Wildlife Wonder in Khao Sok National Park
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.
For wild luxury
500 Rai’s overwater suites are surrounded by towering cliffs, with direct lake access from your deck. At Elephant Hills’ Rainforest Camp, float in comfort and enjoy en-suite tents powered sustainably.
For comfort and culture
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.
For full immersion
Our Jungle House is nestled deep in the forest, with treehouses and simple cabins perfect for intrepid travellers. With no air-con, nature is your lullaby – and your morning call.
