Frequently question

The strength of the water rafting is divided into 5 levels. Where we go is level 1-2, which is the basic level. Older children can join and everyone must wear a life jacket. There are staff members in the local area operate 1 person per boat which will be trained in how to control a rubber boat and save drowning people from government agencies. There is an accident insurance of the Nakhon Nayok Rafting Association.

The specialty of the rapids here is that you can go rafting all year round. Because it's water controlled by a dam gate. But it must be on a holiday because the dam will release water on holidays especially for the community's tourism business. Therefore, it is different from other rapids that can only be rafted during the rainy season.
