We had an unforgettable trip to Khao Sok National Park. The natural surroundings are indescribable. Our room was brand new (since December) and had everything we needed. Our private tour was perfectly planned from start to finish. Our guide was simply fantastic. We can highly recommend a trip to the national park to everyone.

Had a great time on this tour. The guides were knowledgeable and a lot of fun. Dinner was so good cooked on an open fire in bamboo. We saw so much stuff on the night safari too, snakes spiders, bats, scorpions… Recommend 👍

Staff were great and they work so hard. Plenty of food for lunch and dinner. Bungalow hut was lovely, cosy and great view of monkeys near our window. Kayaks available for use to explore the lake. The staff really go out their way to ensure you enjoy your time and you can tell they are really passionate about showing us the animals and nature. Great value. Only negative was that the tour size is quite big and I didn’t enjoy the breakfast all that much but the coffee and tea selection was perfect anyway.

This trip was exceptional. We were looked after by our personal guide from start to finish.
The bungalow was very comfortable and clean with beautiful views across the lake. It was great having our own kayaks. We had time to go out on the lake with it and spotted some monkeys .
The food was plentiful and excellent.
The 2 trips included were very good and risa our guide was very experienced in spotting the wildlife. Our boat captain was also very helpful and we managed to see gibbons,great hornbill and an elephant breaking and eating bamboo amongst the foliage of the forest.
Overall we cant recommend this experience enough,a real must do!

We had an amazing time of 2 nights at the raft house. Our tour guide Dom was honestly the best around & was so knowledgeable & caring about Khao Sok. The raft house was lovely & it was the perfect trip to end our trip to Thailand. The food was lovely & such generous portions. One of the most beautiful places in world - you cannot miss this in Thailand

Great value for money! At first we were a little apprehensive about the large group size but actually everything ran smoothly, we got our own cabin which we slept well in and even got to see some monkeys on the trek! Food was good and host was very knowledgeable about the surroundings
Bekah
We did the two days one night tour. Wow what an incredible experience, HIGHLY recommend choosing this company and staying for longer than we did if possible. The guys looking after us and showing us around the caves were absolutely top, one even put on entertainment during the evening with a fire show and the other took us on our boat safari in the morning helping us spot wild elephants, eagles and gibbons!! Throughout educating us on topics such as the importance of the national park and the building of the Dam. The food cooked for us was so delicious and there was plenty to go around, no one went hungry for sure! Such a good vibe throughout the whole experience and cannot recommend enough, 10/10.
