Day Trip Khao Sok Bamboo Rafting .
Touring the Sok River via Bamboo Raft is one of the oldest forms of transport in Thailand, in the past, this form of transportation was used to connect the Chinese trading town of Takuapa with the port of Surat Thani.
In today´s environment, the Khao Sok region boats one of the most spectacular routes through the towering limestone cliffs via Bamboo Raft.
During the slow-paced rafting adventure, visitors will be able to fully soak in the surrounding scenery while on the lookout for the riverbank roaming wildlife. Each Raft can support a maximum of 2 guests, while the floats are handmade, they are surprisingly stable and maneuverable.
