Even though most of the tourists visit Thailand between December and March, Khao Sok National Park is special all year around. The finest experience of river activities and waterfalls is during the “green season”, from May to October. Within this time, periods of wet and dry weather alternate. For dry and sunny hikes, trekking and flora & fauna exploration, people usually choose the period from November to April.
There are two main activity centers at the Khao Sok National Park: the town of Khao Sok and Cheow Lan Lake’s floating bungalows, 65 km to the east. Range of activities can be organized from the headquarters to suite any type of guest in the National Park- hiking, river activities, elephant treks or relaxation in the hot springs. In addition, Cheow Lan lake’s secrets can be explored on a full day trip or an overnight stay at the floating bungalows.
The remote surroundings of Khao Sok National Park are known to be outstanding for discovering wildlife. This jungle is home to the wild elephants, a number of rare bird species, 5 types of monkeys and gibbons. Our area is unique for having animals native to both the Malayan peninsula and the rest of Southeast Asia. To see the big animals, it is recommended to visit the park between February and May.
