Your ultimate Khao Sok Travel Guide – Overnight tour to the lake

Thailand highlight: your ultimate khao sok travel guide including the overnight tour to the lake.

• Last Modified: June 2, 2024

Khao Sok National Park was the highlight of my Thailand itinerary. Before travelling to Thailand, Khao Sok National Park was high on my list, especially the overnight tour towards Cheow Larn Lake. Located in southern Thailand, on the mainland, this beautiful destination offers a lush scenery. Next to the beautiful lake, for which you will probably visit Khao Sok National Park, the town is also surprisingly nice to stay. In this Khao Sok Travel Guide, I’ll explain everything you want to know about your stay and overnight tour. 

Check out my 3-week Thailand itinerary here.

How to get to Khao Sok?

From koh tao, koh phangan or koh samui to khao sok:.

Fortunately, travelling from the islands on the east coast of Thailand to Khao Sok is relatively easy. Multiple boats are departing towards Surat Thani, the main connection on the mainland. I took the 7:00 am speedboat in the morning from Koh Tao , which also stops in Koh Phangan and Koh Samui. With this boat, I arrived in Khao Sok at 12:30 pm. The boat to Surat Thani takes between 3 hours (Koh Tao) and 1,5 hours (Koh Samui). It is possible to book your bus combined with your boat ticket at Lomprayah. Busses will wait for you upon arrival of the ferry and you will be directed to the right bus. You can book tickets at many tour offices on the islands, or pre-book your ticket online on 12go.asia .

From Pai , Chiang Mai or Bangkok to Khao Sok:

When you are travelling from or to either northern Thailand or Bangkok, the easiest option is to fly to Surat Thani Airport. From the airport, it is only a 1.5-hour drive to Khao Sok. Unfortunately, it is not possible to pre-book the minivan online on 12go.asia. However, it is possible to heat to the stand of Phantip Travel at the airport upon arrival (you need to arrive before 16:15). A bus ticket costs 300 baht including drop-off at your hotel. In high season this service might not be running, which leaves you to take a taxi (there is a taxi service available at the airport).

From Koh Phi Phi, Phuket or Krabi to Khao Sok:

From Koh Phi Phi, you can book a boat + bus combination to Khao Sok. The boat is leaving at 9 am and there is only one daily connection including the bus. Therefore, make sure to book your tickets in advance, especially in high season. From both Phuket and Krabi, busses/vans are running multiple times a day, lasting around 4 hours.

How many days in Khao Sok?

Most tourists visit Khao Sok because of the overnight lake tour. Most tours start in the main town, where you can find accommodation and plenty of restaurants and bars. Because many tours leave in the morning, around 9 am, it is best to spend the night before in Khao Sok. Next to that, if you arrive in the afternoon, you also have the chance to do another afternoon or evening tour in the National Park. However, I think a 2-day/1-night tour of the lake is sufficient. 

Nevertheless, if you want to wind down and spend an additional day remotely, it is possible to book a 3-night/2-day tour. Also, it is possible to continue your journey to the next destination after the tour, as you arrive between 13:30 and 14:30 back at your accommodation. However, if you have the time, I advise spending another day in Khao Sok and continuing your journey the next morning to not stress about making your transfers.

Overnight Cheow Larn Lake Tour from Khao Sok

|| where to book your overnight lake tour.

You can book the overnight lake tour at almost every accommodation in Khao Sok. Most accommodations don’t require prior booking, so you can book the tour upon arrival at your hotel or hostel. When I asked my hotel whether I could book in advance, they mentioned that only booking at the accommodation was possible. Therefore, no stress, it is always possible to join a tour. 

Nevertheless, reach out in advance, i f there is a specific tour you want to join . For example, the Smiley tour is popular with the younger crowd. Bear in mind, that all tours are advertised the same way, however, it depends on the accommodation what type of hut you will be staying in and what the exact tour looks like. At the end of this Khao Sok Travel Guide, I’ve also placed an overview of the best places to stay in Khao Sok.

Also, in this Khao Sok Travel Guide, I’ve described my experiences with the tour. This tour was booked with Tree Tops River Huts and executed by Khao Sok Happy Tour (the tour office is next to the bus stop). 

|| What does the overnight lake tour look like?

