About this activity

Experience genuine local life away from the crowds. Get hands on with local family and spend a day living as they do in the Khao Sok Jungle.

This truly unique experience will be the highlight of your trip to Thailand.

We start the day with a quick stop at the Khao Sok viewpoint to get a first glimpse of the breathtaking scenery. From here it is just a short drive to Mr. Yoo's jungle home.

Mr. Yoo & his family will help you collect your fresh ingredients and prepare a delicious Thai lunch using traditional methods.

Gently cruise down the beautiful Sok River on hand made traditional bamboo rafts. Bamboo rafts have been used in this are for hundreds of years to transport goods and people. Soon the river enters a beautiful gorge with spectacular limestone cliffs on either side.

After a while we arrive at a small sandbank by the side of the river where we can stop for a refreshing cup of jungle coffee, brewed in a bamboo kettle & a short walk through the cave to an ancient temple.

Itinerary

We start by picking you up from your hotel in Khao Sok, it is a brief drive up towards the Khao Sok national park. Soon we arrive at the Khao Sok view point, where we stop to admire the breathtaking scenery. We jump back in the minibus to visit Mr Yoo and his family. Mr Yoo will take you on a short walk around his home and show you how to collect and harvest a range of seasonal native fruits, herbs and vegetables. Once you have collected all your ingredients for your meal, it is time to learn how to prepare and cook them. Mr Yoo and his family are on hand to help you prepare a delicious traditional Thai lunch. Next comes the best bit, eating it! After lunch it is time to say goodbye to the family and head over to the river. What better way to relax after a hearty lunch than gently drifting down the river on a handmade bamboo raft? As you glide down the Sok river, the scenery will take your breath away. Each bend in the river reveals another amazing view as you slowly cruise down the river, surrounded by giant limestone mountains. Bamboo rafts have been used in this area for centuries. The cruise is finished off with a quick cup of bamboo coffee and explore the cave temple.
