of macaques, playful antics of gibbons, and several subspecies of rare hornbills. Return 1000 years to the superbly restored Khmer Temples of Phnom Rung and its sister temple Muang Tham. On the way into Korat town stop at a pottery making village and try your hand at ‘throwing’ a pot.

Drive to Kanchanburi and the infamous ‘Bridge over the River Kwai’. After lunch continue to a lake-side village to board a traditional-style Thai houseboat. Spend the afternoon swimming, relaxing on deck or napping in a hammock as the houseboat slowly cruises the lake. In the evening enjoy a delicious Thai dinner.

Day 6: Waterfall and Coconut Island
After a hearty Western breakfast, go kayaking to the end of a small bay (or by motorboat). Take a short hike through the jungle to a waterfall for a swim and play (please note that there is no water in the waterfall from March-May), then head towards Coconut Island, one of few inhabited islands in this area. After exploring the island return to the houseboat to relax and swim, then in the afternoon cruise to beautiful spot to anchor for the night.

Day 7: Caves, Elephants and Rafting 
After breakfast go on a short kayak adventure into some small caves, then return to the houseboat and head north.

Dinner is onboard the houseboat under a starry night sky.
