Khao Sok is Thailand’s most popular national park and when you experience the dramatic jungle and lakeland landscapes it’s easy to see why. Located just 2.5 hours drive from Phuket it’s simple to add to any holiday and create the perfect combination of city, adventure, nature and beach.
A Land Towering Limestone Cliffs, Ancient Rain Forest & Lakes
Easy access can be a blessing or a curse but Khao Sok’s size means that it can absorb the high numbers who visit and stay. Those lucky enough to spend 2 or 3 days here will find a land of towering limestone karst cliffs, ancient rain forest and a system of lakes that show the scenery off at its best, pock marked by dramatic islands and interspersed with hidden waterfalls and caves.
Jungle Soft Adventure, Elephant Experiences, Lake Cruises & Kayaking
The most popular accommodation combination is to spend one night in the forest either in a luxury jungle camp or tree house and then one night in a raft house right on the lake. Days can then be filled with jungle soft adventure, elephant experiences (no ridding), lake cruises, kayaking and a few hours floating on an inner tube taking in the towering jungle clad hills that surround you.
Wildlife Surrounds You
Wildlife is a big draw and elephant hikes and river bathing are a prime reason to visit. You will see plenty of beautiful birds, butterflies and reptiles, but unless you’re very lucky you may just hear the distant call of gibbons especially in the early morning.
The Perfect Combination of City, Adventure, Nature & Beach
Khao Sok is an ideal addition to any holiday to Thailand as the mixture of good quality and quirky accommodation set in the heart of one of the world’s oldest rainforests offers something for everyone. And did we mention that Thailand’s most iconic beaches are just 2-3 hours away. All our holidays include a private guide, essential to make the most from your visit and bring the fascinating history alive.
