Highlights of this tour.
Khao Sok National Park comprises 60,000 square kilometres (or about 140,000 acres) of spectacular limestone cliffs, rainforest, and bamboo jungle.
Located in the central mountainous spine of southern Thailand (view map), Khao Sok is home to a wide variety of animals, plants and birds. Elephants, tigers, tapirs, hornbills, Asiatic black bear and wild deer still exist in harmony with nature in this pristine natural wilderness.
The animals most often seen in the park include: gibbons, with their haunting mating call; long-tailed macaque and sleek black languor monkeys; wild boar and wild elephant. In addition, at certain times of the year, it is possible to view the giant Rafflesia flower, which is unique to the area and can grow up to 80cm in diameter.
Spend your nights in either a jungle canopy tree house at Khao Sok, and/or in a floating raft house at Chieow Laan Lake
Enjoy jungle trekking, canoeing and/or elephant trekking in one of the most pristine and stunning rainforest locations in the world.
All meals and National Park tickets included as part of the tour
This three day, two night package will leave you feeling relaxed and in complete harmony with nature.
Example of the itinerary.
Day 1: On arrival day, you'll be shown to your very own canopy tree house, with magnificent views of the surrounding rainforest.
In the afternoon after lunch, you have the choice of either a guided canoe trip on the Klong Sok River or an exhilarating elephant trek which follows a gently flowing jungle stream.
Day 2: Early the next morning, you'll depart and transfer by vehicle to Chieow Laan Lake. Here you'll board a long tail boat for a trip you'll remember for years to come.
On arrival at the lake's floating rafthouses, you can take a quick dip in the emerald green waters of Chieow Laan Lake before enjoying a scrumptious Thai lunch. Then it's off for a guided jungle walk and/or canoe trip - the choice is yours. Or maybe you'd prefer to just sit & soak up the atmosphere from the balcony of your very own floating raft house. In the evening you'll enjoy a selection of southern Thai specialty foods with just the stars & the sounds of nature as your backdrop.
(Note: There is also an option to return to the tree house accommodation in the evening instead of spending the night at the floating raft houses)
Day 3: Early in the morning, board your long tail boat or paddle a canoe in search of wildlife, before returning to the raft houses for a delicious breakfast. After a guided canoe trip, you'll then have time to relax or do some more sightseeing before lunch, a final swim and a sad goodbye to your temporary oasis.
The benefits you bring in taking this tour.
Our Khao Sok tours go into Khao Sok National Park and Chieow Laan Lake, giving our clients a chance to view first hand an ancient rainforest and some of the flora and fauna present within it.
We do not offer large group travel. This provides for more intimate and direct interaction between the traveler and the local guides and people in the communities we visit and avoids ‘over-running' the destinations we visit.
The accommodation we choose for our guests employ local people and our organisation utilises the services of operators who source their food and other equipment from local businesses.
Our English speaking guides are fully licensed and are from the local area; many having been born and raised in Khao Sok and Chieow Laan Lake.,
Our pre-trip document given to travelers outlines ways to reduce the negative impact on the environment, including reducing water usage and minimising damage to flora and fauna. Travelers have the opportunity to meet the park rangers who take care of the area and our guides inform travelers about the impact of poaching of wildlife and flora within the park, and how the park rangers attempt to minimise this type of activity.
