I took my 14-year-old nephew rafting, and we had the best day! Tom, Meme, and Momo from Khampan Rafting made a great team, well organised from the hotel pick-up to the rafting safety briefing. We knew exactly what we were doing, and they explained the small changes that were being made to keep us safe with the current conditions on the river (post-floods). We had a great group of outgoing international travellers that made the day, too!
We rafted for about 12 km, a mixture of rapids and calm stretches, right down to the elephant sanctuary. Lunch was simple and tasty, with freshly made Pad Thai (vegetarian) & fruit suitable for all taste buds, bottled water was plentiful, and a short hike to the waterfall to complete the day: home late afternoon, seamless service end to end. Tom, our guide, shared all the photos he had taken of us from various vantage points along the way, airdropping 98 pics and 11 videos - free of charge, a nice touch when lots of companies charge you extra for this service.
If you like adventure, fun, nature and time off your phones, get out and go rafting!
