Elephant trekking
A lumbering trip through beautiful shaded forest and rubber tree plantations with incredible views from the mountainside stretching out over the Andaman Sea. See fascinating elephant antics such as 'massaging' against a tree or picking leaves with its trunk, and be amazed as the large creature deftly navigates a narrow pathway clinging to the side of a mountain. After the ride, take a dip in the cool pool at the base of a waterfall, reached by an easy 10-minute walk.

Bamboo rafting
Sample the villagers' transport system of old, used long before roads were built. A relaxing ride along a slow-moving river with a natural pool to cool off in. See the raft driver's amazing ability to balance on the end of the raft of bamboo poles unevenly bound together. Spot local villagers playing in the water or tending goats along the banks, or simply lean back, relax and take in nature's abundance.
