It’s a bit of a distance from Chiang Mai old town, but the environment and vibe is worth the trip!! The chief lady learned cooking from France and studied in US, with professional cooking skills and fluent English. A very enjoyable food journey and nice chats as well. Will definitely visit again~

The guide I had was great, friendly, always smiling. I had a solo tour so I could see the local palms. He knew the out of the way spots to check them out. A good lunch and generous time for a swim.

It was great to see the elephants in their natural environment. Our guide was friendly and helpful, explaining to us where the elephants came from and their relationship with their mahoots. Do note that the hike can be a little difficult at times, but the guide will help you, so no worries! The bamboo stick also helped loads! Overall, enjoyed our experience! :)

Oh my gosh what an incredible place 🥹
I spent 3 nights at BEES, and it was beyond anything I could have ever imagined. The experience is something that I will cherish for the rest of my life. The sanctuary really is a sanctuary. I had the most wholesome 4 days with some of the most beautiful people, we were welcomed into their community with open arms. The overwhelming feeling of love is something I don't think I have ever felt before.
The people, the dogs (& cats), the food, the community, and of course the three beautiful elephants, all of whom have been rescued. The whole experience was just out of this world 😭🥹

It was the perfect way to end my travels 💗💗💗

A Truly Unforgettable Experience at Khao Sok – Floating Bungalows & Exceptional Service!
We’ve just returned from a private two-day excursion through Khao Sok National Park, and it was truly one of the most magical and memorable experiences we’ve ever had. From start to finish, everything was seamlessly arranged and exceeded our expectations in every possible way.
The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the floating bungalows—an absolute dream. Waking up to the peaceful stillness of the lake, surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and lush jungle, felt like something out of a movie. The accommodations were comfortable and clean, and the experience of literally staying on the water is something we will never forget.
What made the trip even more incredible was the level of care, service, and hospitality we received. The staff were constantly attentive, bringing a huge variety of delicious foods and buffets to us. We were honestly blown away by the quality and quantity—every meal felt like a feast!
A very special mention must go to our driver and our wonderful guide, Kob. Kob was an absolute star—so friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the park and its wildlife. Her English was fantastic, and she went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and looked after. She took so many beautiful photos for us throughout the trip, capturing moments we’ll treasure forever. Both she and our driver made us feel completely relaxed and in safe hands from the moment we were picked up.
It’s rare to find an experience where every detail is so thoughtfully executed, and it’s clear the team behind this truly cares about their guests. If you are considering a trip to Khao Sok, this is the way to do it—you will be treated like family and come away with memories that will last a lifetime.
Huge thank you to everyone involved—especially Kob—for making this so special. We’re incredibly grateful and cannot recommend it enough!

We loved our stay at Khao Sok Riverside Cottages. The staff was very friendly, the food was fresh and delicious, and the rooms were clean. We went river tubing the day we arrived with Nook, who we shared conversation with as we floated down the river. We saw otters, monkeys, and snakes from the river. The staff was aware of our lake trip and wrote out a timeline for us for all of our upcoming activities. They also arranged reasonably priced private transfers to and from the cottages and Phuket for us. This place is so serene, relaxing, and beautiful. Definitely a highlight of our travels in Thailand so far!

After a 40-minute trip by longtail boat, we arrived at the beautiful Praiwan Raft House, located in a dead-end bay near the wildlife sanctuary. We stayed in a basic hut room with a wonderful bed, the bathroom and toilet were shared. Upon arrival, we were served a warm lunch, and afterwards, we took the boat for a whole 2 minutes toward the sanctuary.
Once there, we hiked for about 30 minutes to reach the bamboo raft that took us to the Coral Cave. Each of us received a flashlight, and we explored the dead-end cave. We saw beautiful stalactites and stalagmites, as well as a few bats. After the visit, we made our way back the same route over water and land to our raft house.
Before dinner, we had about 2 hours of free time. We took the kayak and were lucky enough to encounter a family of five elephants… all to ourselves. A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!!!
After dinner, everyone lingered at the small restaurant and we played some games. The night started off a bit rough as a storm suddenly passed over our bay. It was all hands on deck for the staff, but the guests hardly noticed anything apart from the choppy water.
At 6:30 in the morning, we went on a one-hour boat safari to spot wildlife. Unfortunately, we didn’t see much apart from two hornbills, a monitor lizard, and a few birds of prey. After that, we had breakfast, and it was slowly time to pack up and head back to the pier.
