Transport to and from hotels
Wir hatten die verkürzte Halbtagestour mit Khao Sok Elefantenbaden und Takua Pa Alstadtmarkt gebucht. Tour wurde kurzfristig geändert in ein anderes Elementencamp gleich hier außerhalb von Khao Lak ca. 5 Minuten ohne Elefantenbaden im Fluß(das war eigentlich der Grund weshalb wir die Tour gebucht hatten) der Gide kannte das Camp auch nicht und hat uns auch nicht richtig geführt durchs Camp. Takua Pa war die Anweisung vom Gide 1.5h dann sehen wir uns am Ende des Marktes. Bis später
Are you ready for an adventure with a uniquely Khao Sok touch? Uncover some of Thailand's best-kept secrets on an exclusive tour that ticks all the boxes. You'll combine a variety of activities, ranging from the cultural to the natural. Haggle with locals in a market, meet elephants at a sanctuary and mingle with monkeys in a temple. Tina, one of our expert local guides, says, "You'll be able to see just how the workers here look after the elephants, including how they get in the water with the animals. You'll see this for yourself, and help out the sanctuary staff by preparing the elephant's food."
The fun begins at Takuapa market, where you'll get to taste fresh Thai fruit while meeting the locals. We move it up a gear next at the viewpoint in Khao Sok National Park, before a trip to the local rainforest sanctuary to meet the elephants. The sanctuary is where elderly elephants, who are unable to work, live their daily lives. Once you have helped out with the prep, you'll be able to prepare healthy treats for the elephants and walk with them through the tropical jungle.
And, there's more to come. Snap up some pics at the viewpoint in Khao Sok National Park, before arriving at a restaurant to tuck into a traditional Thai lunchtime feast. As it that wasn't enough, you'll get to try river bamboo rafting, sailing along the river before wrapping things up with a sense of zen at ‘Monkey Cave'. Inside is serene and beautiful, with an intricately decorated shrine and often monks praying. You might also catch sight of birds and bats in the cave, but the monkeys generally stay outside.
