Making the most of the cultural and inland beauty near Phuket is what this day-long excursion is tailor-made for. From temples set in the stunning evergreen hills to a canoe trip down the Kao Sok River, this outing certainly packs a lot in.
Your activity-filled day kicks off as you set off for Bangriang Temple - widely considered as one of the most beautiful in southern Thailand. The ornate Buddhist deities are gorgeously represented, and set in stunning undulating hills that roll out across the horizon.
After journeying through the remote mountain roadways, you'll then arrive at the lushly forested Khao Sok National Park. Enjoy a delicious local Thai lunch before aiding your digestion with a mellow canoe trip along the legendary river – taking in the dazzling array of tropical wildlife as you glide along. A visit to Takua Pa Old Town on the way back gives a fascinating insight into a very un-touristy, authentic side of Thai life.
