Wangsaithong river, located in the most forested area of Satun, Langu district, South Thailand, is where you can paddle a kayak for 7-10 kilometers.
Although the river is in Langu district, the road leading in from Hatyai or the central town of Satun is in Manang district. As a result, some travelers believe that the Wangsaithong River is located in the Manang district.
Kayaking is a fun activity to do if you want to get away from beaches and cities and embark on a new adventure in lush tropical nature. The Wangsaithong river originates in the preserved highlands and rainforests of Satun-Pathalung province.
When you arrive, you must book a kayak from a nearby resort of your choice. The cost ranges between 200 and 300 Baht, depending on location. Your kayak, paddle, life vest, and helmet are all included in this price.
After you have donned your equipment, a staff member will request a back ride on a pickup in a standing position. He will take you up to the north bank of the river to begin your journey. You will enjoy the fresh air, greenery fields, traditional Thai houses, and mountain ranges on this trip.
When you arrive, get your preferred paddle and kayak. They were already prepared on the riverbank by the staff. If this is your first time doing this type of adventure, it is best to go with the staff. A kayak is typically designed for two people, one of whom is paddling and the other simply enjoying the ride.
Always keep your safety in mind as you start paddling down the river's rapids. Shallow rocks, fallen logs, and crushing waters await you along the streams. They can be a lot of fun, but you must also be cautious.
Because the water is so calm in some areas of the river, you can simply float. You can relax on your kayak and take in the surrounding greenery. Consider life while listening to the various sounds of Asian birds and crickets.
As you continue along the stream's path, don't be surprised if you come across people who are short, have dark skin, and curly hair. They usually stay along the river. They sleep in bamboo houses that are roofed with leaves and tied together with jungle vines. They were known as Maniq by the locals.
