A three-day Khao Sok discovery from Khao Lak — rainforest treks, Cheow Lan Lake and nights in floating bungalows deep inside the national park.
This Khao Sok National Park 3 day tour from Khao Lak takes you deep into Southern Thailand's most stunning rainforest — one of the oldest in the world. If you're looking for new experiences, breathtaking nature and a touch of adventure, Khao Sok is the perfect destination.
Experience a mix of jungle exploration, wildlife encounters and peaceful moments surrounded by limestone cliffs and emerald waters. Stay overnight in two unique Khao Sok accommodations: a cozy treehouse and a charming floating bungalow on Cheow Lan Lake. It's the ideal way to disconnect from the outside world and immerse yourself in pure nature.

Khao Sok National Park Treehouse & Floating Bungalow Experience Highlights
Before you book, read our guide on how to get to Khao Sok from Khao Lak — useful context on travel times, road conditions, and what to pack for a multi-day stay.
Planning your first visit? Our complete Khao Sok National Park visitor guide covers the park's wildlife, best time to visit, the difference between a day trip and an overnight stay, and practical tips for the lake.
Arriving from Phuket Airport or heading home after three days in the jungle, our private van covers the full Khao Lak–Phuket–Krabi corridor so your transfer fits around your flight time rather than the other way round. See our Khao Lak transfer options for multi-day itinerary pick-ups.
Exact timings flex with conditions and traffic — your guide sequences the stops to keep them calm rather than rushed. This is how the day usually runs.
Start your three-day adventure in a relaxed and comfortable manner: you will be picked up from your hotel at around 8 a.m. and meet your driver and tour guide.
In our air-conditioned minivan, your journey to Khao Sok National Park begins - accompanied by exciting information and insights into the culture, history and nature of Thailand.
The pick-up time may vary depending on the location of your hotel. We will inform you of any changes in good time.
After about an hour, you will reach the traditional morning market of Takua Pa - a typical local Thai market that is considered a meeting place for locals and an important part of the local economy.
Here you will have time to explore and browse - fresh vegetables, exotic fruits, meat and fish stalls await you.
Immerse yourself in the authentic market atmosphere and observe everyday life in Thailand up close.
On your onward journey, you will make a short stop at a viewpoint.
Enjoy the view over the forested region and take a few photos – or pause for a moment and let nature work its magic on you.
Get to know Thailand's national animal: the Asian elephant.
Your guide will be on hand with important tips and interesting facts so that you can encounter these impressive animals respectfully and safely. After getting to know the animals, you will have the opportunity to prepare food for the elephants, feed them and bathe with them.
A freshly prepared Thai lunch awaits you at the Rock & Treehouse Resort.
Fortify yourself for the next experiences and enjoy the atmosphere of this extraordinary accommodation.
After lunch, you will go on a relaxing and impressive canoe trip along the Sok River. While our experienced paddle guides steer the boat safely, you can enjoy the trip and let your gaze wander over the landscape.
Your hands are free to take unforgettable photos. Sleeping snakes, turtles or monkeys often make an appearance – so don't forget your camera!
Visit Wat Tam Panturat Temple, which is famous for the long-tailed macaques that live there.
During the canoe trip, you may have already seen some monkeys on the riverbank – now you have the opportunity to observe these animals in their natural environment, but always from a safe distance.
At the same time, you will gain insights into Thai culture.
Day 1 - Dinner at Rock & Treehouse Resort
After an eventful and exciting day, return to Rock & Treehouse Khao Sok for a delicious dinner.
Sit back and reflect on your experiences so far.
Relax with a refreshing drink and prepare for another day full of natural wonders.
Wake up to the sounds of the jungle and start your day relaxed with a delicious breakfast.
Upon arrival at the dam, a special highlight awaits you: a ride on a traditional Thai longtail boat across the emerald green Cheow Lan Lake. The tranquil waterscape and imposing rock formations offer unforgettable panoramas and ideal motifs for beautiful photos.
Day 2 - Check-in and lunch at the raft house
Check into your raft house and after a Thai lunch, you will have time to swim, canoe or relax and enjoy the beautiful panorama.
Are you looking forward to a nature adventure with impressive views?
Together with your guide, you will hike for around 40 minutes through the ancient rainforest and encounter its unique flora and fauna.