As mentioned, almost all overnight lake tours that you can book are pretty similar. The itinerary looks as follows:

Day 1: – Pick up around 09:00 – Drive towards the long tail boat departure point. The drive will be approximately 1 hour. On the way, you stop at a small village with a local market and 7/11 to stock up on snacks and drinks. Also, at most accommodations, you can buy some crisps, sodas and beer – Buy the national park and pier ticket and board the long-tail boat together with your guide – Arrival at the bungalows where you will stay the night and lunch – Free time to swim or canoe  – Afternoon safari where you will board the long-tail boat again. The activity depends on the weather and the tour, but on most occasions, you will visit one of the caves or do a short hike and visit a waterfall.  – Time to relax and have dinner at the bungalow, potentially followed by some drinks with your fellow travellers

Day 2:  – Morning safari at 6:00 or 6:30 to try to find some animals. Get up early so you can also watch the beautiful sunset on the lake!  – Breakfast at the bungalow  – Some more time to relax, swim or canoe and pack your bags – Long-tail boat back to the ‘harbour’  – Drive back to Khao Sok with some lunch on the way and a quick stop at the viewpoint

|| What to expect of the bungalows on the lake

If you book the standard tour (most of the time this costs 2500 baht), you will sleep in basic bungalows. However, there are also more luxury experiences available by booking the luxury tour option or booking a night at one of the overnight bungalows that can be booked through, for example, Booking.com.

However, for me, part of the charm of visiting the lake was staying in a more remote place for a night. I had a small bungalow, with two mattresses on the ground and a little ‘balcony’. There is no toilet or shower in the bungalow. However, on both sides of the accommodation, there is a shared toilet including a shower. As we were staying on the lake for 1 night only, most visitors chose to shower back in their accommodation in Khao Sok. Also, at the shared area lunch and dinner are served and snacks and drinks can be bought. 

Be aware that the bungalows are floating on the water, and therefore you have to be careful walking around.

|| What to pack for the overnight lake tour from Khao Sok

A full Khao Sok Travel Guide should also give some directions on what to bring during your tour. As you will board a long-tail board and sleep in a small bungalow, they expect you to only bring a day-pack. If you book your tour at your accommodation in Khao Sok, they are happy to store your luggage. If you book directly with a tour operator, you can leave your luggage there. 

In my day pack I brought the following:  – Camera  – E-reader – (Head)torch – Bikini – Sunscreen – Set of clean underwear – Rain jacket – Microfiber towel – Long legging – Slippers / Sneakers – Extra pair of clothing – Mosquito spray – Basic toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, make-up wipes, contact lens kit,  – Dry bag/rain cover for your daypack

It is possible to charge your phone in the main area at the beginning of the evening. In that case, don’t forget your phone charger. Alternatively, you can take a power bank or limit the use of your phone ;). There is no wifi at the bungalows and not all providers have coverage at the lake. 

|| Why visit Khao Sok and the Cheow Larn Lake?

The pictures in this Khao Sok Travel Guide already show all reasons why you can’t miss out on the Khao Sok Lake tour, when in Thailand. The lake and its bamboo bungalows are a unique experience and a great way to escape the busy cities. Next to that, it is a jungle, so you can spot different types of animals during your boat safari, such as gibbons and elephants. Lastly, it is a unique experience to wake up on a quiet lake while watching the impressive sunrise.

|| Costs of the Overnight Khao Sok Lake Tour

Most tour providers offer an all-inclusive fee for the 2-days/1-night Cheow Larn Lake Khao Sok overnight lake tour. When researching the tour, I felt that everyone offered the tour for the same price of 2500 baht (around €75). Next to that, there is a single surcharge of  1200 baht , however, when I booked the tour no one asked and I was lucky enough to be placed in a bungalow by myself. 

Next to the tour costs, you’ll have to pay an entrance fee to the park as well as a small fee to be able to use the pier with the long-tail boat. The additional costs at the entry of the park are 240 baht per person. Lastly, you have to pay for drinks (besides) water yourself. At our lake resort, a Chang beer cost 80 baht. 

