Have you ever been to Khao Sok? If not and you are visiting Khao Lak, then we strongly suggest making a trip there. Khao Sok is one of the most beautiful places in Southern Thailand – the rainforest is reportedly older than the Amazon. That's pretty impressive, isn't it? On a typical day tour you will be blown away as you drive into Khao Sok National Park and are greeted by the lush green jungle, especially at this time of year just after rainy season when all the plants are a vivid green colour. Last week we had an interesting tour to the National Park with a family from Denmark. The parents and 3 kids came from Nakornsithammarat where they were staying on holiday. We met them at the Elephant Camp where they had the chance to ride the elephants around the jungle. This was their first time in Thailand and their first time elephant trekking; Khao Sok is definitely the best place for your first elephant trek. After the elephant trek we went to a spot along the Sok River where we stepped onto the bamboo rafts. I am a big fan of this activity as it's so peaceful, you just drift along the river taking in the dramatic Khao Sok Jungle life around you. My favourite part is when we step off the rafts onto the bank of the river at a secluded opening. Here we make coffee in a stick of bamboo and serve it in bamboo cups with snacks to our guests; it's really unique and Green Andaman Travel are the only tour operator who do this. Guests can take home the bamboo cup if they like as a nice souvenir of the trip. Bamboo is the most sustainable resource as it grows so fast, so
