Khao Sok Treehouse 2 Day Discovery- Experience Stunning Khao Sok Natural

On the way to Khao Sok National Park, we make a short stop at the Takua Pa morning market. Markets such as this one are an integral part of the Thai economy, allowing local producers a place to sell the fruits of their labour. The adoption of the farm-to-table concept in the West may be trending these days, but it has always been the primary way that Thai people have shopped for fresh produce and fast food. You will have time to browse the stalls selling fresh produce, meats, seafood, and prepared dishes before we move on to Khao Sok.

During the drive to Khao Sok, we'll make a short stop to take in the view at a panoramic viewpoint overlooking an expansive valley, blanketed with lush green vegetation, amongst rugged limestone mountains.

Ready for the introduction of a lifetime? It’s time to meet Asia’s largest land animals! We supply you with some of their favourite treats to feed them to break the ice. Then, after you become acquainted with the elephants, get ready to join them in the river for the ultimate elephant pool party! These gentle giants adore splashing around and having a blast in the water, so be sure to pack your swim clothes because you are in for a wet and wild time! A highlight of the itinerary for kids of all ages and sure to bring out the inner child in everyone! If you decide to stand on the river bank to take a few memorable photos, be cautious not to accidentally get sprayed by an elephant's trunk. It's a good idea to bring a waterproof case for your phone or camera if you want to get this close to the action!

A Khao Lak Land Discovery exclusive and an experience in itself, we bring you to dine and stay at the Rock and Treehouse Resort. Our highly skilled chefs will prepare a mouthwatering Thai lunch, sure to tease your tastebuds! With a towering limestone cliff as the backdrop to this resort oasis, the Rock and Treehouse offers more than just great food and amenities!

Embark on a relaxing and scenic canoe ride down the Sok River with the help of your local paddle guide. During the ride, you will take a break midway to enjoy a coffee in an eco-friendly wild bamboo cup. The Khao Sok region is home to giant monolithic limestone cliffs that rise above the jungle canopy and create a breathtaking sight. However, the rugged terrain and dense rainforest make it difficult to explore on land. Canoeing down the Sok River is the perfect way to navigate this mountainous region. Without the need to paddle yourself, you can keep your hands free to take perfect photographs of the stunning landscape and elusive creatures that inhabit it. With knowledge of the local habitat and its inhabitants, your paddle guide can help you spot creatures you might otherwise miss.

While you may see a few species of primates while eating lunch or canoeing down the Sok River, you can get up close and personal with the resident monkeys at the Wat Tam Panturat Temple. The peaceful environment of the temple often attracts animals seeking refuge, including curious monkeys. However, monkeys are known to be collectors and may take your valuables, such as necklaces and bracelets. For this reason, we highly recommend leaving any such items in the minivan to avoid losing them to the monkey's collection.

After an exciting day, we bring you back to the Rock and Treehouse Resort for a delicious dinner. Sit back and relax, enjoy a refreshing cocktail from the bar, and mingle with guests while you dine in style.

Bathe your senses in the serene ambiance, relax in the lagoon style pool, or have a few drinks from the fully stocked bar before heading to bed. The choice is yours!

When you’re ready to turn in for the night, a well appointed air-conditioned room is provided for you. Couples on Bookings.com have rated their stay at the Rock and Treehouse Resort a 9 out of 10. Sleep well, and don’t forget to charge your batteries and electronic devices, you will not want to miss any photos of the breathtaking scenery when visiting Cheow Lan Lake tomorrow! If you wish to upgrade your room at an additional charge, check availability when you book and we will do our best to furnish you the room you desire. The accommodation included is based on double occupancy. If you wish to stay in a room alone, there is a single occupancy surcharge of 1,200฿.

Start your day on the right foot with a delicious and satisfying breakfast that will give you all the energy you need to tackle the day’s activities! Previous guests at the Rock and Treehouse rate the breakfast highly and we hope you will enjoy it too.

After arriving at the pier near the Rajjaprabha Dam, you will board a traditional Thai Longtail boat to begin a sightseeing cruise across Cheow Lan Lake. As you’re captain and guide navigate the way to your accommodation for the night, make sure you have your camera ready, there are thousands of panoramic photo opportunities awaiting to be captured that are only possible by boat! Soon, you will take note that the boats carrying tourists on day trips begin to fade into the distance behind you. Your destination is much further across the lake, near protected wildlife sanctuaries, where wild elephants and big cats still roam. During the day’s cruise around the lake, your captain will stop at a few key locations where you will disembark with your guide to explore on foot. There are countless photo opportunities coming your way, so make sure you have your camera ready!

Your guide will lead you on a one-hour trek through the 160 million-year-old rainforest and will assist you in spotting some of the more elusive creatures you might otherwise miss. While serendipitous encounters with wildlife may be the highlight of the hike, a keen eye will help you spot strange and exotic plants, including the largest flower in the world, the Rafflesia arnoldii. Spectacular landscapes and a vast array of flora and fauna combine to make the Khao Sok a paradise for nature lovers and photographers!

One of the stops your boat captain will make will allow you to step back in time as you walk through speleothems that took thousands of years to form. Stalactites hang precariously from the cave ceiling, and stalagmites rise from the floor, continuously growing in size. Today, the snapshot of the interior has never looked the same, nor will it ever again. The interior shape of this cave is constantly evolving and will continue doing so long after we are gone.

After the morning activities, you will likely have worked up an appetite. Your captain will make way to a floating raft house restaurant where a delicious traditional Thai lunch awaits. After lunch, there is time to jump in for a refreshing swim in vivacious waters or sit back, relax, and take in the view. Please inform us when you book if you have any special dietary restrictions or requirements. We will do our best to accommodate them.

As the tour of the lake comes to an end, your captain will make way to the pier, where your minibus driver will be waiting. Please be sure to take all of your belongings off the boat when you disembark. Washroom facilities are available at the pier, so if you need to use them before the ride back to your hotel, now is the time.

At around 6 pm, your driver and guide will return you to the hotel whence you came. From everyone at Khao Lak Land Discovery, we’d like to thank you for joining us. We’d love to see you again soon.