The Best Bars & Restaurants in Khao Sok

I have to admit that I was positively surprised when arriving in Khao Sok (village). Firstly, I had no clue what to expect, except for knowing the main town equals one large street. Nevertheless, in my mind, it was less modern than it turned out to be. Next to some decent Thai restaurants, there are fun bars with happy hour and a couple of great coffee bars. Therefore, I also recommend staying in Khao Sok village before and after your tour, instead of travelling to for example Surat Thani.

|| The Best Restaurants in Khao Sok

1. Black Stone Cafe – A backpacker favourite and a great place for a drink, a relaxed afternoon and some dinner. 

2. Pawn’s restaurant – One of the best Thai restaurants in Khao Sok and popular with travellers. Their curries are great.

3. Ciao Pizzeria – If you want to enjoy some non-Thai food, Ciao Pizzaria is a great place to go. They also have some nets to chill next to the restaurant. I was positively surprised by the quality of the pizza.

4. Low Budget Youth Restaurant  – Unfortunately the cook was sick and the restaurant was closed during my time in Khao Sok. Nevertheless, this restaurant receives high ratings and is also popular with backpackers.

|| The best (coffee) bars in Khao Sok

1. Black Stone Cafe  – I have to start with Black Stone Cafe again. They have a happy hour with cocktails and it is the perfect place to spend your afternoon with a book or have a drink in the evening.

2. Hungcup Slow Bar  – This coffee bar is located next to the famous Coco Hostel and offers good coffee and breakfast.

3. Little Wild Cafe Khao Sok  – The same coffee bar chain as Hungcup but this coffee bar is located at the end of the main street. The waffles are amazing.

4. Chill out bar  – Also this bar was closed during my time in Khao Sok, however, with so many good reviews it is worth giving a try.

5. The Heaven Bar  – An extensive cocktail and happy hour list, 2 floors and the opportunity to relax on the bean bags next to the water. 

6. Jumanji Bar  – This bar is a late-night bar in Khao Sok and mainly gets active in the high season. If you want to have some late-night drinks, this is the best place to try.

The best hotels in Khao Sok

Tree tops river huts - value for money.

During my stay in Khao Sok, I stayed at Tree Tops River Huts . Especially their riverside bungalows are a real treat as you are near the national park. At dawn, you see plenty of monkeys running around your bungalow. Also, they have a swimming pool and breakfast is included. The price of a bungalow starts at around €30 a night.

Khao Sok Palmview Resort - Local vibe

One of the best-rated accommodations in Khao Sok is the Khao Sok Palmview Resort. This is a charming and peaceful resort, with all the facilities you might need during your stay and very helpful staff. The price of a cottage starts from €17 a night.

Malulee Khao Sok Resort - Great tours

If you have a little bit more to spend, the Malulee Khao Sok Resort is a great option. I especially have heard great stories on the tour that was booked through the Malulee Resort. There is an on-site swimming pool available and bungalows start from €70 a night.

Tanoshi Glamping - Unique Experience

If you are looking for a special experience that is slightly off the beaten track, then a night in Tanoshi Glamping is exactly what you are looking for. You will sleep in a glamping tent while having the opportunity to relax with great views and some tents also offer a luxury bath. A special experience you can get starting from €90 a night.

Coco Hostel - Budget

The most popular hostel for backpackers and budget travellers in Khao Sok is Coco Hostel . All rooms have a balcony and the beds have curtains for more privacy. Also, the bakery next to the hostel is great. A bed in a dorm room starts from €8.

Privacy Overview

Thai National Parks

Khao sok national park, private tour | 2-days/1-night private tour in cheow lan lake.

The boat prices in Cheow Lan Lake will increase from November onwards. The price difference will be 1,000 Baht for a 2D/1N tour and with 1,500 Baht for a 3D/2N tour. This price difference will add to the total price of the all displayed per person prices further below.

Situated between Khao Sok National Park and Khlong Saeng Wildlife Sanctuary, Cheow Lan Lake has one of the most beautiful scenic views in Thailand.

