Begin your Khao Sok Two-Day Wildlife Safari with a smooth and comfortable hotel pick-up in Khao Lak. Your friendly driver and experienced guide will meet you at your hotel lobby at approximately 7:00 AM in a modern air-conditioned minivan.

The exact pick-up time depends on your hotel location and will be confirmed at the time of booking, so you can relax knowing everything is arranged. Sit back and enjoy the scenic 2-hour transfer to Cheow Lan Lake Pier, the starting point of your unforgettable wildlife adventure in Khao Sok National Park.

Your journey continues at the Rajjaprabha Dam Pier, where you’ll hop aboard a traditional Thai Longtail boat for a breathtaking sightseeing cruise across Cheow Lan Lake. As your captain and guide navigate through emerald waters flanked by towering limestone cliffs, keep your camera ready — this lake offers countless panoramic photo opportunities that can only be seen from the water.

Unlike typical day tours, you’ll continue deeper into the lake, far beyond where most tourists stop. Your overnight accommodation is nestled near protected wildlife sanctuaries, offering a rare chance to witness wild elephants, hornbills, and even elusive big cats in their natural habitat. It’s the start of a truly immersive Khao Sok wildlife adventure.

Once your Longtail boat cruise across Cheow Lan Lake comes to an end, you’ll arrive at your charming raft house accommodation — your base for the night amidst the jungle. Recharge your energy with a delicious traditional Thai lunch, freshly prepared and served with a view of the lake’s turquoise waters and limestone cliffs.

After lunch, enjoy some free time to relax, swim in the lake, or connect with fellow travelers. Whether you're lounging on the deck or cooling off in the water, it’s the perfect way to settle into the rhythm of nature.

Please note: electricity at the floating accommodation is powered by a generator and is only available during specific hours of the day. Make sure to recharge your devices while the power is on — and then switch off to fully soak in the serenity of your Khao Sok overnight lake safari.

In the late afternoon, once you've had time to relax and enjoy the surroundings, your captain and wildlife guide will take you on a tranquil sunset safari by Longtail boat. This is one of the best times to experience Khao Sok’s diverse wildlife, as many animals become more active in the cooler evening air.

With a bit of luck, you may spot wild elephants, gibbons, hornbills, or other exotic creatures as they emerge from the jungle to drink from the Cheow Lan Lake shoreline. As the sun dips below the limestone peaks, the warm golden hour light creates a magical atmosphere, ideal for photography and quiet observation.

As twilight fades and the sky turns a soft blue, you'll return to your floating accommodation to enjoy a delicious Thai dinner surrounded by the peaceful sounds of the jungle.

After your wildlife boat safari, return to your peaceful raft house accommodation where a warm and flavorful traditional Thai dinner awaits. Take your time enjoying the meal while soaking in the calm sounds of nature around Cheow Lan Lake.

The evening is yours to unwind. Whether you choose to chat with fellow travelers, read a book on the deck, or simply sit back and absorb the tranquil atmosphere, this is a time for true relaxation in nature.

A quick reminder: electricity is limited and powered by a generator that runs only during certain hours. Be sure to recharge your devices while power is available.

However, the lack of artificial light brings a rare treat — an unpolluted night sky. On clear evenings, you can admire a canopy of stars and even capture incredible shots of the cosmos over Khao Sok National Park. This quiet moment under the stars is often a highlight for guests seeking a deeper connection with nature.

Settle in for the night at your authentic bamboo hut accommodation, designed for travelers seeking an eco-friendly escape from the noise of mass tourism. Nestled on the water in the heart of Khao Sok National Park, these simple yet serene huts offer a unique opportunity to sleep in nature without distractions.

Though basic in comfort, each hut is equipped with a mattress and mosquito net, providing everything you need for a restful night surrounded by the sounds of the jungle. With no Wi-Fi or modern distractions, it’s the perfect setting to reconnect with nature and enjoy a slower pace of life.

As you drift off to sleep, let the peaceful symphony of rainforest wildlife lull you into deep rest. Be sure to turn in early — tomorrow’s sunrise safari and jungle trekking adventure will start bright and early!

Wake up to the sounds of gibbons calling and tropical birds chirping — nature’s own alarm clock in Khao Sok National Park. If the jungle hasn’t stirred you already, your experienced guide will, just in time for a magical morning on the water.

Set off on an early morning boat safari across the still waters of Cheow Lan Lake, the best time to spot diurnal wildlife as the jungle comes alive. This is your chance to see animals like hornbills, macaques, and possibly even wild elephants as they come down to the shore for their first drink of the day.

Photographers will especially love this hour — often called the Golden Hour or Magic Hour — when the soft, golden light adds warmth and depth to every image. The low contrast brings out rich natural colors and fine details, making it ideal for wildlife and landscape photography. No amount of post-editing can match the brilliance of this natural lighting.

This peaceful sunrise safari is not just a visual treat but an unforgettable way to feel connected with the untouched wilderness of southern Thailand.

After your peaceful sunrise wildlife safari, return to your floating accommodation to enjoy a hearty Thai breakfast. With views of Cheow Lan Lake and the surrounding limestone cliffs, this meal is the perfect way to refuel before your next adventure.

