What to expect
Deep in the Takua Pa rainforests lies a ‘lost world'. Known locally as Little Amazon, it's like Jurassic Park without the dinosaurs though there's plenty of exotic wildlife. This adventure kicks off in the old-world town of Takua Pa before exploring Little Amazon by canoe.
Journey to Takua Pa, a town that has an edge-of-civilisation feel. Sino-Portuguese buildings stand beside Chinese shrines and tea houses, and it's from here that we'll venture into the lost world. Once inside, you'll take a canoe down the Klong Sung Nae River, floating through the shadows of massive banyan trees.
We'll make our way to the tropical palm forest, all the while listening closely for signs of wildlife. After you've spent some time exploring the forest, it's back to Takua Pa. Here, you'll be immersed in local Thai culture. There'll be some sightseeing in the town, too, with highlights including Thai and Chinese temples, and houses that were built centuries ago.

Khao Sok Eco Tour with Elephant Sanctuary Visit
Are you ready for an adventure with a uniquely Khao Sok touch? Uncover some of Thailand's best-kept secrets on an exclusive tour that ticks all the boxes. You'll combine a variety of activities, ranging from the cultural to the natural. Haggle with locals in a market, feed elephants in a sanctuary and mingle with monkeys in a temple. Tina, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘You'll be able to get really involved with the elephants, helping out the sanctuary staff by preparing their food, giving them a mud bath and then washing off these gentle giants in the river.'The fun begins at Takuapa market, where you'll get to taste fresh Thai fruit while meeting the locals. We move it up a gear next at the viewpoint in Khao Sok National Park, before a trip to the local rainforest sanctuary to help feed, bathe and care for elephants. The sanctuary is where elderly elephants, who are unable to work, live their daily lives. Once you have helped out with the prep, you'll be able to feed healthy treats to the elephants and walk with them through the tropical jungle, before bathing them and planting food for them.And there's more to come. After a lunchtime feast courtesy of a Thai cooking show, you'll end the tour at ‘Monkey Cave', or Wat Suwan Khuha, a cave temple which is home to a large, golden, reclining Buddha – and lots of monkeys. Inside the cave, all is serene and beautiful, with an intricately decorated shrine and often monks praying. You may also catch sight of birds and bats in the cave, but the monkeys generally stay outside.

Khao Lak Highlights Tour with Buddhist Temple Blessing
Taking a closer look at Khao Lak local life rewards you with a deeper cultural understanding on this varied tour. You'll meet the locals, learn a little Thai boxing and be blessed by Buddhist monks. Then swap culture for nature with lunch at the beach and a visit to a turtle rescue centre. Malee, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘You'll have some fun getting to grips with Thai Boxing moves, but the original purpose of Muay Thai was not about fun. It began centuries ago when the army developed battlefield tactics for unarmed combat. These ancient combat techniques eventually evolved into the popular sport we know today.'It's all about getting to know Thailand's authentic side on this tour. First, we'll stop by the local school to see how Thai children go about their morning routine. Next, it's on to a temple to offer the Buddhist monks a small donation in exchange for good karma and a sacred bracelet. There's time for a look around the colourful temple to take some photos, too.After the calm of the temple we'll raise the tempo and have a go at the high-flying kicks and powerful punches of Muay Thai boxing at a gym. After all that action you'll be ready for a typical Thai lunch at Sai Rung Waterfall's restaurant. You'll have some time to reflect at the Tsunami Memorial, before an extra-special treat – a chance to learn about, care and feed the elephants at a nearby seaside sanctuary. You'll round off your day with a visit to the turtle rescue and rehabilitation centre to find out about their work.