The lake deserves more than one night of stay, but if you only can stay one night, you will still be able to enjoy a few activities with this tour. If you truly want to enjoy more of the lake, then a 3D/2N tour is recommended.

With the 2-days/1-night tour in Cheow Lan Lake you will be able to see scenic rock formations, hike to a viewpoint, visit a cave, hike in the jungle, kayak, swim and drive around for wildlife watching. The tour includes a stay in a raft house of your choice, a private guide and a private boat with driver. No others will share the guide or the boat with you during the tour.

Raft house options

500 rai floating resort (high-end).

500 Rai Floating Resrt is one of the best raft houses in the lake, with 15 houses/units of various sizes. It is located at the far end of the lake, between Phupha Waree and Krai Son raft houses, with one of the best views in the lake. It is the only option in the lake providing electricity 24 hours/day (deluxe option with only 12 h/day a/c powered, others 24 h/day).

Following are the room types;

Copyright 500 Rai

Panvaree The Greenery Floating Resort (high-end)

The raft house is located in the entrance of Khlong Long tributary. Compared to other optiong in the lake, Panvaree The Greenery Raft House has fewer cabins/houses which makes it a relatively quiet place even when the place is fully booked, ideal for people avoiding crowds. Quality wise it is no doubt one of the best and most popular raft houses in the lake. Electricity is provided from 5pm until 9am.

The price for the rooms varies depending on week-day, week-end day or holidays.

Phupha Waree Raft House

Phupha Waree Raft House is set back in a private alcove just inside Klong Pey, compared to most basic raft houses in the lake it is considered a bit better option. The rooms are equipped with 2 joined queen size beds, a private bathroom, a/c, balcony and can accommodate 2-4 people. While the smaller rooms will be booked for up to 3 people, the larger rooms will be booked for 4 people. Electricity is provided from 6pm until 6-7am.

Sai Chon Raft House

Sai Chon Raft House is a cheaper alternative. While being a very basic raft house, it is still a better option when compared to most other basic options in the lake mostly because the rooms have ensuite private bathroom. The raft house is located in Khlong Long tributary of the lake, not too far from the pier. The quality is somewhere between bamboo and average options. While the smaller rooms have 1 king size bed, the larger rooms have 2 king size beds. The rooms are equipped with fan only, electricity is provided from around 6pm until 6-7am.

Unlike the other raft houses, kayaking is not free at Sai Chon Raft House, rental will cost 200 Baht per kayak. The kayak fee is optional, not included in our listed prices for Sai Chon Raft House.

Krai Son Raft House (basic bamboo)

Krai Son is perched at the entrance to Klong Yee at the remote end of the lake. It is equipped with traditional style bamboo bungalows (2 pax, double beds), no fan, with shared bathroom facilities on land next to the raft house. It is the only raft house on the lake with a view of sunrise and sunset. Local attractions include a viewpoint hike which overlooks the entire lake, and it is close by to the Khlong Saeng wildlife sanctuary not too far from Phupha Waree.

We do not recommend Krai Son to families with kids.

Krai Son Raft House doesn't have any kayaks.

We had a fantastic private tour in the Khao Sok. Partly due to the good guidance and care of Bee (and the gentleman from the longtail boat)! He told us a lot about nature and animals. I would recommend anyone to visit Khao Sok.

Amazing experience! I highly recommend to anyone looking to unwind and explore some beautiful jungle in an ethical manner

We had Bee as our guide and he was truly amazing. Super funny, candid, and knowledgeable about the park. This tour (2 Day 1 night at phupha waree) was perfect for my partner and I (couple in our mid 20s) but I can see if you do not like camping or the outdoors or if you have back problems this would probably not be for you. The whole process was very streamlined and organized very well. Nothing to complain about on our end.

We had the best time! We wish we’d done 2 nights. I’ve done nothing like this so it was a new experience and one I’ll recommend to anyone that comes to Thailand. Beautiful scenery and activities and Hnum was an incredible guide, always full of energy, funny and amazing English. Couldn't have asked for anything better

The beauty of the park is without question a stunning display of nature at her finest. The hut comfortable enough for one night and the food average watered down Thai food.

