Cruise on the Mighty Kra Buri River

Begin your day at the Ranong Pier, where adventure unfolds. Gather for a briefing and board a  local longtail boat, your vessel for a day filled with coastal exploration. 

Now, it's time to kick back, feel the sea breeze, and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Kraburi River. As you cruise downstream, take in the breathtaking views of Myanmar on the left and Thailand on the right.

Your first stop will be the captivating sandbank – not just a scenic spot but a playground of natural wonders! Dive into the fun of shell collecting and dive deeper into the tales of local fishermen. Ever tried your hand at traditional river fishing? Today's the day!

After these aquatic antics, we head back to the mainland for a feast at a lively riverside restaurant. It's not just a meal; it's a hands-on culinary adventure. Roll up your sleeves and cook up a local meal, mastering the art of southern cuisine, all while savoring your delicious creations.

After your feast, hop back onto your private longtail, and soak in those last moments of your longtail trip. And hey, if you're up for it, take a cool dip in the river—just to make those final moments extra refreshing and fun!

Step off your private boat, and brace yourself for another adventure! Hop aboard a Songtaew – not just a ride home but a scenic journey where you can share laughs and reminisce about the day's coastal discoveries.

Conclude your Ranong adventure with an authentic taste of local life. Depart with a genuine feel for the town's unique lifestyle and character.
