Day 1	Pick up from hotels in Phuket,Krabi,Khao Lak, Surathani and drive to Khao Sok. Then drive north to the province of Surat Thani, passing rubber plantations and small villages en route. Travel inland and cross over the rain forest covered mountain pass to Khao Sok. A thousands years ago the Sok river was an important trade route between India and China with boats and elephant moving goods along the river from east to west and back. Khao Sok is part of the largest area of rainforest in Southern Thailand, the scenery is spectacular with jungle covered limestone mountains and pure nature. One of the best ways to experience the jungle is on a canoe trip down the Sok river in inflatable canoes. A local river guide paddles the canoe and is expert at spotting any animals along the way. Pass mountains and cliffs covered in exotic tropical vegetation along the banks of the river. Birds such as kingfisher, heron, egret, various reptiles and even wild monkeys live in this area. The scenery is some of the best in Southern Thailand and what better way to see it than from a canoe. A buffet lunch of Thai dishes cooked not too spicy is provided. In the afternoon arrive at an elephant camp. Information on elephants and their conservation will be given. Explore the jungle by elephant. Sitting high on the back of the elephant you will get a bird’s eye view of the jungle, a most unique experience. Check into our jungle style resort for dinner and overnight. The rooms have mosquito nets and attached bathroom; the rooms are simple but comfortable.
Day 2	Wake up on the edge of the jungle, sometimes the surrounding hills are covered in mist which slowly melts away as the sun comes up and gibbons can often be heard making their territorial calls high up in the rainforest canopy. Take a leisurely breakfast at the resort then its time to explore the jungle on foot. The trek is designed to show a variety of ecological environments including big trees, jungle vines, lianas, palms, ferns, wild orchids, bamboo forest, insects, reptiles and sometimes mammals. It is not a wildlife safari but a chance to see the rainforest which has the greatest variety of life forms known to man. The wild animals that live here tend to be nocturnal but sometimes they can be heard moving in the undergrowth or their distinctive smells encountered. Hornbill live up in the cliffs high above the resort and sometimes can be seen going out to feed in the morning or coming in to roost in the evening. Leaf and macaque monkeys are occasional seen along the trail. Wild elephant live in the park but are seldom seen. The trek is not too difficult and OK for any normally fit and healthy person. A special lunch in the jungle is provided using bamboo utensils. After lunch return to the resort then onward transfer or return to your hotel arriving in the late afternoon.
