White Water rafting Phang Nga

Plus waterfall, zipline and optional ATV

The summer months from June to October are the best time of year to go white water rafting in Phang Nga. Day trip tours are available from Phuket, it’s about 2 hours, drive depending on where your hotel is. There is a stop on the water at the Wat Suwankuha monkey cave temple just outside Phang Nga town.

Tip: Visit on a week day. Weekends are much busier.

The rafting starts at 11.00 am and the 5 km route lasts about 35-45 minutes. The rapids are grade 1-3.

You get a thorough briefing on how to paddle plus life jacket and helmet. There are two guides in each raft, one forward and one back.

After the rafting lunch is served and then other activities are available like elephant trekking and ATV rides. Before departure there is time to visit nearby Tonpariwat waterfall.
