TREE TOPS JUNGLE SAFARIS

Accommodation at "Tree Tops" is an adventure in itself, bungalows high in the jungle canopy and bamboo raft houses on a superb lake deep in the jungle, both basic but comfortable.

The treat to the Tropical Rain forest has a lot of international public attention. Everybody knows how important the Rain Forest is for the existence of living creatures on earth. In Thailand the 'National Parks Department'   puts a lot of effort in preserving the National Parks. Without your support they have a very tough job.

To preserve the national beauty of Khao Sok National Park we only travel with small groups guided by a professional guide. By showing the public how beautiful the Rain Forest actually is we hope that it will create more awareness about the enviroment around us.

This itinerary may change under certain "weather" conditions but the intentions, visiting a virginal tropical rain forest, are always the same.

It is hoped by now that most people are aware of the plight of the worlds rain forests. The National Parks Department in Thailand are doing their part in protecting and preserving their national treasures but they do need support. Tourism has a justified reputation for being responsible for destroying natural beauty. We DO NOT want this to happen to the rain forest.

At Tree Tops Jungle Safaris, small groups of maximum 10 persons can enjoy the experience of being in one the most fragile and vulnerable eco-systems in the world without contributing to it's destruction. We ask people to feel privileged and respect the environment.

The future of rain forests worldwide may depend on tourists for their survival.
