Review Body: Expérience géniale ! Nous avons adoré cette randonnée dans la jungle avec notre guide Arm. Il ne parle pas bien anglais, mais est d’une gentillesse et d’une bienveillance touchantes. Aussi, Jaja nous a accompagnés au début de la rando et nous étions accompagnés d’un autre couple dont le guide Wet parlait anglais. Cette randonnée d’environ 15km a débuté sur le chemin classique que tout le monde peut emprunter, jusqu’aux chemins où seuls les touristes accompagnés d’un guide peuvent continuer. Il fait très humide, prévoyez de quoi vous attacher les cheveux, peut-être vous changer si besoin. Le terrain peut être glissant alors veillez à porter des chaussures adaptées. La nature est luxuriante ! Nous avons vu des tas d’insectes et animaux dont un groupe de loutres. Nous étions seuls avec nos guides, loin des autres groupes, pour observer ces adorables loutres se baigner, jouer, manger… Un moment privilégié, possible grâce à notre guide qui à couru pour nous amener à l’endroit où elles allaient se rendre après les avoir seulement aperçues de loin. Notre déjeuner était super : du riz préparé avec du poulet et des légumes, un œuf au bord de l’eau, dans un calme absolu. Et des fruits coupés par nos guides. Merci infiniment pour cette superbe expérience. On a hâte de revenir !

Review Body: We loved every minute of this wonderful experience! You get picked up at the hotel and enter the Khao Sok National Park together, which is a full jungle experience and so beautiful. What makes this journey so great is the guide - we had the privilege to spend the day with Wet - he was very knowledgeable of the jungle and could tell us something new along the whole trip. We got to see monkeys, tarantulas, snakes, got to drink out of bamboo, ate ginger and more. The lunch spot was amazing too together with a delicious fried rice and fruits. We swam there and Wet gave us a little jungle gift at last. This is definitely a feel good trip, if you look for something a bit more sporty, you can go further down the river, there is even more to explore. For us it was great as it was. If you want to explore the jungle, you do need a guide, at a certain point there is a lock and anyways you don’t realize what is around when you are on your own. Thank you Wet!

Review Body: My husband and I were looking for a challenging hike into the jungle away from the crowds. We booked our tour expecting it to be with other people but it was just the 2 of us and our guide Max. It was amazing! Max offered us numerous options of trails and we decided on the most challenging. I say this because he was really flexible and just a fun person to be around and would have gone any direction we chose. The hike ended up at a beautiful waterfall with a refreshing swimming hole where he made us coffee using a bamboo shoot to boil the water (you have to see it to believe it). We chose to do the day long hike then the night time safari with a dinner meal that he cooked for us using bamboo as the "pots". It was incredibly delicious. He set up our meal on a table with candles. Very incredible experience! Will do it again if we are in Kao Sok!!!

Review Body: Great day! Initially was a little thrown as Jaja wasn’t actually doing our tour but his cousin Puen (I hope the spelling is correct!) but he was amazing, and took the tour at our pace - which was stopping at every little creature but also making it a big way into the jungle away from the crowds he was very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour. It was so perfect having a privet tour and he took us to a gorgeous swimming location near the end where it was just us! We saw lots of different animals! And swam twice but you could swim at every stop. You can go Into the national park without a guid but only up to a point and we would have missed lots of snakes and animals if he wasn’t there to point them out! Thank you ❤️

Review Body: This is an amazing trek, and well worth the price. We were guided by Wet: always happy, helpful and kind. He knew everything about the plants, mushrooms, birds and monkeys. It was lovely having a private tour. We could take as long or short for things as we wanted. We spent ages looking at a troupe of monkeys, and I stopped at every mushroom. Some tips: this trek is not suitable for people who are in medium shape. It was muddy (dry day in rainy season), slippery and at some points truly climbing regardless of the season you go. Due to rainy season we had to take off our shoes several times to cross the river. Bring a little towel for your muddy feet.

