Khao Sok National Park is a wonderful spot for a nature, wildlife, and scenery lover. The national park is close to Krabi and Phuket, making it easily accessible by taxi, bus, or minivan. It features a breathtaking lake surrounded by huge limestone cliffs and blue waters, accessible by the longtail boat.
One of the most recommended activities is spending the night in the floating bungalow; nothing beats waking up to the sight of sunrise on water. Additionally, the presence of wildlife makes this park great too; you get to see monkeys, hornbills, and even elephants on trekking adventures.
You can visit on a day trip, take a package tour for a 2-3 day trip, or stay in Khlong Sok village for more versatility. The duration of stay should be 2-3 days for visits around the lake, caves, hill trekking, and night safaris. The cost of entry is reasonable, and tours can be organized from Phuket, Krabi, Surat Thani, and Khao Lak.
On the whole, Khao Sok has adventure, nature, and peaceful vistas, which make this region ideal for travelers looking for a different experience in Thailand.
