Khao Sok Jungle & Lake Adventure - Private

Our guide ‘Bow’ made our trip special, he was attentive and happy. We understood the temple because he took the time to explain and show us in detail. The lake was stunning and the lunch was great. The only thing I was disappointed with is I thought we’d be able to go into the jungle on foot in our free time. Unfortunately that was not the case. Its mainly water, boat, swim and bamboo rafting.

We had an amazing trip with a fully, fun-packed activity itinerary! Picked up at 7:30am from our hotel. First stop jungle trek with elephants, which was a great experience, then onto an awe inspiring temple visit. Next stop was onto a long boat to see the dam and reservoir. Pit stop for Thai lunch at the dam. Then back on the boat for more awe inspiring sight seeing. Could also swim here and go out on kayaks but we were keen to move onto our next experience which was bamboo rafting - which was great fun - despite being caught in a downpour! After an adventure filled day we were taken back to our hotel after a long but very worthwhile and fun day. What made it all the more amazing were our brilliant guide Pet (not sure of spelling) who looked after everything from ticket buying, to handing our ponchos when it rained! And Par, who drove us everywhere. We had a lot of fun in the car between each experience and we can’t recommend them highly enough. You won’t be disappointed if you book this trip.

I can’t say enough good things about this tour—it was hands-down one of the best days of my trip! Our guide, Bao, made the entire experience unforgettable. We were picked up right from Paresa Resort and taken on a perfectly planned adventure through five incredible stops. Bao’s energy, knowledge, and genuine care for us shone through every step of the way. We started at Wat Mahathat Wa Chi Ra Mongkhon, a stunning Buddhist temple where Bao shared fascinating insights that brought the place to life. Next, we headed to the Cheow Lan Lake viewpoint—absolutely breathtaking! Bao set the tone for our upcoming boat ride, pointing out the scenery and getting us excited. The long boat ride on Ratchaprapha Dam Reservoir (Cheow Lan Lake) was a highlight, with those towering limestone mountains all around us. The boat captain was a riot—hilarious and entertaining—and Bao was right there snapping tons of photos and videos to capture every moment for us. Lunch at Phutawan Raft House was a feast! A huge spread of Thai dishes, and the staff even went out of their way to accommodate my seafood allergy—such a thoughtful touch. After feeding corn to the local fish (so fun!), we kayaked, which was the perfect way to soak in the surroundings. The final stop, Khlong Sok Bamboo Raft, was an unexpected gem. It kicked off with tea and coffee boiled in bamboo vessels, served in complimentary bamboo cups—a cool keepsake. The bamboo raft cruise down the creek was pure magic. We spotted a monkey (the raft captain tossed it a treat!), and he pointed out a snake coiled in a tree. At one point, the wind picked up, scattering leaves across the water as we glided through—it felt like a scene from a movie. Bao’s enthusiasm and attention to detail tied it all together. He made sure we were comfortable, entertained, and left with memories (and photos!) to last a lifetime. This tour company knows how to deliver, and Bao is a superstar. Book this tour—you’ll be raving about it too!

Great tour with our guide Gun. Lot of local information and organised all the logistics of our day trip so we could just enjoy and relax. Lunch was great too! Definitely recommend the private tour.
