Great experience - better than we expected. Very calm trip. We felt ‘on our own’ in the jungle. Spotted many animals along the way - several monkeys and snakes included.

We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we hope to welcome you again for another adventure in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
Me and my husband did a half day bamboo raft tour on Khao sok river from Khao Lak. We made a stop in the jungle to drink good coffee from bamboo pipes. (Coffee mugs) It was a nice day and the taxi driver was so polite and nice and even made a stop to a fabric store on the way home because I was looking for just that. We should never have found the fabric store ourselves. 😊We are very happy with the day. And can warmly recommend such a trip.

It's a 5 hour excursion of which you'll be on the bus for at least 2 1/2 hours. It was 11/2 uut drive from our hotel to the water. Back it was over an hour. If we'd known this, we wouldn't have gone. The bamboo raft was only an hour in which you can also take a 15/20 min coffee break. Herl very sorry everyone. The guide and driver were super friendly.

This has been a really memorable day. With an hour on the bamboo raft and jungle coffee made in our own keepsake bamboo cup. We were looked after by a fantastic guide and 2 delightful older oars-people who made the job of steering the bamboo raft look so easy. We were given soft drinks, fruit and a delicious cake to have with our coffee (which were all included). The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Memories to keep for a lifetime. The trip to see the monkeys and Thai Temple was lovely too. A trip well worth making. I would definitely recommend.

Your recommendation means a lot, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure. Best Regards, Tawan Oh-Hoo Team
We enjoyed the trip but would have liked to have spent longer on the raft. Great to see coffee being made via bamboo on an open fire. Interesting stop at Monkey temple and viewing point. Our guide was really informative too. Ultimately a bit touristy but we got to see some of the Khao Sok National Park which is why we booked the trip.

My wife and myself are currently holidaying in Kaolack (staying at the Kantary Beach Resort - Review to follow) and yesterday we went on a short (45 mins) Bamboo Rafting trip in Khao Sak. It was well organised and the staff were both pleasant and informative. The river water levels were also low so it was a comfortable and slow ride but, unfortunately, we didn’t see any bird or wildlife at all!! No matter, it was an enjoyable trip followed by a nice local lunch but I wouldn’t rush back!!

Very nice excursion. Travelling on a bamboo raft where they added chairs was amazing. You didn't get wet, you sat well and the whole ride was super pleasing. Beautiful views and the trip took a total of about 50 minutes. A small coffee stop was also where you got to keep your bamboo mug as a souvenir :)

We had an amazing day with the rafting in the beautiful jungle! The guides made us bambu coffee and we got to keep the bambu cups as souvenirs. After the rafting we visited the monkey temple which was lovely and got to go inside this beautiful colourful temple. The last stop was a beautiful view of the Khao Sok view point where we took pictures. Our guide and driver that picked us up from our hotel was the best! They were so friendly and shared good information and on our way back to the hotel they even stopped on some spots to show us the beautiful small temples around in Khao Lak.
