DAY 1 Phuket / Khao Sok
Early morning transfer from your hotel or Phuket airport( a supplement applies for later flights / transfers). After lunch enjoy a guided canoe trip along the Sok River passing limestone mountains and cliffs. Sit back as you drift along the jungle river whilst birds fly overhead and reptiles bask on the riverbank. You will then have a chance to interact with the elephants, prepare and feed them their daily meals before watching them bathe. Back at the camp perhaps enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool, before a delicious dinner.
DAY 2 Khao Sok / Phuket
Wake to the sound of nature as the sun rises and clears the mist over the mountains. After breakfast, explore the jungle on foot with your guide who will point out the great variety of exotic plants and tropical hardwood trees, palms and ferns. Birds such as the hornbill live high above, butterflies flap around and whooping gibbons can often be heard. After an early lunch in the rainforest( weather permitting) return to the camp before your onward transfer to your hotel or Phuket airport. Alternatively, why not extend your stay and enjoy two nights at the Elephant Camp?

DAY 1 Phuket / Khao Sok
Early morning transfer from your hotel or Phuket airport( a supplement applies for later flights / transfers). On arrival, enjoy the chance to see magnificent Asian Elephants. After lunch take a jungle river canoe trip down the Sok River and as you drift along watch for colourful birds flying high above or basking reptiles on the riverbanks. From the canoe you can experience a world that has changed little in thousands of years, seeing some of the last areas of primary rainforest. Return to the camp to relax and absorb the panoramic views of the surrounding jungle covered mountains before dinner in this unique location.
DAY 2 Khao Sok / Cheow Larn Lake
This morning explore a remote jungle lake by long tail boat. The little-known Cheow Larn Lake is a wonder of Thailand’ s southern rainforest and holds prime habitat for wild elephant, the rare Asian ox, hornbill, various monkey species, birds, amphibians and reptiles. Continue to Lake Camp and admire the views before a tasty lunch. Swim in the lakes’ emerald waters or head out and explore by canoe. Sometimes gibbon can be heard calling or langurs and macaque monkeys spotted in the trees; this truly is nature at its best. Return to the Lake Camp in time to experience the sun setting over the jungle before dinner.
DAY 3 Khao Sok / Phuket
Begin with a guided jungle trek. See a great variety of exotic plants, tropical hardwood trees, orchids, palms and ferns. After lunch back at the camp and one final swim, it’ s time for the return transfer to your hotel or Phuket airport.
