Wildlife Wonder in Khao Sok National Park

Welcome to Khao Sok - a thriving pocket of ancient forest that’s wild and wondrous. Canoe through its jade-green waters or wander through its dense canopies as hidden gibbons call overhead and limestone karsts rise like temples through the mist. Whether you choose to stay in a luxury safari tent, on a floating lake-side pontoon, or in a treehouse overlooking the river, you’ll find yourself surrounded by natural beauty in Khao Sok National Park.
Everything we do is custom made by real Asia experts...

Step into the unexpected.

Cradled between Thailand’s east and west coasts, Khao Sok National Park offers exceptional biodiversity and some of the country’s most engaging nature experiences. From jungle hikes to lake safaris, treehouse stays to floating camps, this is an adventure that rewards every step with unexpected beauty and connection.

Jump into a kayak to explore the river, or hike on foot through the lush rainforest. Enjoy a massage under the dappled light of the canopy, and smell the spices sizzle as you take a Thai cookery class. Hop aboard a traditional longboat to traverse Cheow Lan Lake, and explore the caves hidden in the limestone towers. The adventure is endless…

Something around every corner

“We haven’t even reached the elephants yet and we’re breathless!”

Life on the Sok River

Float slowly through the heart of the forest, with birds overhead and macaques peering from the branches. Whether by canoe or kayak, the river offers a tranquil perspective on the park’s thriving life.

Elephant Hills

Meet the retired elephants who now call this peaceful sanctuary home. No riding, no shows – just ethical, close-up experiences guided by their mahouts. Watch them bathe in mud pools, learn their stories, and witness care that puts welfare first.

Sleeping in the jungle

Accommodation here is far from ordinary. Choose a luxurious safari tent near the elephants, a rustic treehouse above the river, or a floating villa on Cheow Lan Lake. All have been designed with eco-consciousness in mind, using solar and wind power where possible.

Stay close to the park at Anurak Community Lodge, with well-appointed bungalows and thoughtful design. Or try Panvaree the Greenery, whose lakefront bungalows offer panoramic views of misty peaks.

Highly Recommend Selective Asia

Have been to Asia with Selective Asia twice now, and we can't fault them. We had the most amazing holiday staying in 6 different locations throughout Thailand. Selective Asia did us proud by giving us a well thought out itinerary. The accommodations were first class. Our private guide called James was very knowledgable and made our holiday very memorable.

Personalised and spot on journey

Personalised service all the way up to departure and then throughout via on the ground help and advice in country as well. Ideal.

Another fantastic trip with Selective Asia

We’ve been on 5 trips to the Far East with Selective Asia over 17 years with the same consultant (Lionel). They take the time to tailor the holiday individually with invaluable local knowledge and once again got it spot on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Our trip to Japan was outstanding

We had had several discussions with Andrew, our agent, before booking the trip and he incorporated all the activities we were interested in plus recommending other activities that he knew we would be interested in. Much of our trip was self guided and SA provide an excellent app to help with this. It was intuitive, easy to use and had the option to be able to contact someone locally if necessary. The whole trip was seamless and managed at a thoroughly professional yet friendly level. I would travel with this company again (we have travelled with them before.)

Heather, Japan

Fantastic holiday

Using Selective Asia took all the stress out of booking and organising the trip ourselves as we were travelling around the country. Selective Asia were really responsive to our needs and created our perfect honeymoon holiday. They were available whenever we had questions or needed some help. I would highly recommend using their service!

Alice, Sri Lanka

Great planning and organisation, coupled with an amazing experience with the local guide and driver. Everything about the holiday was magical.
