Thailand Guide

Khao Sok

Come for limestone cliffs on a flooded lake, and a night in the forest. Sleep at the lake for dawn mist. Sleep in the village if you arrive late from Phuket or Krabi.

Khao Sok is the rainforest-and-lake stop on an Andaman week. The lake is inland; the calendar is still Andaman. Pair it with Phuket or Krabi, not with Samui, unless you like a long van.

Night safaris and lake canoes are the usual Klook-booked pieces. Raft houses vary in comfort; read the last season's notes.

Common questions

Day trip or overnight?
Overnight. The lake at 7:00 is the reason you came. A day trip is a van and a warm boat.
