Get off the beaten track and see the natural wonders
and traditional life of Phang Nga Province. Visit
a turtle-breeding farm and see how many tropical fish
you can recognize there.
Glide down unspoiled rivers on a bamboo raft, where
there's a surprise around every bend - a colourful
tropical bird, a water monitor, some exotic hanging
fruit or water buffaloes taking a dip.
Then take a thrilling ride along mountain paths on
the back of an elephant; a safe and exciting trip
that the whole family will enjoy. Green, cool and
educational.

Available from Phuket, Khao Lak or Krabi to Khao
Sok National Park almost every day. Why not take time
out to explore the forest and get close to Nature?
Activities include elephant trekking in the jungle
and canoeing down the Sok River. Perfect for the whole
family; fun and educational at the same time. Canoe
silently down the Sok River in a stable canoe paddled
by an experienced guide.
Keep your eyes open for birds and other small animals.
Hold on as the amazing elephants take you on a trek
straight into the heart of the jungle. You will be
amazed when you see how graciously these huge animals
make their way up the tiny steep trails. No other
place in southern Thailand can rival the natural scenery
in the Khao Sok jungle!!

Islands |

Diving cruises to the Similans have been operating
for many years with onboard accommodation and facilities
getting better each year. Liveaboards are no longer
basic and most boats have air-conditioned cabins,
photographic facilities and TV/video, making for a
very comfortable voyage.
Diving is the main attraction of these islands. Huge
granite boulders, caverns and swim-throughs produce
a fascinating underwater landscape which attracts
a huge variety of marine life, from tiny creatures
to the great Manta Rays. Water clarity is excellent
and the scenery varies with each island.
Ranked as one of the top 10 dive sites in the world,
every trip to the Similans provides a new diving experience.
