Itinerary

Day 1

Surat Thani – Floating Raft Houses

After arriving at the railway station in Surat Thani, you'll be collected and taken to Lake Racha Praba. You'll then take a spellbinding boat trip over the still waters, surrounded by spectacular rock formations jutting vertically from the lake. Within a few hours, you'll arrive at your unique accommodation - floating raft houses. Each floating cabin has its own Canadian style canoe and a huge rubber tube. Once you've settled in to your cabin, you can opt to be whisked off for a walk through dense jungle, past bamboo groves and beneath giant trees. You will get back in the afternoon ready for a plunge into the cool lake, or for a siesta on the veranda of your floating bungalow. This really is a very relaxing and unusual location. The floating raft houses are simple, but all have a bed with mattress and of course mosquito nets are provided.

Day 2

Jungle Lodge – Khao Sok
Wake up to the sounds of the jungle, and after breakfast, try taking your canoe for some monkey spotting along the shores of the lake? How you spend your afternoon will depend upon weather and water levels. You can either head for a hidden lagoon or go jungle walking. You will hear the dense rainforest rustling with the sounds of monkeys, birds and insects. At the end of the afternoon, you'll be transferred to your jungle lodge in Khao Sok National Park. Make yourself at home in your jungle bungalow, which is set on banks of the river and completely embedded in tropical nature. Amazing.

Day 3

Jungle lodge - Khao Sok
After breakfast, you can set off for another exhilarating jungle walk with your guide. You will get to know the tropical rainforest, as your guide explains the vegetation and wildlife that you encounter on your hike. During the trip, a tasty lunch will be served at a picturesque spot, by a clear river or cascading waterfall. You'll probably be pretty tired when you get back to your jungle bungalow, so you can spend the evening on your veranda, listening to the trills and murmurs of the jungle at night.
