Phuket: Bamboo Rafting, ATV Riding & Monkey Cave TempleYou're picked up from your Phuket hotel and driven to Phang Nga, where you float down a river on a bamboo raft through mangrove forest, eat a Thai lunch, visit a temple inside a limestone cave, and then spend 30 minutes riding an ATV through jungle terrain.