I was sorely disappointed to realize that I paid four times as much as everyone else who had the exact same tour and overnight stay. I didn’t realize I could have booked one from a hostel for 2500 THB and have good company the whole time. Instead I paid $300 US dollars for the opportunity to sit in a boat alone, dine alone, and hike alone. It was very isolating. My guide skipped the morning “trek” aka walk because there are so many people so we will go later and do a better one without so many people. I trusted him. Then I ended up wasting the entire day sitting around or swimming while he wanted to leave to “trek at 5pm and I said, enough - I am bored and you said we would trek and it will be dark at 6. So he said ok and we went at 3:30 on an 30’min walk in the woods. Not a trek which I expected a decent hour or two hike into the woods. My guide said, if you trust me I’ll take you out early to see the animals…ok so got up early —- with everyone else as that is the program for everyone! I felt duped. It soured my experience as I felt isolated and misled. When I booked this, I went though the park system who I thought I could trust. I said I wanted to do an overnight and asked if there was room since trip advisor only had trips from Krabi. They said yes but there was no explanation that I was paying to do the tour privately vs a group at a serious 4x premium over other options. I wasn’t told about those options. I could have done the day tour instead of overnight with friends who went the same day for even less cost and at least had the company of friends. I think the park service needs to tell the public what the options are or this is an expensive and lonely excursion.

> Tour operator's response

Hi Kirsten!

You have clearly missed the point this is a private tour, it is clearly stated in this page above this is a private tour. If you rather have booked a shared one to share with up to 12-18 people in one boat, that is really yourself to blame. There is not much we can help with the loneliness if you preferred to have others to join you, because this is a private tour.

I am not sure why you would book the very first tour you came across and then later complain about the price. It is like you go to one shop and buy an iPhone, and then the next to find out the next shop is selling a much cheaper Android variation (the cheapest one in the market), and complain to the first shop about the price difference.

Then also, you are a solo traveller. No matter if you are a solo or a couple, a guide and a boat will be at your service for 2 days, then the price won't be too different from the total price for 2 people. You can't compare a private tour price to a group tour.

Khao Sok Lake is surrounded by steep mountains and cliffs, there are no extensively long trails and longer hikes are not possible.

This is a national park, not a zoo. One can be unlucky with impressive animals sightings like elephants, gaurs etc. And the chances get smaller with a 2D/1N tour vs a 3D/2N tour.

A wonderful one night stay at the 500 Rai raft hotel. Service, food and staff all fantastic. The only complaint is we visited when the weather was very very hot and the AC could not cope with that amount of heat. It took a long time to cool down the room - however, once it was cool, it was fine. Our guide(Hnum) was wonderful - fun, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Highly recommend this tour.

By: Philip Van Hout | posted Thu 28 Mar, 2024 | Phupha Waree

The 2 day/1 night tour was a really nice experience. The guide, Pla, was very friendly and attentfull. She brought some sticky rice sticks in bamboo and some big beers for us to enjoy. Her English was not that very good, but she could express herself so we could understand what she was saying. We had bad luck with spotting and seeing wild animals except for some small monkeys. The beds in the Phupha Waree were springy and the sheets were itchy. Therefore 4/5 stars.

Overnight Lake Trip

Spend­ing a night on Che­ow Lan Lake is a must do when vis­it­ing Khao Sok Nation­al Park. Dis­cov­er this breath­tak­ing ancient land­scape by boat, trek through the dense vir­gin jun­gle, take a dip in the turquoise waters and much more.

This trip will take you out to our favourite float­ing raft house, where you will have time to relax and explore the sur­round­ing envi­ron­ment. Your guide will then take you on an exhil­a­rat­ing hike to a local water­fall, cave, view­point or along a nature trail (depend­ing on the sea­son, weath­er and your per­son­al pref­er­ence). In the evening you will head back to the raft house for a deli­cious din­ner and to enjoy the relax­ing atmos­phere of this tran­quil hideaway.

It’s up ear­ly in the morn­ing for a lake safari. The ear­ly hours offer the best chances to spot some wildlife. Then it’s back to the float­ing lake house for break­fast and to col­lect your belong­ings before head­ing out to the most scenic spots of the lake to take some pic­tures before return­ing to the pier for lunch. After lunch, you will make your way back to Mon­key Mansion.

