Cheow Lan Lake Safari - see wild Elephants!

A wildlife safari is the #1 must-do in Khao Sok and most of the overnight stays will include it. Go during dry season (Feb to May) for better chance of spotting wild elephants!

Amazing opportunity to spend a day and night at a national park. Khao Sok is the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. All was organized according to the plan on the website. The food was tasty, the team very friendly. We saw elephants, toucans, monkeys during the morning safari ❤️ Be prepared that the hotel hosts a lot of people, we had full 4 boats sharing this experience. Also there is no soundproof and loud pathway to the cottages.
