A long favoured destination for adventure thrill-seekers, Thailand has firmly cemented itself as the place to come for nature-based activities. With such a well-endowed and interesting landscape, your family can embark on any number of eco-friendly trips, however strenuous or gentle as you choose.

Viewing dazzling scenery and wildlife from a kayak, raft, mountain bike or trekking on foot, enables much closer and secluded opportunities for contact with the nature, not to mention the sense of dignity you can feel at preserving the fragile terrain. Spend peaceful evenings together, stargazing beside the campfire or slumbering down in a rustic forest lodge, leaving minimal impact upon the surroundings.

Energetic, exercise-minded families lean towards more physical wilderness activities such as hiking, trekking, rock-climbing or mountain biking. Whatever the season, the landscape will be alive with colour and movement as you absorb a more real slice of Thai life. Stare upward in
awe as you explore a lofty hidden cave dangling with dripping stalactites, or spot the stunning array of colourful birds or butterfly species floating overhead in forest cover.

With thousands of kilometres of waterways and coastal shoreline to unravel, listen to the cacophony of exotic sounds permeating the jungle as you gently paddle your canoe through sinewy mangrove swamps, or tumble over bumpy rapids on a dramatic knuckle-clenching white water raft ride.