Please note that stan­dard group tours are (most of the time) orga­nized and man­aged by third-par­ty tour oper­a­tors. we can thus not choose the tour guide, nor can we con­trol the exact tour pro­gram and group size. fur­ther­more, please be aware that the lake accom­mo­da­tion for stan­dard group tours is very basic and rus­tic. due to high demand, float­ing bun­ga­lows are typ­i­cal­ly ful­ly booked quick­ly. we there­fore strong­ly rec­om­mend you book this tour well in advance to ensure availability.

Smileys is amazing! Isolating you’re self from wifi and the craziness of the cities and towns is an awesome experience! The rooms are small and rugged but add a awesome touch the the whole suclusion vibe! I love it! Awesome for backpackers and families looking for some time to decompress!​  Connor

If you’re looking to get away and relax, swim in beautiful fresh water, kayak and explore and wake up to the sound of nature, this is the place to go. By far one of my favorite places to stay in Thailand. The staff are always ready to help you and chat with a smile on their face and just want you to enjoy the experience as much as they do.​  Jasmine

Our overnight trip to Smiley lake house was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Thailand. During the afternoon hike through jungle to caves we experienced a tropical thunderstorm and torrential rain, however the guides did a fantastic job to keep moods high and led us to amazing walk/swim through a cave. There was a good mix of activities and time to swim and relax. The highlight of the experience was the enthusiastic, funny and high spirited staff.  Gregor

Khao Sok National Park, 2-day, 1-night tour

Khao Sok National Park in southern Thailand consists of dense, untouched jungle and a massive man-made lake.  Towering over the lake are impressive forested cliffs and a number of bare treetops also stick out of the water.  Visitors to Khao Sok National Park most commonly take part in a 2-day and 1-night tour from nearby Khlong Sok town. Part of the tour is one of the most unique experiences in Thailand: staying overnight in floating accommodation on the lake! 

These are my tips and experiences for an amazing trip to beautiful Khao Sok, Thailand when I embarked on the 2-day, 1-night tour of the national park as well. 

Starting at Khlong Sok village - How to get to Khao Sok National Park, Thailand

Khlong Sok is a small village in Surat Thani providence and the most popular starting point for the 2-day, 1 night tour to Khao Sok National Park . 

Khlong Sok can easily be reached from other tourist locations within Thailand, with many tourist hubs in southern Thailand like Krabi, Phuket, Surat Thani, and even Bangkok offering direct transport by bus or van to Khlong Sok/Khao Sok National Park.

Khlong Sok is a peaceful village surrounded by nature and just bordering Khao Sok National Park. In fact, at one edge of the village is a remote entrance to the park which as a number of walking trails leading from it.  Most of the  accommodation here can help tourists secure tickets for the 2-day, 1-night tour of Khao Sok National Park or other tour options as well.

Where to stay in Khlong Sok

Here are a number of incredible options for places to stay near Khao Sok National Park! All located in or around Khlong Sok village in Surat Thani providence, these hostels and hotels put you right at the starting point to Khao Sok National Park tours. 

Budget Accommodation Options :

• Coco Khao Sok Hostel – a popular hostel known for its friendly staff, a travel sustainable property with tour desk and restaurant attached.
• Chillax Khaosok Hostel – this sleek, modern hostel will provide a comfortable night’s sleep before heading on a Khao Sok tour. Beautiful limestone cliff views from the terrace too! 
• Khao Sok River & Jungle Resort  – offers romantic cabin accommodations with balconies and river views.

Khao Sok National Park 2-day, 1-night tour option

In Khlong Sok I booked the  2-day, 1-night tour from the tour desk at my hostel, for  2400 baht (about $72 USD). Visitors have to pay an additional 300 baht ($9) for the entry to the national park while on the tour.

The 2-day, 1-night tour I embarked on included breakfast, a boat ride to Cheow Lan lake, lunch, a jungle and cave hike, and dinner the first day. You spend a night on the lake  on floating bungalow accommodation . The next day, the tour includes a sunrise boat safari, breakfast, a boat tour with more caving, and lunch before getting dropped off again in Khlong Sok around 3pm.

