We've got home to the UK and recommending this place to everyone who will listen! We booked the jungle package and chose the river canoe trip, night hike in the jungle, overnight stay on Cheow Lan Lake and upgraded to an ethical elephant experience on the last day. Everything was wonderful right from booking a few months prior. The transfer organised by them from the railway station at Surat Thani was seamless, the check in super organised and our room was made ready very shortly after we'd arrived (very early!) Rooms are spacious and a perfect atmosphere for the location, with balcony and hammock to spot the wildlife around or just experience the peace. And the food - probably some of the best food we've had in Thailand. It was beautiful and the staff there wonderful and very efficient. The overnight trip to Cheow Lan Lake will stay with us forever - it's just stunning and I'd really recommend you don't miss this. Yes the accommodation is very basic at the lake but you're in the middle of nowhere and it just all adds to the experience - don't expect 5 star facilities, just soak up the atmosphere and hospitality. Listening to gibbons, watching a sea eagle fly high above with a snake (!) seeing hornbills in the trees, the tranquillity. so many stunning photos opportunities - I could go on! The guide on our night jungle hike was very good - we saw a sloth, many scorpions, macaques, flying foxes and two snakes in the trees above (not a python!) We just wish we'd booked a couple of days more here to chill out, spending more time at the river beach watching the macaques playing in the trees and water and having a couple of Thai massages (us not monkeys obvs) They also run a shuttle into Khao Sok town, so you're not isolated there - we didn't do that but the town is a road of bustling activity full of restaurants, bars and small hotels.

“Thai hospitality at its best”

Great experience with gentle kind staff. Simple accommodation which feels authentic with fresh good food. Lovely location in the rainforest.

We had a an amazing three night stay at Khoa Sok Riverside Cottages. We arranged pick up and drop up and it was perfectly organized. The cottages are just beautiful to stay in. Simple but gorgeous and so peaceful. We even woke up to monkeys in the trees above our cottage. We loved our trip to Cheow Lan Lake and spending the night there. The cabin was rustic but comfortable and the view was unbeatable. Highlight was canoeing around the limestone formations. The food at the restaurant back at the cottages was fantastic and sitting on the deck and eating was very special. We loved the night safari and our guide was excellent and tubing down the river was very fun. Was very sad to leave

“Great location in the Jungle”

Wonderful experience "living in the Jungle". Very good food and very reasonable price. The one day trip to the lake is well worth it, includes a decent lunch and a Jungle trek up a waterfall. One of the staff members may remember the "Big Monkey" ! It rained all night for both nights but it didn't … lisää
