Tree house jungle activity holidays in Thailand
How Tree house jungle activity holidays in Thailand makes a difference
Environment
Our new air-conditioned tree house and tree high rooms are concealed amongst the trees and are constructed of man-made materials whilst still retaining that “jungle feel”. The rooms are built carefully up, on and around the trees without damaging the centre core. Most rooms have the tree growing through the room at some point. The electric supply to the rooms is controlled by a key sensor, so when you remove the key on leaving the room, the electricity will automatically cut off, thereby saving energy.
Our guests are usually travelling as couples, families or small groups so we avoid uncontrollable mass tourism in the area.
Our Confirmed Booking Vouchers, Invoices and Travellers Code of Conduct guidelines are sent by email to all guests who confirm their bookings. Amongst other things the Code of Conduct suggests ways to reduce the negative impact on the environment and the community, including minimising damage to flora and fauna and appropriate dress code for certain situations.
- Tree House Encounter - Our Tree House Encounter tour includes a guided trek into Khao Sok National Park on pre-established trails, thereby avoiding damage to the flora and fauna and disturbing the wildlife. We pay Park Entrance Fees, the proceeds of which go towards maintaining the ecology of the National Park area.
We visit the local elephant camp where the elephants are well treated and looked after by their Mahouts. It may not be the most natural way of life for an elephant but the job of carrying tourists to a waterfall is a lot less hard work than logging. The income derived from the elephant trek supports the local Mahout and his family as well as ensuring the welfare of the elephant.
- Tropical Taster - This tour includes a one night stay on Chiew Larn Lake in Khao Sok National Park. We pay Park Entrance Fees to visit the Lake, the proceeds of which go towards maintaining the ecology of the National Park area.

Community
The basic style tree house rooms are constructed of bamboo and thatch obtained from self-sustaining resources of locally grown bamboo. The majority of our staff are from the local area and we source our supplies of food, drink and equipment from local businesses where possible.
We visit Wat Pantoorat, Khao Soks’ local Buddhist Temple. The head monk often likes to talk with guests and he can be very informative about the local community; as well as the role of the Temple and monks as part of that community. Donations are always welcome to the Temple, though they are not expected.
- Tree House Encounter - We employ local guides who have a wealth of knowledge of the area they were brought up in and who are happy to impart this knowledge and experience to our guests.
- Tropical Taster - We use local long tail boats and boat drivers to ensure we are putting some money back into the local community. We also employ local guides who have a wealth of knowledge of the area they were brought up in and who are happy to impart this knowledge and experience to our guests.
