The raft lurches, the river calls—Songprak forces you to read the current and react. Within an hour's drive north of Krabi, the Songprak River threads through dense, old-growth forest and limestone outcrops, delivering a patchwork of calm pools and sudden, teeth-bared rapids. Two guides take the bow and stern; the dinghy responds to their steady commands while the river dares you through rock-strewn bends.
