Good to know

Before you go.

What does the 3-day Khao Sok tour include? +

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.

Where do you stay during the 3-day tour? +

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.

How long is the tour and how far in advance should I book? +

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.

What should I pack? +

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.

Is the tour suitable for children and non-swimmers? +

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.

Is the treehouse stay included in the 3-day Khao Sok tour? +

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.

What is the day-by-day itinerary for the 3-day Khao Sok tour? +

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).

How does the 3-day tour differ from the 2-day Cheow Lan Lake tour? +

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.

What is the cancellation policy? +

Cancellations made 7 days or more before departure receive a full refund. Cancellations made between 7 days and 72 hours before departure receive a 50% refund. Within 72 hours of departure, the booking is non-refundable.

L’activité était super, nous avons apprécié l’excursion. Nous avons vu des tortues, des dauphins des poissons. Cependant, nous avons attendu très longtemps au checking le temps que tous les cars arrivent. Le lieu est très préservé et le parc national est très bien entretenu.

Es war ein traumhafter Ausflug. Unsere Aris hat sich wundervoll um uns gekümmert und thailändische Tür geöffnet, die sicher verschlossen geblieben wären, wenn sie nicht Thai gewesen wäre. Sie hat uns viel Wissenswertes über Kaoh Sok , deren Menschen und der Natur erzählt... Wildnis zum anfassen. Wir haben uns jederzeit sicher und gut aufgehoben gefühlt... Mit Aris machen wir sicher wieder einen Ausflug... Danke Danke Danke...

Wir haben die 2-tägige Tour in den Khao Sok Nationalpark mit Übernachtung im Baumhaus gebucht. Von der pünktlichen Abholung im Hotel Laguna Khao Lak bis zur Rückkehr dorthin - alles war super. Vor allem der erste Tag war voll gespickt mit tollen Erlebnissen. Vom Elefant-Conservation-Centre (kein Elefantenreiten, sondern baden und füttern mit sichtbar entspannen Dickhäutern) über die Kanutour auf dem Sok River oder die Übernachtung im Rock & Treehouse Resort im Dschungel - alles unvergessliche Momente für uns. Der zweite Tag auf dem Khao Sok Stausee war nicht mehr ganz so spektakulär wie der erste Tag, aber mit Tropfsteinhöhle und ca 1-stündigem Dschungle-Walk (leider keine Tiere gesehen, aber tolle Flora) auch erlebnisreich. Nicht zu vergessen die kleinen Dinge wie Viewpoints an der Strecke, Tempelbesuch, Tropfsteinhöhle, Essen und Trinken im Rock & Treehouse und auf dem Stausee …. u.v.m. Khao Lak Land Discovery hat nen guten Ruf und uns diesen absolut bestätigt. Besonderen Dank unserem deutschsprachigen Guide Heiko - einen der sympathischsten den wir auf unseren vielen Reisen bisher hatten - und unserem very good Driver (Name leider vergessen). Eine sehr entspannte und erlebnisreiche Tour für uns, die wir sehr genossen haben. Das nächste Mal nehmen wir die 3 Tage, die lt Guide Heiko noch spektakulärer sein soll.

Wunderschön!

Ein wunderschönes Ausflug, den ich jedem nur empfehlen kann! Traumhafte Strände, unwirklich blaues Meer, und tolle Schnorchelstops mit unzähligen bunten Fischen und auch einer Schildkröte. Da lohnt sich die lange Bootsfahrt definitiv! Wir waren jedoch in einer ziemlich großen Gruppe von fast 30 Leuten, die auch über z. B. Getyourguide gebucht hatten. Es hat dem Erlebnis aber keinen Abbruch getan! Die Verpflegung war jederzeit super! Snacks und Getränke gab's auf dem Boot, zusätzlich zum leckeren Mittagessen. Sonnencreme nicht vergessen!

Erlebnis Tour Elefanten baden

Vielen Dank für die wunderschöne Tour🥰 Die Kanutour im kleinen Amazonas durch die Mangroven war Abenteuerlich die Flossführer zeigten uns in freier Natur lebenden Schlangen und Frösche. Man würde ausreichend mit Trinkwasser versorgt und unser Reiseguide Daniel füllte uns mit vielen Informationen. Das Gänsehaut Erlebnis war das Elefanten baden. Der erste Kontakt mit den doch sanftmütig Dickhäutern begann mit einer Fütterung, Bananen und Ananas. Danach wurden die Elefanten in Badebecken geführt, mit kleinen Bürsten gingen wir dann mit ins Becken, direkt zu den Elefanten. Die Körperliche Berührung war Atemberaubend. Unser Daniel erklärte ausführlich die Haltung im Camp und wie die Elefanten geschützt werden. Anschließend ging es im Camp zum Mittagessen essen, total lecker. Unsere Empfehlung!!! Lieben Gruß Marcus & Jutta
