The route

How the day unfolds.

Exact timings flex with conditions and traffic — your guide sequences the stops to keep them calm rather than rushed. This is how the day usually runs.

01 Stop

Pick-up from your Hotel in the Khao Lak Area

At around 8:30 AM, you will have no difficulty spotting which vehicle our driver and guide are picking you up in! About this time, you will realize that you didn’t book some mundane tour!
Pick-up times vary slightly based on the location of your hotel, thus, your exact pick-up time will be confirmed at the time of booking.

02 Stop

Visit a Buddhist Temple

Thailand is world-famous as one of the centres of the Buddhist faith, and temples can be found everywhere. Temples in urban areas are the centre of the community, providing spiritual guidance to millions of people and a place for festivals and events. The temple you'll be visiting is far away from populous areas. Allowing resident monks and visitors a place of peace and solitude, the ideal environment for meditation and quiet contemplation while on the path to total enlightenment. Every sculpture, mural, altar, and angle has a meaning or purpose and was designed intricately with this in mind. 
If you wish to enter any temples, temple grounds, or areas held sacred, please remember to dress accordingly. Your clothing should not be too revealing and must cover your shoulders and knees. Instead of wearing trousers, long dresses and skirts, or restrictive shirts and blouses, a sarong can worn to cover up in a pinch. Never walk in front of people when they are in the act of prayer. Remember to remove your footwear and hats before entering any temple, shrine, or stepping onto a monument platform. 
If you are unsure of whether certain conduct is permitted on temple grounds, be sure to ask your guide, as they are there to inform and assist you whilst on tour.

03 Stop

Canoeing at Klong Sang Nae

Khao Lak Off Road Safari Tour, The Best Jungle Experience in Khao Lak

Your tour activities include a local paddle guide taking you on a relaxing cruise downriver, revealing hidden mysteries of the rainforest that you may otherwise miss if not viewed by boat. Without the need to paddle yourself, you're able to focus your attention on the lush forest that lines the river bank and the canopy overhead, keeping your hands on the ready to take photos of the diverse flora and fauna found at Phutajor National Park.
Many of the forest’s inhabitants are masters of camouflage and elusion, making them very difficult to spot. Your paddle guide’s knowledge of the local habitat and its inhabitants will be a boon in assisting you to spot creatures that you might otherwise miss.
Water is the lifeblood of the rainforest, ever-present and the enemy of your valuable electronics. We recommend bringing a waterproof case, bag or cover to protect these devices from splashes, rain, and accidental immersion.

04 Stop

Lunch

khao-lak-offroad-safari-4

When selecting a restaurant to dine at, most people take the ambiance into consideration. Great tasting food, accompanied with the desired ambiance, results in a more satisfying dining experience than taste alone. The beautiful natural setting that was chosen for lunch creates an ambiance which would be best described as sublime. Here, you will enjoy a delicious Thai meal, which, aided by the ambiance, creates an ideal environment to nourish your body and soul.

05 Stop

Off-Road Expedition to 600 Meters Elevation

Embark on a Off-road journey through the mountainous rainforests of Phutajor National Park! Rarely visited by tourists, the Phutajor region remains to this day, pristine and undisturbed. Phutajor is inhabited by giant squirrels, monkeys, wild cats, and a myriad of other flora and fauna. For example, the world’s largest flower, the Rafflesia, can be seen here at certain times of the year. If the Rafflesia flower is in bloom, you will likely smell its putrid odor long before you find the flower! As the Off Road traverses the varying terrain, the slow pace creates a revivifying breeze, intensifying during the ascent to an elevation of 600 metres.
Breathtaking panoramic views, intriguing wildlife, and the lush rainforest vegetation make this an ideal location for avid photographers. 

06 Stop

Jungle Trek to a Waterfall

Stroll through the rainforest, listen to the Rainforest Symphony, and keep your eyes open for the members of the orchestra. After a brief 15 minute hike, the sound of a waterfall appears in the background, intensifying like a crescendo as you draw near.
Throughout history and in all corners of the world, waterfalls have been been revered as sacred places with an almost supernatural ability to revitalize the mind, body, and soul. This will become evidently apparent after just a few moments of your arrival at the falls.
Moments in time such as these have the uncanny ability create episodic memories, our most complex memories, allowing you to recall the sights, smells, sounds, textures, the taste of the air, and the emotions you felt. Take a moment to breathe it all in!

07 Stop

Return to your Hotel in the Khao Lak Area

Your off-road adventure has come to an end and it is time to take you back to your hotel in the Khao Lak area. You’ll be back in time to watch the magnificent Andaman Sea sunset at the end of an adventurous day in backcountry Phang Nga.

Michael war ein super netter Guide, der auf jede Frage eingegangen ist und viel (auch über das lokale Leben) erzählen konnte. Die Tour hat uns sehr viel Spaß gemacht und hat auf jeden Fall nicht zu viel versprochen. Wir würden definitiv wieder kommen.

We booked 3 tours with KLLD. The safari tour was definitely our favourite. My biggest concern when booking a tour with elephants was that it wouldn’t be ethical and they would be poorly treated, but the sanctuary was beautiful and family run and the elephants were so well looked after. Our tour guide Gift was so lovely and had so many stories to share about Khoa Lak it really made a massive difference.Our second tour was the adventure tour. It was such a fun day out, the guides on the water rafts, quad bikes and zip lines were all fantastic. As well as our guide for the overall trip, Ann. Ann went above and beyond, she took so many photos of us to send at the end of the day which was great as I wasn’t keen to get my phone out myself due to the activities.On both of the above tours there was an unreal lunch included. KLLD have really chosen the best companies to work with, every person we met during our tours was so kind, welcoming and really made the whole experience that much better.Lastly we did the Patong Beach tour. This included a lift down to Patong Beach at 2pm and a lift home at 11pm. We really enjoyed this trip as Khoa Lak is very quiet so we got to see another part of Thailand that was the complete opposite.

We took part in the off-road safari on 26 Oct. It was great, varied and spectacular. Michael provided us with interesting information. When the canoe trip was supposed to be we had a heavy thunderstorm. The group agreed it could be dangerous on the water during the storm and asked Michael to cancel the tour. But the day was still full of good experiences and we like to thank Michael and his driver once more.
