Your adventure begins with a comfortable hotel pick-up in the Khao Lak area. At around 8:00 AM, your friendly driver and local guide will greet you in front of your hotel lobby in a modern, air-conditioned minibus.

Pick-up times may vary slightly depending on your hotel's location, but don’t worry — we’ll confirm your exact pick-up time during the booking process to ensure a smooth and timely start to your Khao Sok Day Trip.

Before we reach Khao Sok National Park, we’ll stop at the vibrant Takua Pa morning market — a wonderful opportunity to experience authentic Thai culture up close.

These traditional markets are a vital part of the local Thai economy, where farmers and food vendors come together to sell everything from fresh produce and local meats to seafood and ready-to-eat Thai dishes.

While the West is just catching on to the farm-to-table trend, this has always been the way Thai people shop — supporting local producers and enjoying the freshest ingredients available.

Take your time to browse the colorful stalls, try a snack if something tempts your tastebuds, and soak in the bustling energy of a true Thai morning market before we continue our journey to the rainforests of Khao Sok.

On the way to Khao Sok National Park, we’ll pause for a moment at a stunning panoramic viewpoint — the perfect spot to soak in the beauty of Southern Thailand’s landscape.

From here, you'll enjoy breathtaking views of a vast green valley, blanketed in lush tropical vegetation and framed by dramatic limestone mountains.

It’s a great chance to stretch your legs, snap a few photos of the jungle scenery, and truly appreciate the natural wonder that awaits you in Khao Sok.

Get ready for an unforgettable encounter with Asia’s largest land animals — the magnificent Asian elephants!

We’ll start by giving you some of their favorite treats, helping you break the ice and bond with these gentle giants in a fun and respectful way. Once you’ve made friends, it’s time for the highlight of the day: an elephant bathing session in the river!

These playful creatures absolutely love to splash, roll, and play in the water — and you're invited to join in! So don’t forget your swimwear because you’re in for a wet and wild adventure. It’s a heartwarming experience that delights kids and adults alike, and it’s guaranteed to bring out your inner child.

Prefer to stay dry? No problem! You can stand on the riverbank and capture amazing photos — just watch out for a surprise splash from an elephant’s trunk! We highly recommend bringing a waterproof phone or camera case if you plan to get up close to the action.

This unique and ethical activity is a true highlight of the Khao Sok Day Trip and one you’ll remember for a lifetime.

Get ready to enjoy a truly special dining experience at the Rock and Treehouse Resort — a Khao Lak Land Discovery exclusive and a definite highlight of your day!

Forget everything you know about average tour meals. At this charming jungle restaurant, our skilled chefs will prepare a mouthwatering Thai lunch using fresh, local ingredients that are sure to tease your tastebuds. Many guests say it’s the best food they’ve had on any tour in the province — and we couldn’t agree more!

Set against the stunning backdrop of a towering limestone cliff, the Rock and Treehouse Resort is more than just a place to eat. It’s a peaceful jungle oasis with beautiful surroundings and a relaxing atmosphere that lets you unwind and soak in the views.

Whether you're savoring a rich curry, a fragrant stir-fry, or a fresh tropical dessert, lunch here is not just a meal — it’s a full culinary experience that adds flavor and charm to your Khao Sok adventure.

Climb aboard your canoe on the Sok River and let your local paddle guide lead you on a peaceful journey through the heart of Khao Sok’s lush rainforest. This scenic river cruise is one of the most relaxing and visually rewarding ways to explore the region — and you don’t even have to paddle!

As you glide downstream, you’ll stop for a moment to enjoy freshly brewed coffee served in an eco-friendly wild bamboo cup — a small but meaningful touch that reflects our commitment to sustainable tourism.

Along the way, you’ll be surrounded by dramatic limestone karst mountains, towering high above the jungle canopy, and thick tropical vegetation that clings to the riverbanks. These rugged landscapes are often nearly impassable by foot, making canoeing the ideal way to navigate this wild and beautiful region.

With your hands free, you can focus on soaking in the views or snapping perfect photographs of the towering cliffs, exotic plants, and wildlife along the river’s edge. Many of Khao Sok’s creatures — from birds and monkeys to reptiles and rare insects — are experts in camouflage, so spotting them takes a trained eye.

Luckily, your experienced local guide knows the river and its hidden wildlife like the back of their hand. They’ll help you spot what others might miss, making this canoe ride not only relaxing but also educational and deeply connected to the natural world.

Whether you're a nature lover, photography enthusiast, or simply seeking a moment of calm surrounded by beauty, this canoe trip is a true highlight of your Khao Sok Day Trip.

While you might catch glimpses of playful primates during lunch or while canoeing down the Sok River, nothing compares to getting up close and personal with the resident monkeys at Wat Tam Panturat Temple.

This peaceful Buddhist temple, nestled in the forested hills of Khao Sok, is a favorite refuge for curious macaques who roam freely through the grounds. The calm and spiritual atmosphere naturally attracts wildlife, making it a special place to observe monkey behavior in a respectful, natural setting.

These lively monkeys are fun to watch — but be aware, they’re also known to be cheeky little collectors! Items like necklaces, bracelets, and anything shiny might catch their eye. For your safety (and your belongings!), we highly recommend leaving valuables in the minivan before entering the temple grounds.

Visiting Wat Tam Panturat Temple is a wonderful way to enjoy wildlife spotting, cultural immersion, and great photo opportunities — all wrapped into one stop on your unforgettable Khao Sok Day Trip.

After a full day of adventure, wildlife, and unforgettable experiences, your driver and guide will bring you back to your hotel in the Khao Lak area at approximately 5:00 PM.

Please make sure to take all your personal belongings with you when exiting the minibus, including any cameras, phones, or souvenirs you may have collected throughout the day.

As we say goodbye, we sincerely thank you for joining us on this incredible journey through Khao Sok National Park. It’s been our pleasure to share this experience with you, and we truly hope to welcome you again soon for another amazing Thailand adventure!
