Try Jungle Tours In Thailand For An Unforgettable Adventure

By Christa Jarvis


If you're not really the type to spend your vacation lying on a crowded beach, you may want to consider an adventure holiday. It challenges you to try things you've never done before and it allows you to be active. Moreover, adventure holidays usually let you be one with nature as well, so that you can get in touch with your inner self and recharge your batteries. For an unforgettable adventure that is affordable too, jungle tours in Thailand are an excellent option.

Also called 'The Land of Smiles', Thailand is renowned for the friendliness of its inhabitants. Its natural beauty is famous throughout the world too. Here you'll find idyllic islands and beaches but also vast green jungles with mysterious ruins. The city lights of Bangkok offer urban style but you'll also find little villages where people still live a traditional lifestyle.

The Southeast Asian country is regarded as the top destination in the region. It's very affordable and easy to reach. Moreover, it offers a bit of everything, from Buddhist temples to bustling nightclubs, from chaotic city streets to remote beaches or spas located deep in the forest.

The one drawback of a Thai vacation is that the more popular destinations, such as Phuket, can become crowded with rowdy tourists. Luckily it's easy to escape and find serenity if you head inland and into the jungles. With 102 national parks, the country has many opportunities to see wildlife such as elephants and tigers in their natural environment and you can explore beautiful lakes, rivers, waterfalls and mountains.

Most of the parks are easily accessed. Some are even only a day trip away from the beach resorts, making them ideal for short hikes. If you prefer something more epic, consider a trek in the mountains and visit some traditional villages along the way. Another option is to go exploring on the back of a gentle elephant.

When you venture into the jungle, there are some basic precautions to take so that your trip will be a safe one. Always go with a reputable guide, especially in the more remote areas frequented by drug traffickers, so you won't inadvertently stumble into unfriendly territory. Take plenty of water and insect repellent. Long pants and long-sleeved shirts will help keep critters at bay too. Remember that the jungle is home to some venomous snakes, spiders and scorpions, so wear sturdy shoes if you go hiking.

Its tropical climate makes Thailand a destination that you can visit at any time of the year. However, the summer months vary from sweltering to wet and you'll be better off hiking in the cooler mountain regions. For jungle adventures in other areas, it's best to visit in the drier, cooler season, which generally lasts from November through to the end of February.

Finding a tour that will be to your liking is only a few clicks of a mouse away. Many Thai tour operators have websites that allow online booking. You can also ask at travel agencies in any resort town in Thailand or even at your hotel.
