"The problem with Khao Sok is that many visitors don't plan enough time [to explore both land and water activities]. You should split your visit between the lake and the village. Opt for a long-tail-boat tour guide for an experience that’s more free-flowing. At the park's core is Cheow Larn Lake, known for its floating houses and upscale camping. Choose a riverside treehouse or cottage as your base for jungle trekking and canoeing. Arrange treks and other activities through the park's main office in Khao Sok village." - Stacey Wreathall Stacey Wreathall Stacey Wreathall is a freelance writer and Thailand travel expert.
