Day 1: Discovering Khao Sok village

The trip

Arrival in Khao Sok by your own means (transfers on request).

From 2pm, settle into your room, either a bungalow or a treehouse, and explore the surroundings. We strongly recommend visiting the accommodation's organic farm, and exploring the banks of the Sok river and its three hiking trails, 2.4 km long in total, as you wish.

Then take part in one of the following activities: canoeing down the Klong Sok river with a local guide (departure at 3pm and return about 1.5 hours later); or a Thai or oil massage, available from 2pm to 8pm, lasting one hour.

At 6pm, meet at the restaurant for a delicious dinner of Thai or international dishes. Vegetarian and vegan options are available.

After dinner, set off on a night safari in Khao Sok National Park, with many opportunities to spot nocturnal wildlife along the way. Departure at 7pm and return about 1.5 to 2 hours later. The rest of the evening is free to spend on the balcony of your accommodation or in the "jungle bar".

Day 2: Hiking, discovering the lake and wildlife

Have an early breakfast, check out and take your bags for the night, leaving large luggage at reception.

At around 8am, set off by minivan on a one-hour scenic drive to immerse yourself in the captivating beauty of the rainforest. Explore a little-known part of Khao Sok National Park, with cave crossings and trails.

Lunch in a local restaurant, then continue to the Cheow Lan lake pier, where you board a local longtail boat to cruise through the breathtaking scenery of the lake. Admire the majestic white limestone cliffs, remains of ancient coral beds dating from the time when the region was under water.

Arrive at a floating complex, settle in and enjoy a peaceful swim or relax while admiring the beauty of the surrounding limestone cliffs.

At around 4pm, enjoy a boat safari along the shores to spot wildlife along the way. Soak up the atmosphere of the sunset, then enjoy a delicious dinner.

Night in a floating bungalow on the lake.

Day 3: Discovering the lake and hiking in the primary forest

Wake up to the morning mist dancing around the towering limestone cliffs and set off on a morning safari, which offers the best chances of spotting the unique wildlife of Khao Sok National Park.

After breakfast, check out of your room.

Take a kayak to explore the lake for 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes, alone or in a group. Return to the floating house, freshen up, then head back to the Cheow Lan lake pier.

On arrival, you will have lunch in a local restaurant before continuing your journey to your next destination. The estimated end time of the trip is 1pm at the local restaurant.
