Where to book in Khao Sok: our two picks

In Khao Sok you choose between the jungle and the lake. Our exclusive pick floats on Cheow Lan Lake; our accessible pick is a tree-house resort at the park entrance.

By Kylian Dev

  • One independent address
  • One mid-range option on Trip.com
  • Weak points written down

Our short list

  • 500 Rai Floating Resort — Cheow Lan Lake, inside Khao Sok National Park. The independent address we would book for something with character.
  • Khao Sok Tree House Resort — Khlong Sok, Phanom, Surat Thani, by Khao Sok National Park. The easier, mid-range choice.

Best season: December to April is the driest; the park stays open all year.
