The best time for rafting at Kaeng Hin Phoeng is during the rainy season, which lasts from July to October. During this time, the water level is high, providing a faster flow, cleaner rapids, and generally less hazardous conditions. A typical outing will last for about two hours and cover four and a half kilometers of water. During your trip, you will pass sections that range from easy to challenging. After passing Kaeng Hin Phoeng, which is the most difficult section, you will arrive at Wang Nam Lorn. This is the widest and slowest section of the trip. Next, you pass through Wang Khon, a narrower section, and reach to Look Sua. By this time you will probably need a rest. Most rafters beach their rafts here and enjoy a leisurely swim at Wang Yao. At Wang Yao, the current moves at a snail's pace, providing a safe place to wade or swim.
When your strength is replenished, it's on to Wang Sai for the fast and exciting rapids. Finally, your trip concludes at Kaeng Ngu Hao where your tour operator will pick you up. When rafting through Kaeng Hin Phoeng, tourists will have to walk along the river for about two kilometers from the parking lot. However, once you see the beauty this area has to offer you'll realize the walk was well worth the effort. Depending on the resort you select, you may stop at different locations along the river.
