Traveler reviews
Great experience - highly recommend. We helt ‘on our own’ in the jungle.
Great experience - better than we expected. Very calm trip. We felt ‘on our own’ in the jungle. Spotted many animals along the way - several monkeys and snakes included.
Anette and Peter.
Me and my husband did a half day bamboo raft tour on Khao sok river from Khao Lak. We made a stop in the jungle to drink good coffee from bamboo pipes. (Coffee mugs) It was a nice day and the taxi driver was so polite and nice and even made a stop to a fabric store on the way home because I was looking for just that. We should never have found the fabric store ourselves. 😊We are very happy with the day. And can warmly recommend such a trip.
Excessive travel time
It's a 5 hour excursion of which you'll be on the bus for at least 2 1/2 hours. It was 11/2 uut drive from our hotel to the water. Back it was over an hour. If we'd known this, we wouldn't have gone. The bamboo raft was only an hour in which you can also take a 15/20 min coffee break. Herl very sorry everyone. The guide and driver were super friendly.
Bamboo rafting with breathtaking scenery and memories to keep for a lifetime.
This has been a really memorable day. With an hour on the bamboo raft and jungle coffee made in our own keepsake bamboo cup. We were looked after by a fantastic guide and 2 delightful older oars-people who made the job of steering the bamboo raft look so easy. We were given soft drinks, fruit and a delicious cake to have with our coffee (which were all included). The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Memories to keep for a lifetime. The trip to see the monkeys and Thai Temple was lovely too. A trip well worth making. I would definitely recommend.
We enjoyed the trip but...
We enjoyed the trip but would have liked to have spent longer on the raft. Great to see coffee being made via bamboo on an open fire. Interesting stop at Monkey temple and viewing point. Our guide was really informative too. Ultimately a bit touristy but we got to see some of the Khao Sok National Park which is why we booked the trip.
