Khao Sok National Park, Thailand
Khao Sok is not really ‘off the beaten path’ per say but it is skipped over quite a bit on people’s trips to Thailand. Khao Sok is in close proximity to both the islands in the south and in the east, approximately 2 hour drive.
My favorite accommodation in Khao Sok is at ‘Our Jungle House’ and was one of the very first eco hotels before ‘eco’ was even a thing. We stay here on our tour and many have said it is one of their favorite stops on the trip!
Khao Sok is one of the oldest jungles in the world and is said to be over 160 million years old which would make it the second oldest jungle in the world.
One of the highlights of the park is staying inside the national park on floating lake houses.
Although the lake houses lack a bit in comfort the views make up for that and is a bit reminiscent of camping.
Khao Sok is one of my favorite places ever and the rainforest is absolutely amazing! Other activities you can do is go tubing, canoeing, hot springs, night jungle treks and so much more.
