1.Khao Sok: Private Waterfalls and Wildlife Half-Day Trek

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 337 reviews · 4 hours · from $48Our pick

Spend four hours walking Khao Sok National Park with an English-speaking guide who can spot wildlife you would likely miss alone. Look for monkeys, gibbons, snakes, lizards, spiders, and insects, then cool off at Bang Hua Raet and Wing Hin waterfalls. Choose a private or small-group outing, with guides such as Aek, June, Diamond, and Big Boy.

“Our guide Aek gave us the most amazing experience. We booked a private tour with Aek and had an incredible amount of fun. We saw many animals, including a tarantula, lots of monkeys, and even an elephant nearby. He really did everything possible to make this the best tour for us. He was extremely flexible and catered to our individual wishes. The tour was even better than we had imagined.”

Leave Chiang Mai by van and open-air truck for a hill-tribe village where rescued elephants live with their caretakers.

The day is natural rather than tightly scripted, so expect rural travel, mud, and a moderate walk.
