Itinerary
What you need to know

Day 1 Phuket/Khao Sok: Early morning transfer from your hotel or Phuket airport (a supplement applies for later flights/transfers) and on arrival, enjoy the chance to see magnificent Asian Elephants. After lunch take a jungle river canoe trip down the Sok River and as you drift along watch for colourful birds flying high above or basking reptiles on the riverbanks. From the canoe you can experience a world that has changed little in thousands of years, some of the last areas of primary rainforest. Return to the camp for some time to relax and absorb the panoramic views of the surrounding jungle covered mountains before dinner in this unique location.

Day 2 Khao Sok/Cheow Larn Lake: This morning explore a remote jungle lake by local boat. The Cheow Larn Lake is a little known wonder of Thailand's southern rainforest and holds prime habitat for wild elephant, the rare Asian ox, hornbill, various monkey species, hundreds of tropical birds, amphibians and reptiles. Continue to Elephant Hills Rainforest Camp and admire the views before a fabulous Thai lunch. Swim in the emerald waters of the lake or head out and explore by canoe. Sometimes gibbon can be heard calling and langurs and macaque monkeys spotted in the trees; this truly is nature at its best. Return to the Rainforest Camp in time to experience the sun setting over the jungle before dinner.

Day 3 Khao Sok/Phuket: Today begins with a guided jungle trek. See a great variety of exotic plants, tropical hardwood trees, orchids, palms and ferns. After lunch back at the camp and one final swim, it’s time for the return transfer to your hotel or Phuket airport.

Departures: Daily from Phuket, Khao Lak, Krabi, Surat Thani or Koh Samui.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner - all buffet style offering both Thai and western cuisine. Specific dietary requirements can be catered for.

Tour price: The prices shown for these escorted tours are based on the best value travel dates in low season and include return shared transfers from Phuket or Khao Lak hotels or Phuket airport (must be on flight arriving before 9am), accommodation and activities as outlined in each itinerary.

Note: Not recommended for the less mobile. The jungle trek at the Rainforest Camp will suit some and be more difficult for others as the terrain can be unpredictable.
