We had a wonderful experience at Khao Sok ! We booked a 3 day stay with cooking class, day outing on the lake, and canoe on the river. All the activities were amazing, and very well organised.
We had luck with the weather but would definitely also recommend during the rainy season as there are fewer people.
Highlight of our trip :)

Die beiden Schwestern sind herzlich und sehr witzig. Der Kochkurs hat Spaß gemacht und war mega lecker. Die Hütten sind gut dicht so dass keine Viecher rein kommen.

Two days trip in August (Rainy season) no sun at all and almost no animali sight.
Our trip was great with surraundings and hotel and the Guide, Lisa, did her best to make our tour enjoyable and funny!
March to May are the suggested months to get the most out of what the tour is offering unless you love rain and don't mind to get wet aaaaallll day.

This is a once in a lifetime experience and extremely worth it if you’re outdoorsy. We saw elephants,
Monkeys . A pig. The room was nice. The food was amazing. The staff is thorough and friendly. I made friends. And the mountains and water were unforgettable. You have to be flexible that rain or other things may impact the itinerary - but you get partial refunds if anything isn’t doable. You also get freedom to kayak. Swim. Explore for monkeys. Play games in their family area. Very very great experience I’ll never forget.

Jaja is an incredibly knowledgeable guide, who expertly lead us through the jungles of Khao Sok. He has a very sharp eye that can spot almost anything, even in the dark. On top of that, he is an incredibly good cook. Our evening in the National Park has been a highlight on our trip to Thailand.
