Ce qui vous attend

Êtes-vous prêt pour une aventure avec une touche propre à Khao Sok ? Découvrez certains des secrets les mieux gardés de Thaïlande lors d'une excursion exclusive qui en a pour tous les goûts. Vous combinez une variété d'activités, allant du culturel au naturel, tel que marchander avec les habitants sur un marché, rencontrer les éléphants dans un sanctuaire et rencontrer des singes dans un temple. Tina, l'une de nos guides locales expertes, explique : "vous pourrez voir comment les soigneurs s'occupent des éléphants, y compris comment ils entrent dans l'eau avec les animaux. Vous le verrez par vous-même et pourrez aider le personnel du sanctuaire en préparant la nourriture des éléphants."

Le plaisir commence au marché de Takuapa, où vous goûtez des fruits thaïlandais frais tout en rencontrant les habitants. Vous vous rendrez ensuite au point de vue du parc national de Khao Sok, puis au sanctuaire local de la forêt tropicale pour rencontrer les éléphants. C'est dans ce sanctuaire que les éléphants âgés, incapables de travailler, profitent de leur vie quotidienne. Une fois que vous aurez aidé à la préparation, vous pourrez préparer des friandises saines pour les éléphants et marcher avec eux dans la jungle tropicale.

Mais ce n'est pas tout, attendez-vous à prendre de belles photo au point de vue du parc national de Khao Sok. Un restaurant nous ouvrira ensuite ses portes pour déguster un repas thaïlandais traditionnel le midi. Comme si cela ne suffisait pas, vous pourrez essayer le radeau en bambou, naviguer le long de la rivière avant de terminer par un sentiment de zen à Monkey Cave, la grotte des Singes. L'intérieur est serein et magnifique, avec un sanctuaire décoré de façon complexe et souvent des moines en train de prier. Vous pourrez également apercevoir des oiseaux et des chauves-souris dans la grotte, mais les singes restent généralement à l'extérieur.

    Everything was great, but the tour guide didn't seem to interest d in getting involved with us - I can't remember him even telling us his name. After seeing Poo do such a magnificent job on our previous Unseen tour, the difference was slightly jarring. Other than that, brilliant.

    Enjoyed the elephant encounter snd the water rafting. Didn't enjoy the early market visit which felt like a time filler. Lunch was pleasant although food could have been hotter.

Full-day 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 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.