Review Body: The thing we loved most about the trek was our guide M! He was very sweet, funny and capable. We felt save in the jungle and he pointed out nice things about animals and trees/plants. The first part of the hike is on a more big path, after that you come to a point where you can only come with a guide and the paths are a bit more challenging. When you arrive at the waterfall you can refresh in the water and have lunch, very calm, (almost) no other people and just chill :) for nature lovers really recommended. Minimal fitness is required but my friend who hasn't a lot of hiking experience was able to enjoy too!

Review Body: It was super impressive 🤩. Jaja took us to wonderful places in the national park and shared his extensive knowledge of the local plants and animals with us. He was always very courteous and very helpful. Right at the beginning he explained to us in detail about the dangers in the jungle and how we should behave in a dangerous situation, thereby allaying our fears in advance. With his cheerful nature and tremendous jungle experience, he always gave us a safe feeling so that we could fully enjoy the trip. Thank you very much...the jungle hike was exactly as we had imagined.

Review Body: Absolutely amazing! Jaja is so skilled, we would be walking along and he’d suddenly stop to point at something we hadn’t even noticed!! He talks you through the whole process of being in the jungle, how to listen, smell and see animals. It felt very personal, he had so many amazing insights into the animals, insects, trees and plants and their medicinal benefits. We saw so many cool animals, and the food was wonderful! I would totally recommend to anyone looking to actually understand the environment they are walking through!

Review Body: Our day trekking in the jungle went great with Jaja's company and experience. He passed on and explained a lot of his knowledge of the jungle to us (plants, animals and survival techniques). Jaja is a person who knows how to take the time and share his passion for nature. You will discover everything that can be done with bamboo, how to anticipate the arrival of certain animals and many other things... Thanks again for everything Jaja!!

Review Body: I had the most incredible day with Jaja and Wet trekking through Khao Sok jungle. Both leaders went absolutely above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing day and learned so much about the nature and the life of the jungle. I really hope both guides get a personal recognition as this has been my favourite day so far of my entire 3 month trip around south east asia! Big big big thank you to them both, 5 stars from me!

Review Body: Wet our guide was amazing. We learned a lot about how to behave in the jungle and how to approach a wildlife. We saw monkeys and other fun animals, had a beautiful hike, and went swimming in the most magical river! Overall, it was a great day! Thank you guys so much. * a guide is required to hike past the Ranger station and that is where the trails get incredible so we highly recommend it!

Review Body: Our guide has a great aura: he involved us and made jokes. truly hats off to him. He took us along and gave advice about dangerous species, showed us how to make natural Deet by rubbing sap onto a stick, pointed out a special plant for stomach aches, found a scorpion nest, and taught us how to cut bamboo cups and make strong rope from branches that you can wear as a bracelet.

Review Body: Jaja is a born Khao Sok local and he knows the jungle astonishingly well. Alongside spotting wildlife (and having conversations with the gibbons we heard in the distance) he taught us a lot the medicinal/nutritional qualities of the plants, showed us areas other guides don’t and even made hats, bracelets and rings as he was walking. Unforgettable experience all round.

Review Body: Our guide Wet was great. He was very knowledgeable and showed us many animals and plants that can use while being in the jungle. Furthermore his english was quite good so you could communicate quite easily what your focus is during the wildlife hike. If you are looking for a wildlife hike with a local who knows his environment, look no further.

Review Body: Not your average jungle tour! Jaja is a great guide and a cool person with vast knowledge and experience about the jungle. He explains basic survival concepts for the jungle and offers great tours in small groups. Highly recommend! Involves steep trekking on small tracks and through the river as well as climbing, so you should have some fitness.

Review Body: We had a great time on the hike. We saw lots of wildlife and learnt lots of jungle skills. The hike itself was tough but enjoyable. It’s definitely recommended to wear comfortable clothing and good shoes (hiking boots not necessary). The lunch was really delicious. We had one vegetarian and this was no problem.
