Khao Sok from Khao Lak, a small-group day hike and bamboo raft ride on the Sok River, Thai lunch, and rainforest viewpoint.
“Ron was the best Guide – he knew so much about the area and how to find the animals. Since we were a small group, he managed to avoid the masses by making us go faster or off trail when necessary. It was a great experience.”
2-day Cheow Lan tour from Phuket or Khao Lak with Nam Rad creek swim, sunset wildlife cruise, floating bungalow, caves, kayaking, meals.
“Amazing tour! The scenery was beautiful and we saw lots of animals - definitely a highlight of our Thailand trip. Peri (our guide) made it even better - so funny and thoughtful, and gave us lots of interesting info. Would recommend her tour to anyone coming to Thailand as she made the whole experience exceptional!! 10/10!”
Private Khao Sok day trek, waterfall swim, bamboo-fire jungle dinner, then a night safari to spot nocturnal wildlife.
“We had a wonderful evening with Chai! He showed us all sorts of animals and insects that we never would have found ourselves. The hike is slow and not strenuous. The dinner is AMAZING! Plenty of food too! Very good pace of evening and we are happy with all the wildlife we saw. My only suggestion for improvement was the language barrier. Chai did a great job of repeating when we had troubles understanding but as native English speakers it was a little challenging. Also the price (3000/person) was reflective of the whole evening for us but booking through hostels are half the price.”
Full-day Khao Lak to Khao Sok tour with jungle walk, Banghuarat Waterfall, Klongsok canoe ride, Monkey Temple, and Thai lunch in 8-10 hours.
“Great guides for both the hike and canoe trip. Khun Chun was wonderful guide. I think he knew every tree in the forest. He found us so many wildlife- snakes; toads; monkeys; birds; etc. that would have gone unnoticed. Transportation was phenomenal. She explained many different trees, plants and other items. Canoeing had breathtaking views. Very enjoyable and relaxing. Could have used a bit more water in River. But our guide did a fantastic job.”
Cheow Lan Lake day trip from Khao Lak: bamboo rafting, Rajjaprabha Dam long-tail boat, cave tour, floating-raft lunch, swim.
“Ran was the best guide ever! He made of the trip the most amazing of our vacations in Thailand. We asked to have him in the rest of our excursions and luckly we had him also the following day to James Bond island. Cheow Lan is a magical place in nature. Lunch was the best we had in quality, and the place (floating hotel in the lake) was stunning! Would repeat this trip again without a doubt, and recommend everyone to do it =)”
Private Khao Lak to Khao Sok day with ethical elephant sanctuary observation, Thai Som Tum cooking, bamboo rafting on the Sok River, waterfalls.
“Bond was the best tour guide. As a solo female traveller I felt safe and managed to whizz around all the stops quickly luckily avoiding the crowds. He told me interesting information about the local areas and helped ask questions.”
8-hour Khao Sok day trip from Khao Lak, with jungle canoeing, Thai treehouse buffet, and elephant camp bathing, feeding, and play.
“It was a lovely experience and our guide was super knowledgable. He was open to questions about the temple and the culture and was overall very kind. The food at the restaurant was lovely with them catering for my gluten intolerance. Lastly, the elephants was amazing and seeing how well they are treated was a lovely experience.”

Romantic Cheow Lan Lake sunset cruise with swimming, kayaking, and wine, plus calm long-tail boat time from Khao Lak.
“We had an absolutely amazing time with our guide Shane! It truly could not have been a better experience. When Shane learned that it was our last day in Thailand, he went out of his way to make sure that every part of our tour was perfect from providing fascinating details about Thailand during the drive, taking professional quality photographs, playing our favorite music, pointing out wildlife (wild elephants!!!) and feeding us well. We cannot recommend this tour, and our tour guide Shane, highly enough.”

From Khao Lak, tour Khao Sok and Cheow Lan Lake by long-tail boat, with raft-house lunch, kayaking, and wildlife spotting.
“Guide, transportation, food, snacks were all excellent. We’d booked the kayaking package with just a couple of hours at the lake house and an 80 minute wildlife safari. However the tour company paired us with another group who were doing hiking in the jungle, meaning we had to wait at the lake house until they returned before we could leave. We were there for 5 hours in the end, very bored and only did a cursory 30 minute cruise up the shoreline to look for wildlife- we didn’t see anything (which I know is out of their control but they didn’t exactly try very hard). The delays also turned an…”
