In addition to the lush evergreen forest and tropical rainforest, water also features prominently in Khao Sok National Park. The beautiful Cheow Larn Lake, with its floating raft houses, is located at the heart of the park. If you want to spend the night in nature, you can find floating accommodation on Khao Sok Lake. You can also book canoe safaris to admire the mangrove swamps in all their glory.

Khao Sok has more to offer beyond its stunning landscape. The park’s flora and fauna, including majestic native elephants and the rare Rafflesia flower, will astound you.

For the more adventurous, a 7 km hike to Ton Kloi Waterfall is an option for those who want to enjoy the lush forest and jungle creatures off the beaten track. During the monsoon season, you can visit Wing Hin Waterfall. Bring your swimsuits for a bath in the natural pools of Bang Leap Nam Waterfall and Wang Yao (around 3.3 km after you pass Bang Hua Raed Waterfall).
