Visite des points forts de Khao Lak avec bénédiction d'un temple bouddhiste
En vous penchant de plus près sur la vie locale de Khao Lak, cette visite variée vous propose d'approfondir votre compréhension de la culture. Vous rencontrerez les habitants, apprendrez un peu de boxe thaïlandaise et recevrez la bénédiction de moines bouddhistes. Après un peu de culture, c'est ensuite la nature qui vous attend avec un repas à la plage et une visite d'un centre de sauvetage des tortues. Malee, l'un de nos guides locaux experts, explique : "Vous pourrez vous amuser et vous familiariser avec les mouvements de la boxe thaïlandaise, mais l'objectif initial du Muay Thai n'était pas l'amusement. Il a débuté il y a plusieurs siècles, lorsque l'armée a mis au point des tactiques de combat à mains nues sur le champ de bataille. Ces anciennes techniques de combat ont finalement évolué vers le sport populaire que nous connaissons aujourd'hui."
Cette visite vous fera découvrir le côté authentique de la Thaïlande. Tout d'abord, nous nous arrêterons à l'école locale pour voir les enfants thaïlandais dans leur routine matinale. Ensuite, nous nous rendrons dans un temple pour offrir aux moines bouddhistes un petit don en échange d'un bon karma et d'un bracelet sacré. Nous aurons le temps de jeter un coup d'œil dans le temple coloré pour prendre quelques photos.
Après le calme du temple, nous accélérons le rythme pour essayer les coups de pied de haut vol et les puissants coups de poing de la boxe Muay Thai dans une salle de sport. Après autant d'action, vous serez prêts pour un repas thaïlandais typique dans un restaurant de la cascade de Sai Rung. Vous aurez un peu de temps pour vous recueillir au Mémorial du Tsunami, avant de profiter d'un moment privilégié pour apprendre à connaître, soigner et nourrir les éléphants d'un sanctuaire en bord de mer situé à proximité. Vous terminez votre journée par une visite au centre de sauvetage et de réhabilitation des tortues pour en savoir plus sur leur travail.

You'll combine a variety of activities, ranging from the cultural to the natural. Haggle with locals in a market, feed elephants in a sanctuary and mingle with monkeys in a temple. Tina, one of our expert local guides, says, "You'll be able to see just how the workers here look after the elephants, including how they get in the water with the animals and give them mud baths. You'll see this for yourself, and help out the sanctuary staff by preparing the elephant's food."The fun begins at Takuapa market, where you'll get to taste fresh Thai fruit while meeting the locals. We move it up a gear next at the viewpoint in Khao Sok National Park, before a trip to the local rainforest sanctuary to meet the elephants.

Inside is serene and beautiful, with an intricately decorated shrine and often monks praying. You might also catch sight of birds and bats in the cave, but the monkeys generally stay outside.

These ancient combat techniques eventually evolved into the popular sport we know today.'It's all about getting to know Thailand's authentic side on this tour. First, we'll stop by the local school to see how Thai children go about their morning routine.