Day 1 - Floating bungalows, lake and cave tour

First thing in the morning I was greeted with a wonderful breakfast at the hostel, and given a rain poncho by the Khao Sok tour operator in case of rain. I was then picked up by a minivan that went to a number of other accommodations around town until it was at max capacity.

The first stop on the tour was a local market partway to Khao Sok National Park. This wasn’t explained to us as being part of the itinerary, but the driver stopped here to pick up fresh fruits that we ended up having for dinner. It gave us a chance to buy some snacks for the road, and anything we may have forgotten to pack for the trip. 

We were then dropped off at the entrance to Khao Sok National park, at a port for Thai longboats. Here we paid our national park entrance fee, got our tickets, then boarded the longboards and set off on the lake. The geological cliff formations surrounding us were incredible. The mountains and limestone cliffs stick out so drastically from the deep blue lake, it looks like they were just dropped there.

After an hour on the boat, we reached our floating bungalow accommodation in Khao Sok National Park! Two huge rows of identical bungalows were connected in the middle by a large common area, and everything was floating on the water. The tour guide assigned us four-bed or two-bed bungalows, and we were given some time to unpack and unwind. 

After lunch we went back on the longboats for the jungle and cave trek portion of the tour. We were told to wear swimsuits because in the cave there would be some portions where we need to swim. Gulp.

The hike through the jungle at Khao Sok National Park was beautiful and there were many sections where the trail crossed a river. I was glad to be wearing my Chacos (sandals with a hiking boot sole), and I recommend wearing waterproof shoes for this tour as well. 

Right before the entrance to the cave, the guide told us to leave our bags and clothes we want to keep dry around a designated tree, and that anyone who is nervous about dark, small spaces should sit this one out. We were then given head lamps, although there were only enough for about 2/3 of the participants. Tip: Bring your own head lamp!!

We descended into the cave, some people barefoot, and followed a little river into the darkness.

At first the water was ankle deep. Gradually the light from the entrance of the cave faded away, and the water got up to my knees and started moving faster. 

It was exhilarating taking each step in the dark, not knowing how deep the water is beneath you or how stable your footing would be. Even pointing the headlamp down at my feet, it was impossible to tell how far down I could drop. I was holding on to the rocks around me for dear life! People were alternating between screaming and laughing as they continually lost their footing with the gush of the river.

Occasionally the guide would point something out in the cave – big spider-cricket bugs that were hiding between the rocks, or small bats that were flying in circles above us.

Towards the end of the cave was when the river trail got insane. The guide led us through a small lagoon, where I took a step forward and suddenly there was no footing below me. I doggie-paddled five seconds and reached the other end where I saw the people climb up out of the water. Luckily the rocks are easy to grab onto, to keep your head above water until you can hoist yourself up to shallower waters.

The next portion of the cave was a steep staircase wide enough only for one person. I had to grab on to a rope on one side to keep my balance as the river cascaded past my legs. I almost took a serious tumble here when I slipped on a rock below. The only thing that kept me from creating a domino effect with the others down the waterfall was that I was holding on to the rope.

I do not know how it was possible for 50+ people to go through this dangerous cave-river in almost complete darkness, without one person twisting their ankle or otherwise injuring themselves. In the end, we all made it!

After existing the cave and grabbing our belongings, we took the same jungle trail back to the longboat. The driver took us a scenic way over the lake back to the overwater bungalows.

We had a bit more down time to swim or take kayaks out onto the lake or relax in the common area before the buffet dinner was served. The chefs made a vegetarian and a meat version of a number of different Thai curries and fried rice as well. They brought around some fresh caught fish that they had grilled, and put one on each table. For dessert there was the fruit from the market!

In the evening some people were buying and drinking beers (they even had buckets of alcohol available… because Thailand). Since the next morning there would be a sunrise longboat safari, most people went to bed early. 

Day 2 - A boat safari, lake ride, and exploring a dry cave

As the sun was coming up on the next morning of the 2-day, 1-night Khao Sok National Park tour, even before breakfast, we embarked on the longboats onto the lake. The morning wind on the boat was COLD, and there was a mist floating above the surface of the lake.

