The Experience

Before You Go

Secure footwear

Wear closed, fastened water shoes or sandals with straps—slick rocks and raft footrests demand grip.

Hydration and sun

Bring a reusable water bottle and reef-safe sunscreen; tropical sun and humidity can dehydrate you quickly.

Expect variable rapids

River conditions change with rainfall—listen to guides, follow commands and keep toes tucked during rapids.

Protect valuables

Use a small dry bag or waterproof phone case provided or bring your own; phones and cameras get wet here.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Early-morning temple visit at Suwan Khuha is quieter and cooler than midday.
  • Short downstream swims near the waterfall pool offer good wildlife viewing—kingfishers and dragonflies are common.

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaques
  • Common kingfisher

Conservation Note

Operators often limit group sizes and provide lifejackets to reduce riverbank erosion and minimize impact; follow guides and carry out plastics to protect freshwater habitats.

Suwankuha (Monkey Cave) has long been a local worship site; the cave temple and reclining Buddha reflect regional Buddhist practices tied to riverine communities.
