Der Ausflug war sehr gut organisiert und wurde von einem netten Guide geleitet. Die Verpflegung war umfassender als erwartet und beim Lunch wurden angegebene Lebensmittelunverträglichkeiten berücksichtigt. Die Inseln sind traumhaft, man sollte sich jedoch bewusst sein, dass sie von vielen Touristen angefahren werden und es daher nicht immer gerade idyllisch ist.

Insgesamt eine sehr schöne Tour. Alle Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sehr gute Verpflegung während der gesamten Tour. Der gesamte Tourablauf war sehr gut durchorganisiert.Sehr schöne Schnorcheltrips und 2 schöne Landpausen. Allerdings waren waren von der Hotelabholung bis - Rückkehr insgesamt 11 Stunden unterwegs, bei einer anvisierten Ausflugsdauer von 4 - 8 Stunden. Das sollte besser kommuniziert werden.

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.

Full-day Khao Lak highlights tour with Buddhist temple blessing

Taking a closer look at Khao Lak local life rewards you with a deeper cultural understanding on this varied tour. You'll meet the locals, learn a little Thai boxing and be blessed by Buddhist monks. Then swap culture for nature with lunch at the beach and a visit to a turtle rescue centre. Malee, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘You'll have some fun getting to grips with Thai Boxing moves, but the original purpose of Muay Thai was not about fun.

First, we'll stop by the local school to see how Thai children go about their morning routine.
