Khao Sok National Park - pre-travel post


Khao Sok National park is a huge nature reserve mostly covered by rainforest, with lakes, limestone mountains and valleys, caves and more. These national parks are the places to enjoy Asias' wilderness and natural wonders. The climate here is, naturally, that of a rainforest. It is actually the wettest area in Thailand due to it's location, but don't let that put you off, what are you going to a rainforest for? Temperatures at the end of February reach the low 30s.

If you've got money to burn, stay in a private tree house on the edge of Khao Sak. Prices start at 800THB, information can be found here. Otherwise, guesthouses with cold showers are about 300THB and up.

The best way to experience. national park is with a guide, as you are only allowed to go so far on your own. The guides can take you caving, trekking, tubing, camping or on a long boat. There is no shortage of choice to the activities available.
Tours start at 300THB and can go up to even 20,00THB through the official visitors centre. This site gives you some idea of how much it will cost for what you want to do. We will simply do a bit of shopping around on arrival to find a tour that suits us and our budget.

Some say he’s half man half fish, others say he’s more of a seventy/thirty split. Either way he’s a fishy bastard.
