Super fun cooking class in Chiang Mai! Making red curry, Pad Thai, and Tom Yum from scratch was such a great experience. The teacher was friendly, the class was well organized, and the food turned out so good.

This was such a fun trip, a highlight from our three months travelling. We both felt so welcome at the farmstay - the family who run the place are lovely and warm - and we really enjoyed the cooking class. It was such a peaceful place to stay, and our transfer to the second part of the trip in Khao Sok National Park in the floating bungalow was very smooth. Would really recommend this experience to anyone!

If I could give this magical place 10 stars, I totally would!
I was travelling solo, and I spent three wonderful days here. This stay was truly the most authentic experience of my life although I've been to 62 countries and on countless trips! Unforgettable!
Adun, Kao, and Mali took the best care of me. I felt like I was part of their family. My little house was just perfect, it was cosy, had all the basic necessities, and quite a comfortable bed, I slept like a baby!
I joined all kinds of workshops and activities, I felt so welcome, and every single day was full of joy. What an amazing place to disconnect from our stressful daily lives and learn how to slow down!
We cooked meals, danced, sang, built a mud house, made traditional Thai medicine, picked vegetables in the garden, created our own tye dye designs, had beautiful and meaningful conversations, stargazed.
They have a traditional Thai clinic as well where you can arrange for a massage.
The coffeeshop on site is a delight, too. Their coffee is so delicious and comes straight from the farm!
Adun took me on a short hike, and I am so grateful for this experience.
Oh, and their cats! Absolutely adorable, friendly cats everywhere!
I will never forget my time enjoyed here. And I can't recommend this place enough. I miss these people already, and I hope to come back one day soon enough.

We had a unforgettable experience on this tour. Our guide Lisa was awesome and the trip was so much more than we had expected! My only regret is not being able to stay another night!

We loved our stay at Praiwan Raft House! It's such a nice environment (great nature, kayak's to explore) and the personal is very helpful. The Food was tasty and you could order more if you was still hungry. We did some nice boat trips and a great jungle walk +visit of the coral cave.

Short, refreshing & soulful trip!
We took the 2 day 1 night hut house package and loved it!
We started off the trip at 12:30pm with a scenic boat ride to the rafthouse (~1 hour). Prior to that we paid 340 baht per person at the pier for the national park. Once there we had lunch (~1 hour) then off for hiking, bamboo rafting and cave exploration which were short and sweet (~2 hours). Prior to that we paid 200 baht per person before hiking.
Back at the rafthouse we had free & easy which we chose to kayak and spotted 2 wild elephants! (~1.5 hour)
The day concluded with dinner and enjoying the rest of the night.
The next morning we had coffee before going on a safari boat ride where we spotted wild elephants again (~1 hour). We were then given an hour for breakfast and packing. The trip concluded with a scenic boat ride back to the pier (~1 hour) at 10am.
Overall the trip was short (~22 hours) and adequate to enjoy a peaceful and comfortable lake forest retreat. Highly recommended ! But if you prefer more free time, a 3 day 2 night trip may be more suitable. Thank you Praiwan Rafthouse for the hospitality ☺️

Staying at the raft house was the highlight of my Thailand trip! The raft house was simple but effective and the bathrooms clean. The staff were all so friendly and kind and the food was good! Everything was well organized with the itinerary. The only thing I wish was different was the day 1 hike/bamboo raft/cave trip. It took quite a long time waiting for a bamboo raft to cross the lake to the cave. I felt a little disappointed that we didn't get a bit more free time at the raft house in the evening to soak it in and relax. If I came back, I would book for two nights instead of just one. Overall, definitely worth it, in my opinion!