This longboat tour had a wildlife spotter sitting at the front of the boat with a paddle, looking around alertly at the trees and over the surface of the water. He pointed out to us some massive toucans, two different species of monkeys, and some other large birds. At one point he pointed to the trees and yelled “Lady Gaga! Lady Gaga!” Turns out he was referring to a family of monkeys who had a circle design on their face.

We had breakfast back at the overwater bungalows, then we packed up our bags to head back to the mainland.

On the way back the tour continued to another cave. This one was a small ‘dry’ cave with stalagmites and stalactites, bats, and a pool of water with some elusive cave fish in it. 

For one last stop on the way back to the longboat port, we passed by a famous geological structure of three limestone cliffs sticking straight out of the water. Known as the “three sisters”, the boat circled around them for a bit so everyone could take pictures.

We went back in the minivan then were dropped off at a small viewpoint for lunch. The guides passed out little pack lunches for all of us that had fried noodles in it, and they gave us some pineapples as well. We had about 45 minutes to wander around the rest area where there were great views of the lake and a Buddhist temple at the top of a small hill.

After this it was a straight drive back to town!

I had a 4:30pm pickup for an overnight bus to Bangkok, so I was glad that we made it back to Khlong Sok town around 2pm, earlier than planned.

Overall, I thought the tour was a great value. Although it is on the expensive side for a budget traveler, I would never have had the same experience if I decided to just hike around Khao Sok National Park on my own.

Since it was so different from other Thailand activities like island-hopping and exploring cities, splurging on a tour like this was a nice change. For anyone visiting southern Thailand and who wants to spend some adventurous, detoxing time in nature, I highly recommend this 2-day, 1-night tour to Khao Sok National Park !

Khao Sok national Park Tours – Information

Most people journeying to Khao Sok are drawn by the exciting activities and the stunning natural environment. Khao Sok lake tours are high on the list and often take the form of a 2 day tour. This is in order to enjoy a night on the lake.

Some things to note when searching for a Khao Sok Tour

How long should you spend in khao sok.

We are often asked this. In reality it depends on how much of a nature, outdoor and active person you are. Khao Sok is a rugged and quite wild place and, whilst the resort is very comfortable, things are not quite the same out in the jungle or on the lake.

Many people like to spend a comfortable night at Riverside Cottages before embarking on a Khao Sok tour. There are lake tours that are just for the day but most people opt for a minimum 2 day tour often with an overnight stay to enjoy the lake. If nature and hiking is more your thing then one of the jungle tours will be more suitable.

Things to do around the village

In fact there are increasingly more activities being offered as the local Khao Sok villagers realize that many travelers want to do more than just scratch the surface of the places they visit. this is your chance to get to know a bit more about the locals and Thailand culture . You will find many activities from Thai and jungle cooking to learning Batik printing and trips along the Sok River. Visit a local farm and get to know more about the Asian elephant by visiting the Khao Sok elephant retirement park . This is not the usual tourist experience. You will get close to these magnificent creatures and really get to understand what they are all about.

Many people get the spelling wrong for Khao Sok. The usual errors are Kaho Sok, Kaoh Sok and Ko Sok or Kho Sok. These last ones can be put down to the fact that many people are also searching for the islands and Koh Sok or Ko Sok would mean the island of Sok in Thai. Khao Sok is not an island. In fact Khao is the Thai word for mountain. The mountains of Sok therefore makes much more sense. Kaho Sok and Koah Sok are easy typos to make. For best results type Khao Sok Tours, Khao Sok national park tours, Khao Sok lake tours, Khao Sok jungle tour etc.

Many who booked a Khao Sok 2 day tour wished that they had stayed longer. One option is to take 2 tours with a comfortable stay at Riverside in between. You can then use some more time to get to know the locals and just relax by the river.

Families traveling with children

While Khao Sok is an adventurer’s playground, it is also a paradise for kids and families wanting to get closer to nature! We are often asked if Khao Sok is appropriate for children. The answer is yes – just use your best judgment, and seek advice when needed. The Rainforest Adventure package is popular with families, as is the Khao Sok Delight.
