Floating down the river on a traditional bamboo raft is an amazing way to see this drastic landscape and if you’re lucky you may even see some of the amazing wildlife that lives here.
Relax as your guides gently steer the bamboo rafts downstream while you admire the dramatic limestone mountains and serene sounds of the jungle.

Stop at the river bank for some trekking and relaxing in the front of a limestone cave after enjoying a coffee break. This coffee is made in a bamboo stick and served in bamboo cups, which you can take home with you.
Kingfishers in Khao Sok are brightly colored and often seen near the water's edge during raft trips, swiftly diving to catch fish and small aquatic animals.

Bamboo Rafting
Experience Bamboo Rafting on the Sok River
Touring the Sok River via bamboo raft is one of the oldest forms of transport in Thailand. Historically, this method connected the Chinese trading town of Takuapa with the port of Surat Thani. Today, the Khao Sok region boasts one of the most spectacular routes through towering limestone cliffs via bamboo raft.
During this slow-paced rafting adventure, you will fully soak in the surrounding scenery while keeping an eye out for wildlife along the riverbank.
Each raft can support a maximum of 2 guests and, although handmade, they are surprisingly stable and maneuverable. Don’t worry—you’ll be accompanied by your local captain, who will safely steer you through the ancient trading route.
Halfway through the journey, you will stop at a small cave where hot water will be boiled over an open fire for a picturesque coffee experience. As the journey ends, you’ll even have a chance to try your hand at punting the raft yourself—a skill that’s not as easy as it looks!
