I did this tour with a friend, having Aris as a guide. A part from some technical problems with our boat at the beginning, we were transported into a small camp hidden tin the jungle, on the close river, without Wi-Fi nor signal. This was incredible, as we spent 2 days fully immersed in Nature, between Safari and trekking activities . The expertise of our guide led us to 2 different encounters with wild elephant. Food was good and stuff helpful, I strongly recommend to bring all the objects indicated, especially the mosquito repellent, as many leeches are found during trekking. We closed our experience visiting a specific place in the park that inspired Pandora scenarios (planet in Avatar)

Amazing experience. Be ready for a real adventure and wildlife jungle. The accommodation was nice, beautiful water front, hence don't expect it to be a 5 stars hotel. Restrooms were nice and clean, require a bit of hike, no shower but there is still an option to wash yourself or you can just jump from your room in the lake to swim. We saw different animals and our guide Ariz was amazing. Organization and service was great, food was good, fresh and tasty as well.

Highly recommend this tour. Rolo our guide was fantastic. He was helpful and passionate about the wildlife and park. The food prepared was delicious. Beds and huts were comfortable. Toilet was just uphill. Expect to be "roughing it" for 1 night, but completely worth it for the views and closeness to nature. Our favorite part of visiting Thailand

I loved this trip. Khao Sok is a wonder on this earth and I felt very privileged to experience it. Everything is taken care off, all transport from your hotel to the huts on the river and back. Be aware that you sit for hours on a longtail boat, it's not very comfortable after an hour and this is a third of you trip activities. The huts and toilet are very basic but clean and comfortable. I loved the hut on the river, I could've spent more time just there. The way to get from the hut to the toilet and common area is a little tricky but I'm very clumsy and if I can do it so does everyone 😛 The food was really good and the people are very kind. I saw monkeys, deer, birds and lizards. Just don't expect it and you need heaps of patience. The guide really did try to spot an elephant but no luck there. I think the only reason why this trip doesn't get a 5 star is because the guide got a little obsessed with finding an elephant and like I said before it gets very uncomfortable in the boat and it just took too long. He doesn't have a lot of knowledge about the area, or at least he didn't share it. His main language is German and we had a lot of German people in the group so I get that it is a natural reaction to speak German. He tried to speak English and include me, as did the rest of the Group. The guide could've given more information in general and always in English cause sometimes I didn't know what was said. But to end with a positive note. Do it!! It sooooo worth it! Enjoy!!

A fantastic trip full of fun, information and adventure! A great back to basics jungle experience with a very knowledgable and passionate tour guide. It’s a long journey there… especially with kids but with cave and swim stops along the way it was well worth the journey and lovely to see all the wildlife exactly where it should be… in the wild! Although patience was needed at times, waiting for the animals to show up, and it 100% took us all out of our comfort zone sleeping in the hot and noisy, pitch black jungle… I will definitely recommend it to everyone and we would love to return!
