Our day started at a morning food market. A great insight into local lives. Then on to the elephant camp. Being in a small group, each ‘family’ unit was allocated an elephant (& trainer) to bathe. This was an amazing experience on its own. Following the elephants baths, we were provided with drinks & snacks before moving on to Monkey Temple. Only a short stop here before moving on. A gentle punt along the river on a traditional bamboo raft. Our ‘driver’ pointing out wildlife and beautiful scenery along the way. A stop for tea or coffee, made using bamboo over a fire to heat the water near some caves and served in bamboo cups was quite a novelty. Once we’d disembarked the rafts it was on to our final stop of the day…lunch, before heading back to our hotels. Have to give many thanks to our driver and tour guide who kept us hydrated and informed all day. A great day out!

It was the most beautiful experience we had during our stay in Thailand. The trip was so well organised and the guide and driver so friendly. The river washing the elephants was amazing we will never forget. Bamboo rafting down the river in the national park was wonderful the scenery was amazing we even had coffee made on on a bonfire the water being boiled in a bamboo cane. Lunch was really lovely couldn’t eat it all so many choices. Watching baby monkeys playing by the temple was great they were so funny. If you are going to Thailand do this trip it was wonderful if we had more time I would have done it a second time.

It was a really good boat trip. The guides were so sweet and professional and the snorkelling stops were so great. Just a very good experience

Everything went great and the whole trip was great! The group size was great and the guides were really great! Gladly again.

Trop de monde et on ne peut pas apprécier la visite.

Beautiful places, competent tour guides, equipment in good conditions, tasty lunch. Great little daytrip.
