Khao Sok: Where the Jungle Meets the Lake

One of the world's oldest rainforests, Khao Sok is a place of almost mythological beauty. Ancient limestone towers rise from emerald water, gibbons call at dawn, and floating raft houses offer one of Thailand's most extraordinary overnight experiences.

Khao Sok Insider Tips

Raft House Overnights

Sleeping on Cheow Lan Lake in a traditional raft house is one of Thailand's great overnight adventures. We book exclusive floating bungalows with private decks over still, mirror-flat water.

Gibbon Dawn Chorus

At 6am the white-handed gibbons begin their haunting call across the canopy, an unmistakable, primal sound. Your private guide positions you perfectly to witness this without disturbing the troop.

Sunrise Kayaking

Paddle in misty silence between 400-metre limestone towers as dawn breaks across the lake. Suitable for all ages with a guide and an experience that stays with you long after you leave.

A Note on Khao Sok Timing

Unlike Thailand's beach destinations, Khao Sok is accessible year-round, the wet season (May to October) makes the jungle even more lush and dramatic, with dramatically reduced crowds. We'll advise on the best timing for your trip. This is commonly paired with Phuket or Koh Samui as a 2 to 3 night inland adventure.
