Khao Sok River Trekking Full Day Tour: Sarasin Bridge & National Park

If you’ve already explored Phuket and want to travel beyond the famous island, a day spent venturing further north to Khao Sok is a must. Join this full day Khao Sok tour jam-packed with activities and sights to complete.

We’ll get the day started with a quick stop by Sarasin Bridge. One of Thailand’snbq beautiful bridges with its shining elevated gazebos, it rose to fame due to the tragic story of two lovers in the 1970s who, forbidden to marry, jumped off the bridge. A film was later made after the tale captured the country’s imagination. 

After strolling along the pedestrian bridge and taking photos of the scenery, we’ll head to Khao Sok National Park and trek through the jungle, taking in the lush greenery and glimpsing local flora and fauna.

We’ll have a hearty lunch before proceeding to our next activity, rafting or canoeing down the Khao Sok River. One of the more popular activities in the area, it is often included in Khao Sok National Park Tours being a great way to take in the scenery.

The Wat Panturat or “Monkey Temple”, located within the park and built on a limestone plateau, is duly nicknamed for the large number of monkeys that have taken residence in and around. Make sure to keep your valuables with you at all times as the monkeys aren’t known for being shy!

Before making our way back to Phuket, we’ll visit the Khao Sok Viewpoint and take in the park’s amazing rainforest terrain. Don’t forget to whip out your cameras or phones to snap photos as souvenirs for a memorable day.
