Rafting
Day-long rafting trips on the Kwai Yai or Mae Khlong rivers let you venture far into the jungle. The mammoth rafts, which resemble houseboats, are often divided into separate sections for eating, sleeping, and sunbathing. Be careful when taking a dip—the currents can sometimes suck a swimmer down. The cost of a one-day trip starts at about B300. Longer trips are also available. Either your hotel or the tour companies below can help you arrange rafting trips. The Tourism Authority of Thailand office can also be of assistance.
