Join me as we escape the beaches and discover a completely different side of Southern Thailand.

This time we're heading deep into the lush mountains of Nakhon Si Thammarat, where quiet villages, crystal-clear rivers, hidden waterfalls and some of the friendliest locals make for an unforgettable few days.

Our adventure begins with an incredible local breakfast of Khanom Jeen before checking into the peaceful village of Kiriwong. We spend the afternoon wandering its quiet streets, soaking up local life and enjoying one of Thailand's most beautiful mountain communities.

The next morning we hike through the jungle to a stunning waterfall before continuing deeper into the countryside. We end the trip staying in a beautiful homestay surrounded by durian trees, before finishing with an unforgettable bamboo rafting experience down one of Southern Thailand's pristine rivers.

If you're looking for somewhere in Thailand that's peaceful, authentic and far away from the crowds, this might just be the perfect destination.
