What people are saying about Khao Sok National Park

Excellent tour, highly recommend! We were only traveling with two couples, we were well looked after and our guide told many interesting details about nature and culture. In the jungle we could see monkeys, spiders and snakes. Lunch was great. The following kayak tour was great because we were almost all to ourselves and could enjoy the breathtaking view of the rainforest in peace. Then we went to a lookout point. Just great, super nice, funny and great provider!

Oat and Ding were fabulous. We had an amazing day! The market was most interesting. Oat bought some mango and rose apple for us to try. The elephant sanctuary was so much fun. Feeding, mudding, bathing, walking. Then off to the restaurant where we made Tom Yum soup and ate enough for a week! We felt full and sleepy for our bamboo raft ride. The coffee from bamboo cups woke us up. Overall a perfect day

The excursion was very good. The guide "Nain" was great and told us many things about Thailand. He took great photos and videos of us at every opportunity. He responded to our wishes and was also very friendly and personable. I would do a tour with him again anytime. As there were no other travelers we had a private tour at no extra charge.

Great experience. Our guides made sure we maximized the experience and helped take great pics to keep the memories forever.

Was one of the best days on vacation! We can only recommend the tour to everyone :)
