Whether you are a couple, family, or small group, this adventure is designed for travelers who want to connect with nature in an authentic and eco-friendly way.
Jungle Hiking in Khao Sok
Your adventure begins with a hotel pickup in Phuket or Khao Lak before traveling in an air-conditioned vehicle to Khao Sok National Park Ranger Station. After meeting your local English-speaking guide, you’ll be introduced to the day’s highlights and start your jungle trekking experience. The hike takes about three hours and follows a well-maintained trail through the rainforest.
During the trek, you will encounter lush vegetation, colorful butterflies, exotic flowers, and perhaps monkeys or small mammals. Guides share fascinating stories about the forest, including how local communities have used plants for food, medicine, and shelter throughout history. The hike is not too demanding, making it suitable for most travelers, while still offering an immersive experience into the heart of the rainforest.
One of the highlights of the hike is the stop at Bang Hua Rad Waterfall, where you can rest and enjoy the refreshing sound of water cascading into the jungle. This natural break is a perfect moment for photos, relaxation, and to appreciate the untouched beauty of Khao Sok National Park.
Lunch with a View
After completing the trek, you will enjoy a delicious Thai lunch at a restaurant set against the backdrop of Khao Sok’s limestone cliffs. The Cliff View Restaurant is known for its panoramic views and authentic southern Thai dishes, offering travelers a well-deserved break before continuing the adventure.
Bamboo Rafting on the Sok River
The afternoon highlights the unique charm of bamboo rafting in Khao Sok. Unlike speedboats or canoes, bamboo rafts provide a quiet, eco-friendly way to travel down the Sok River, one of the most picturesque waterways in Thailand. Your skilled paddler steers the raft while you sit back and relax, surrounded by towering cliffs, emerald jungle, and the soothing sounds of flowing water.
This part of the day allows you to slow down and take in the sights at a gentle pace. Bamboo rafting in Khao Sok National Park is also a great way to spot kingfishers, reptiles, and other wildlife that thrive along the riverbanks. For photographers and nature lovers, it is a highlight that captures the tranquil side of the rainforest.
Relaxation at Rommanee Hot Spring
To end the day, the trip includes a visit to Rommanee Hot Spring, where you can unwind after the trek and rafting. You may choose to dip your feet in the mineral-rich waters or enjoy a full-body soak. The natural hot spring is believed to have healing properties and is the perfect conclusion to a day of adventure and exploration.

Customer Testimonials
Excellent company for airport transfers & excursions
We booked x2 transfers and the hong by starlight tour a few months before our holiday. Communication was quick and informative, and when we arrived to Thailand, kept regulaly informed by whats app. Transfers were alll on time, with clean and very good sized transport. However the highlight of our whole holiday was the John Gray Sea Canoes trip. A full day out with absolutely stunning scenery, we were allocated a private guide per x2 passengers who were so friendly and informative, taking photos and pointing out wildlife when out on the canoes. The food onboard was the best we have ever had on a boat trip, the coconut milk pudding with rainbow tapioca balls was deemed the best dessert ever by the kids! Making the kratong and floating it at sunset was a beautiful event and the lit up bioluminence after dark in the caves was again a memory we will all trwasuee forever. If you're going to book one trip, make it the John Gray Canoes - you wont regret it!
Excellente journée!
Excellente journée en bateau pour visites les 4 îles, la guide était super sympathique et accueillante. La journée était rythmée mais lorgique avec 4 îles à visiter! Et fin vers 14h30 donc c’est plutôt agréable pour rentrer tranquillement à l’hôtel pas trop tard ! Belle découverte, je recommande!
Ayutthaya
We would like to thank the Phuket Travel Store, especially Sunee for organizing some of our tours in Thailand. The team was really professional and we always had quick replies to our queries. We visited the Palais Royal de Bang Pa-In, in Ayutthaya the Wat Maha That and had a boat tour back to Bangkok with lunch. Our guide was kind and knowledgeable, we had a great day. Everything went well apart from the French guide not being available resulting in last minute changes and the boat/van not being completely wheelchair adapted. With help it was possible. I suggested either a car with a big booth for manual wheelchair users or a van with wheelchair ramp. Thank you for improving accessibility.
Wir wollten zu Zweit relativ kurzfristig einen Ausflug von Khao Lak zu den Similan Islands buchen. Dies privat. Es wurden alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, dass wir 3 Tage später diesen wunderbaren Ausflug machen konnten. Dies war unter den gegebenen Umständen nicht einfach, da Peak Season war und es fast keine Boote mehr hatte, welche gebucht werden konnten. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentin Apple war perfekt. Wir waren immer auf dem neusten Stand. Anpassungen, welche wir noch vorgenommen haben, wurden immer sofort gemacht. Der Ausflug selbst war extrem gut organisiert. Alles hat von A-Z bestens funktioniert. Für mich ist Phuket Travel Store eine klare Empfehlung wert.
