The Lost Zone Amazon & Old Town from Khao Lak

Deep in the Takua Pa rainforests lies a ‘lost world'. Known locally as Little Amazon, it's like Jurassic Park without the dinosaurs though there's plenty of exotic wildlife. This adventure kicks off in the old-world town of Takua Pa before exploring Little Amazon by canoe.Journey to Takua Pa, a town that has an edge-of-civilisation feel. Sino-Portuguese buildings stand beside Chinese shrines and tea houses, and it's from here that we'll venture into the lost world. Once inside, you'll take a canoe down the Klong Sung Nae River, floating through the shadows of massive banyan trees.We'll make our way to the tropical palm forest, all the while listening closely for signs of wildlife. After you've spent some time exploring the forest, it's back to Takua Pa. Here, you'll be immersed in local Thai culture. There'll be some sightseeing in the town, too, with highlights including Thai and Chinese temples, and houses that were built centuries ago.
