Mee was the best guide ever! He calmly allowed us to have the real immersion in the jungle at night, without rushing into things. We could hear magical sounds of the nature and see many different animals( tarantula, scorpion, spiders, monkeys, lucciolas , suricato, monkeys and snakes). Mee also helped us take the best pictures and videos when we were too afraid to be near the big spiders. We also looked at the stars, and Mee pointed out the different names! Life changing experience, highly recommended with Mee and his team.

Booked: Khao Sok Night Safari with a Jungle Expert Guide

We had an amazing time on the floating bungalows on the lake. The staff were accommodating and attentive. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it! The hut was cosy and clean. The real highlight was seeing the elephants on the early morning safari trip. We would highly recommend!

Booked: 3D2N Best of Khao Sok | Enjoy a Farmstay + Floating Bunglow Stay

This was such a fun trip, a highlight from our three months travelling. We both felt so welcome at the farmstay - the family who run the place are lovely and warm - and we really enjoyed the cooking class. It was such a peaceful place to stay, and our transfer to the second part of the trip in Khao Sok National Park in the floating bungalow was very smooth. Would really recommend this experience to anyone!