While you relax and enjoy your morning meal, don’t forget to recharge your batteries — both your devices and yourself. Electricity at the raft house is limited, so it’s a good time to power up your phone and camera for the exciting journey ahead.

Once breakfast wraps up, prepare to lace up your shoes and head deep into the ancient rainforest. A guided jungle trek awaits, bringing you closer to the unique flora and fauna that make Khao Sok National Park one of Thailand’s most celebrated destinations for nature lovers.

Get ready for an unforgettable journey into the heart of the ancient rainforest! Led by your experienced local guide, this jungle trek takes you through lush tropical forest, grassy clearings, and hidden trails in search of the park’s most elusive wildlife.

While longtail boat cruises along Cheow Lan Lake offer great opportunities to spot wild elephants, gaur, and other large animals from the water, trekking on foot provides a unique chance to discover the smaller species that thrive under the jungle canopy. Look out for playful gibbons swinging through the trees, Dusky Leaf Monkeys peeking from dense foliage, and perhaps even a shy civet cat crossing your path.

Khao Sok is also a haven for birdwatchers, with over 200 bird species living in the area — including nine species of hornbills, some of the most iconic birds in Southeast Asia. Don’t forget to keep your camera ready; the sights are not only memorable but often once-in-a-lifetime.

Beyond the wildlife, the jungle is home to extraordinary plant life. Marvel at strange carnivorous pitcher plants, delicate endemic orchids, and towering ancient trees as you make your way deeper into the untouched wilderness.

Your guide will carefully select the trekking route based on seasonal factors like lake water levels and recent rainfall, ensuring you experience the best possible trail conditions for a safe and rewarding adventure.

This trek is not just a walk — it’s a deep dive into one of Thailand’s most biodiverse ecosystems, perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and curious explorers alike.

As we begin our return journey across Cheow Lan Lake, sit back and enjoy one last ride through the breathtaking karst limestone landscape of Khao Sok National Park. This iconic scenery, shaped by millions of years of erosion, offers endless photo opportunities you won’t want to miss.

Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife sightings along the shoreline and soaring above in the sky. From hornbills and eagles to the occasional glimpse of wild elephants or gibbons, the journey back is still full of adventure and surprise.

Gliding across the calm emerald waters in a traditional Thai longtail boat, you’ll have time to reflect on the natural wonders you've encountered and capture those final stunning shots of towering cliffs, lush jungle, and mirror-like reflections on the lake.

This peaceful cruise marks the perfect end to your Khao Sok wildlife safari, combining relaxation with a last chance to witness the raw beauty of one of Thailand’s most magical landscapes.

After your morning jungle adventures and wildlife spotting, it's time to refuel with a delicious traditional Thai lunch in one of the most scenic locations in Khao Sok National Park. Your captain will guide the boat to a peaceful floating raft house restaurant on Cheow Lan Lake, where warm Thai hospitality and flavorful dishes await.

If conditions allow, and the raft houses are busy, your guide may opt for a more secluded experience — a picnic-style lunch along the lake’s shoreline. Surrounded by nature, this setting offers the perfect backdrop to unwind and enjoy your meal with panoramic limestone mountain views all around.

After lunch, feel free to jump in for a refreshing swim in the lake’s emerald waters, or simply relax, take in the stunning scenery, and reflect on your unforgettable day in the heart of Southern Thailand's rainforest.

Whether dining on the lake or by the shore, this mealtime break is one of the most serene and rejuvenating moments of your Khao Sok overnight lake tour.

Step into the ancient world of Khao Sok National Park as your longtail boat tour brings you to one of the area's fascinating limestone caves. These natural wonders have taken thousands of years to form, shaped slowly over time by water and mineral deposits.

Inside, you’ll walk among stunning speleothems, including dramatic stalactites hanging from the ceiling and towering stalagmites rising from the cave floor. The interior of the cave is a living, ever-changing landscape — no two visits are ever the same.

Exploring this geological marvel offers a unique glimpse into the park’s prehistoric past. Your guide will share fascinating insights into how the karst formations came to be and help you safely navigate the uneven terrain.

Don’t forget your camera — the mysterious atmosphere and natural textures inside the cave make for some truly memorable photos. Just be sure to watch your step and wear sturdy footwear!

This part of your Khao Sok overnight lake safari adds a sense of adventure and discovery, making it a true highlight for nature lovers, photographers, and curious explorers alike.

As your unforgettable Khao Sok Lake Safari adventure winds down, it's time to make your way back to the pier at Cheow Lan Lake. Your experienced longtail boat captain will guide the boat across the calm waters one final time, giving you a chance to reflect on the incredible memories made — from wildlife spotting to cave exploration and jungle treks.

Upon arrival, your air-conditioned minivan and friendly driver will be ready and waiting to ensure a smooth return to your hotel in Khao Lak. Please double-check that you’ve collected all personal belongings before stepping off the boat.

This is also a good opportunity to take a short bathroom break before the drive. The return trip gives you time to relax and enjoy the scenic views one last time.
