All in all a fun trip
We had a fantastic day with a short boat trip up the river khwae and crossed the bridge on foot. Our guide was very helpfull an informative. The national park was beutiful, but to swim in the first four levels you needed a life jacket, which removed some of the fun (only 20thb to rent). Still a fun trip, people in bad shape can enjoy the lower levels and people in avrage shape can enjoy a nice hike through the jungel all the way to level 7.
