Khao Sok Day Tour with Elephant Support.

On the way to Khao Sok National Park, we will make a short stop at the Takua Pa morning market. Markets like this one are an integral part of the Thai economy, providing local producers with a place to sell the fruits of their labor.

• Prepared Dishes: Explore the array of prepared dishes available, offering a glimpse into the culinary delights of Thai street food.
• Wild Herbs and Plants: Discover wild herbs and plants that are traded in the market. These plants are not only important to local cuisine but also play a significant role in the diet of wild elephants, passed down through generations.
