A very beautiful experience that gives an efficient summary of the national park! Even in the rain, the temple and views from the water were amazing. For the bamboo rafting, be wary of bugs!
Dear Oliver, Thank you very much for your wonderful review and for sharing your experience with us. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed exploring the national park, and that the temple and the beautiful views from the lake made your trip memorable, even in the rain. Thank you as well for mentioning the bamboo rafting. Nature is part of the adventure, and we appreciate you sharing this helpful tip with future travelers. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you again on another unforgettable experience in Thailand. Natthicha.
Fantastic tour. Aor was a phenomenal guide. It is rainy season in Thailand, so it rained. No big surprise. But Aor was always very positive and smiling. She asked if we still wanted to continue in the rain, and when we all said yes, she happily continued on the tour. Great guide! The lake was spectacular, Khao Sak was spectacular. And the bamboo rafting tour afterwards was extremely calm and peaceful. It is a long day with a long drive, but well worth it. I highly recommend it.
Dear Mr. Phil R, Thank you very much for your wonderful review and recommendation. We are glad to hear that you had a fantastic experience and that Aor took such good care of you throughout the tour, even during the rainy weather. Your kind words about her positive attitude and service truly mean a lot to us. We are also happy that you enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Khao Sok Lake and the peaceful bamboo rafting experience. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you again on another adventure in Thailand in the future. Natthicha.
I never leave reviews usually, but here I really had to... this trip to Khao Sok National Park was a real 10/10. Frankly everything was perfect from start to finish. We were picked up directly from the hotel, everything was super well organized, without headache. The guide was really adorable, very professional, but above all super nice... she was present when needed while letting us enjoy quietly, and that was really appreciable. The program was just great: visiting the temple, the park is beautiful, lunch in an amazing setting (and very good), and bamboo rafting was a great experience, super exotic. For the price, honestly it is well worth it, especially since we were lucky because we were a small group of 5 people. I recommend with my eyes closed, one of the best excursions I have made 🙏
Dear Sarah, Nous vous remercions sincèrement pour votre magnifique commentaire. Nous sommes ravis d’apprendre que votre expérience au parc national de Khao Sok a été parfaite du début à la fin. Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez apprécié l’organisation de la journée, le programme, ainsi que la beauté des lieux. Votre satisfaction concernant le déjeuner et l’expérience de bamboo rafting nous fait également très plaisir. Un grand merci pour vos aimables mots à propos de notre guide. Nous ne manquerons pas de lui transmettre votre message — elle sera très touchée. Nous vous remercions encore pour votre recommandation et espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour une autre belle excursion en Thaïlande. Natthicha.
Breathtaking scenery! We were the first visitors to the temple in the morning. It was so peaceful! Then onto Khao Sok, a long boat tour of the lake and then a bamboo river tour. Absolutely incredible experience! Lunch was provided which was delicious and plentiful fresh Thai cuisine. The tour guide was so lovely and I can't thank her enough for the beautiful photos she took for me! Thankyou! 🙏
Dear Ms. Robyn, Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We are truly glad to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful morning at the temple and had such an incredible experience at Khao Sok.

We really enjoyed the trip with our lovely guide. She was very engaged and funny, never rushed us through one place and like this, we could enjoy a very sightful and relaxing day tour in peaceful places.

The timing was super . We visited the temple before it opened to tourist we were alone. The Khao sok lake was amazing the lunch 5 stars.the bamboo raft ok. All in all a great day The neg for me was the price differences between me and others in my group. I traveled solo and had to pay a premium 185 € another man also traveled solo and only paid 65€ . So do your best to find prices or even wait until you come. I booked 6 months in advance. . Like I said a great activity but an unfair price difference.
Dear Mr. Dwight, Thank you very much for your kind review. We are truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the timing, the temple visit, Khao Sok Lake, and the overall experience with us. Your feedback means a lot to our team. Regarding the price difference, we would like to kindly clarify. As our tour departs from Phuket, we normally need to charge an extra fee for pick-ups from Khao Sok area hotels. In your case, your hotel was located in this area, and this cost was already included in your payment. Additionally, on the day of your tour, there were only 4 guests in total. Some guests booked directly with our guides and may receive special promotions or discounts, which can result in price differences. Thank you again for your understanding and for choosing our service. We hope to welcome you again in the future. Kind Regards, Natthicha.
- Organization fine - Take into account long bus ride (we knew in advance) - Visit to beautiful temple - Boat trip on lake was also very nice - Nice buffet afternoon at the floating village - Then made a nice raft trip where we saw monkeys and snakes
Beste Frederik, Hartelijk dank voor uw mooie en uitgebreide beoordeling. We zijn erg blij om te horen dat u tevreden was over de organisatie en heeft genoten van de tempel, de boottocht op het meer en het buffet bij het drijvende dorp. Wat fijn dat u ook plezier heeft gehad tijdens de vlottentocht en zelfs aapjes en slangen heeft kunnen zien – dat maakt de ervaring extra bijzonder! Wij hopen u in de toekomst opnieuw te mogen verwelkomen op één van onze tours. Met vriendelijke groet, Natthicha.

I had a wonderful day at Khao Sok National park! Everything was well arranged, from pick-up to drop-off. Special shout out to Napisa/Ao for making us all feel comfortable and being so friendly and bringing the good vibes. We saw elephants from up close which was amazing! When we arrived there the food was served immediately and there was a great variety of dishes. I can recommend this tour 10/10!!
