Along the way your guide will explain the unique history of the region and it’s cultural significance, pointing out such magnificent creatures as; Jurassic insects, butterflies and rare birds.

2.00Issues: 1. Itinerary was not provided. We did not bring temple attire as we had no idea we were going to temples on the way to the park. 2. We had to sit at a hot rest area for 30 mins waiting for another group to meet us. 3. At the lodging there were no small or medium life vests. The large were way to big. 4. No where prior to arrival did it say you were required to wear a life vest to swim (which was impossible in a large life vest). And that you cannot jump into the water from the rooms. This was shown as a fun activity in TikTok videos but you will be fined if you do it. 5. The owners of the lodging were hypocrites. Signs say no dogs. They bring their dog. Lodging is uncomfortable (hot, stuffy, power only on at night, thin mattress). Yet their owners suite has an air conditioner and deluxe bed/amenities). They also ignore us at the restaurant while catering to some VIP female volleyball team. This tour was the most expensive and least enjoyed of our two weeks in Thailand. Would not go back.
Highlight of our Trip

5.00Our visit to Khao Sok National Park was by far the highlight of our trip to Thailand, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Krabi area. The park itself is absolutely breathtaking, with its towering limestone rock formations rising out of the tranquil lake, surrounded by lush jungle. It’s a must-see experience that truly captures the natural beauty of Thailand. We took a 1-night tour with Sutin Group through Trip House Krabi, and Praeedet was our fantastic tour guide. The trip started early in the morning, with a few scenic stops along the way to break up the drive. We had the chance to go on a nature hike, visit a beautiful temple, and enjoy a delicious lunch by a suspension bridge in the jungle, all of which were included in the tour. The journey continued to a pier where we boarded a longboat to the Phutawan raft house. There are two types of bungalows—capsule-shaped ones that fit four people and small floating houses for two. The accommodations are basic, but the experience of staying in a floating bungalow in the middle of a lake is unforgettable. Electricity is available at night, and each bungalow has a fan. The only downside (if I had to be completely honest) was that the beds weren’t the most comfortable. However, considering we were in the heart of nature, I didn’t expect extreme luxury, and honestly, the experience made up for it. Also, we didn’t find it too hot thanks to the fan, but bear in mind we were there during a milder month. Upon arrival at the floating bungalow in the afternoon, we had some free time to swim or kayak before heading out for a night safari, which was a unique and exciting adventure. Dinner (included) was served afterward, and it was delicious authentic Thai food. The next morning, we enjoyed another morning safari, followed by breakfast (included) at the raft house. Afterward, we explored a cave, which was a fun addition to the itinerary. We then had some more free time before lunch (also included), which was another fantastic Thai meal. Throughout the entire trip, the food was consistently amazing, and the raft house even has a bar for a relaxed drink by the lake. Praeedet was an excellent guide, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and that we were all comfortable. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had a memorable experience. If you’re in Krabi, this tour is an absolute must-do. Khao Sok National Park offers a unique and stunning experience, and the tour with Sutin Group will leave you with memories you’ll cherish forever.
Beautiful, friendly, caring

5.00We had a great time with our guide Pradet. He was very friendly and enthousiastic. He teached us some things about his country and language. He knows a lot about the National park and helped us with everything we needed. He was listening to us when we requested to do something different then we planned. We really recommend this tour for everyone!
