later we arrive to the elephant camp in Khao Sok, where the real adventure
will start. Elephant trekking: Walking along and in a stream you’ll feel the sensation of sitting on
the back of the largest land animal in the world as you are puzzled over the
precise walk and agility of this great beast. The machine that can replace
this animal’s performance in the forest has not yet been invented! Aided by
more than forty commands, which the elephant remembers easily, the mahout or
elephant driver can make the animal do even the most difficult tasks. The
ride’s halfway point is a beautiful waterfall where we can swim and relax. Our transport will continue and soon
we will have a tremendous bird’s eye view over the distinctive character of
the landscapes in the Khao Sok area. On arrival to Art’s River View Lodge we
check in. In the afternoon we depart for a new adventure. Canoeing: At the beautiful Well back in the Lodge again you can
relax in the restaurants terrace. A group long tailed Macaque monkeys inhabit
the mountain across from the Overnight: Art’s River View Lodge. |

our hike and follow the track. Side paths are leading down to the river bed

wildlife in the rainforest. For this reason it’s good to have you own guide. In the period from January to February
you can be lucky to see the world’s biggest flower The Rafflesia blossom. The
natural habitat for this flora is in hill terrain and normally it requires a
specialised guide to find them. Overnight at Art’s River View Lodge. |

Note: We have become aware that it may occur that Thai company
employees / groups will overnight at The Floating Raft Houses. These groups have
not taken to the rainforest to enjoy the sound of nature, but contrary to
fight it with loudspeakers and karaoke singing, most of the night. It is
quite clear seen with Western eyes, that this is absolutely not the
experiences that foreigners come to Khao Sok to experience. That it can even happen
- is a combination of Thai tolerance and economic greed. Seen through the eyes of Thai’s - it's their country, their
national park and it is their tradition, which has priority. Authorities,
environmental groups and others who might oppose this view are ignored. |

Description of The best located bungalow resort in the
Khao Sok area. So far no multi national hotel chain has found its way to the
beauty of this place and that’s why you will not find any 3, 4 or 5 star
accommodations. Art’s River View Lodge can on the other hand by night offer
millions of stars glittered in the sky in competition with the fireflies. This Resort is genially located with
respect for the surrounding nature. All bungalows have a terrace and several
of them face the The staffs are not addicted to stress and
small misunderstandings could occur when you order meals from the
incidentally varied and balanced menu card. For breakfast try the yoghurt mixed with
muesli or fresh fruits (this is a big bowl, so maybe this alone will fill you
up). Do you want a real knock out drink, try Art’s Jungle Juice. “Best views, Best huts & Best food”. |
Description of Chiew Larn Jungle Raft: Chiew Larn Jungle Raft is rustic
bungalows build from mainly from collected materials in its surround forest.
The beds are double sized mattresses placed direct on the springy bamboo
floor. Everything is clean and nice, but an overnights stay here demands a
minimum of camping or boy scout spirit. Beds are covered with mosquito nets.
The raft houses are connected to the banks of the lake by a catwalk. Here you
will find the toilets and shower rooms. The staffs live in harmony with the
nature surrounding them. The attitude of the people living there daily life
in this area is very relaxed. Please don’t show offensive behaviours like
nude swimming, kissing in public and criticize food dishes. Water there will
be served at all times, is clean. Mistakes and misunderstandings are normal
to occur. Try to be tolerant in this matter. There English skills are not at any
university level, but even though you will get many interesting information’s
about the flora and fauna in the National Park. Meals served are prepared
with the usual Thai loving care and considered the simplicity of the cooking
facilities the food is very delicious. The raft house has a limited supply of
beer and soft drinks available. If you are a snack eater, then bring it with you to the lake. |
