After that we will drive to the Mokfa waterfall, where you will have time to swim or relax while enjoying the beautiful scenery. |
12:15 am | Lunch at local restaurant. |
01:00 pm | From there we will start our 3-4 hour trekking tour into the jungle. Your guide will provide you with information about the plants, animals, and villages surrounding you and will answer any questions you may have about Thailand or the local way of life. At the top of the mountain you will enjoy an incredible view of the jungle and the mountains. |