At the end of the trail, traditional bamboo rafts await you, taking you to the entrance of Pakarang Cave.
Motorized bamboo boats will take you to Pakarang Cave - a fascinating ‘coral cave’ with a special charm.
Inside, impressive geological formations await you – stalactites and stalagmites, some of which resemble coral.
End the evening in a relaxed atmosphere and enjoy your dinner on the raft house against a tropical backdrop.
Start the day with breakfast.
The morning is yours to enjoy: use the time to swim, go canoeing or simply relax.
After checking out, take the longtail boat to the pier. On the way, you will pass impressive limestone cliffs, including the ‘Three Brothers’ (Thai: Khao Sam
Kloe), often referred to as the Guilin of Thailand, the landmark of Cheow Lan Lake.
Head up high!
On the way back, you will stop at the Khao Thep Phitak suspension bridge.
Here you will experience the jungle from a completely different perspective - high up in the green canopy with a seemingly endless view of nature.
After about a 45-minute drive, you will reach a natural paradise in the middle of the rainforest: the Ban Nam Rad Lagoon.
Crystal clear, turquoise water invites you to swim and relax.
You can hire paddle boats and inflatable swimming rings on site.
After three eventful days, your driver and tour guide will take you back to your hotel at around 6 p.m.

Check dates & book →This three-day discovery tour includes return transfers from Khao Lak, an overnight stay in a treehouse at Rock & Treehouse Resort (Night 1), a longtail boat trip to Cheow Lan Lake and an overnight stay in floating raft-house bungalows (Night 2), guided jungle activities, wildlife spotting, a canoe trip on the Sok River, meals as per the itinerary, and national park entrance fees.
You stay in two very different settings. Night 1 is at Rock & Treehouse Resort — a rustic treehouse perched in the Khao Sok jungle canopy, ideal for hearing the forest come alive at dusk and spotting wildlife at dawn. Night 2 is in floating raft-house bungalows on Cheow Lan Lake, set against dramatic limestone cliffs. Both accommodations are simple and comfortable — the charm is the location, not the luxury.
It runs over three days and two nights. Because the lake raft houses have limited capacity, we recommend booking well in advance, especially in high season.
Pack light: swimwear, quick-dry clothes, insect repellent, reef-safe sunscreen, a light rain layer, sturdy sandals or trekking shoes, a torch, and any personal medication. A dry bag for electronics is recommended for the boat journeys.
Families are welcome and the experience is memorable for children. Some activities involve swimming and kayaking on the lake; life jackets are provided. Let us know your group's ages and swimming ability so we can tailor the activities.
Yes — the treehouse is a core part of this tour, not an optional add-on. On Night 1 you stay at Rock & Treehouse Resort, elevated in the Khao Sok jungle canopy. The forest setting is completely different from the lake: expect jungle sounds after dark, monkeys at dawn, and a real sense of being inside the rainforest. The treehouse plus the floating lake bungalow on Night 2 together make this tour the most complete Khao Sok experience KLLD offers.
Day 1: Pick-up from your Khao Lak hotel (~08:00), short stop at Takua Pa morning market, elephant encounter (bathing and feeding), lunch at Rock & Treehouse Resort, canoe trip on the Sok River, visit to Wat Tam Panturat Temple, dinner and overnight at the treehouse. Day 2: Jungle breakfast, morning drive to Ratchaprapa Dam, longtail boat across Cheow Lan Lake, check-in to floating bungalows, jungle hike to Pakarang Cave, dinner and overnight on the raft house. Day 3: Sunrise swim or canoe, longtail boat back to the pier (passing the Three Brothers limestone peaks), stop at Khao Thep Phitak suspension bridge, swimming stop at Ban Nam Rad Lagoon, return to Khao Lak hotel (~18:00).
The 2-day Cheow Lan Lake tour focuses entirely on the lake: you travel directly to Ratchaprapa Dam, stay one night in floating bungalows, and return the next day. The 3-day tour adds a full first day in the Khao Sok jungle — elephant encounter, Sok River canoe, and an overnight in a treehouse — before heading to the lake on Day 2. If you want the complete Khao Sok experience (forest canopy by night AND lake at dawn), choose the 3-day. If your time is limited and the lake bungalow is the priority, the 2-day is the right fit.
