Giant trees and lakesOur exceptional Khao Sok National Park tour will take you deep into wildest Thailand, where you'll explore enchanting rainforests and swim in sparkling natural lakes. You'll stay overnight in quirky jungle bungalows and peaceful floating lakehouses. Your accommodation may be basic, but the setting is out of this world. You can even float downstream through the jungle in a giant rubber ring and take amazing wildlife-spotting walks through the rainforest.On Mondays and Fridays you can begin our Khao Sok National Park tour at Phuket airport instead. The only difference is you'll stay two nights in a jungle bungalow instead of a floating hut but it does make the trip more comfortable and you'll avoid the sleeper train to Surat Thani.

Day 1: Surat Thani – Floating raft houses After arriving at the railway station in Surat Thani, you'll be collected and taken to Lake Racha Praba where your Khao Sok National Park tour will really begin. You'll take a spellbinding boat trip over the still waters, surrounded by spectacular rock formations jutting vertically from the lake. Within a few hours, you'll arrive at your unique accommodation- floating raft houses. Each floating cabin has its own Canadian style canoe and a huge rubber tube. Once you've settled into your cabin, you'll can opt to be whisked off for a walk through dense jungle, past bamboo groves and beneath giant trees. You will get back in the afternoon ready for a plunge into the cool lake, or for a siesta on the veranda of your floating bungalow. The floating raft houses are simple, but all have a bed with mattress and mosquito nets are provided. The lake is your bath, and there is a shared toilet facility on the shore. |
