price Per Person: 500 THB for 2 people, 450 THB for 3+ people

Because this trip encounters deep water and strong currents, it is recommended for people who are comfortable swimming.
