Just imagine a massage in an open air Sala along the river side. As you let the masseur (masseuse) release the tension in your muscles your mind will drift along the river with the gentle breezes and scents of the tropics.

Masseuses can be booked for traditional Thai massage in your own room or within the gazebo near the river, at reasonable rates.


River View

Bookings for white water rafting can be made at the resort. Join these popular guided adventures down the rapids of the Khek River. The difficulty is ranked at between levels 3 and 5 and this adventure is ranked as serious fun. (Available June – October only.)


Elephant Trekking

Elephants have played an integral part in Thailand's history, both in military battles and economic development. They still work in some parts of the country not accessible by modern machinery. However, for the most part they are a reminder of the past. Only through public demonstrations of their grandeur can they now survive.

One of the most delightful experiences for guests to Thailand is the experience of elephant riding. While you may get the chance to ride an elephant in a zoo or a city theme park elsewhere, here at Suppraiwan Elephant Camp, situated 10 kilometres from Rain Forest Resort, you can ride an elephant and enjoy the scenery of the surrounding jungle, and also learn about their lives.

For those who want to learn more about the elephants, we also have a package for guests to become better acquainted with these giant and gentle animals, and have a complete one-on –one interactive experience while taking part in their daily life. Create your own extra special experience with this rare opportunity to spend time with one of the earth’s most magnificent creatures. Sign up for this program early as limited space is available each day for this rare and exciting opportunity.
