Suggested Itinerary
Khao Sok 4 Days / 3 Nights
Day 1: Leave for the area around Khao Sok National Park head quarters in the morning from Phuket, Khao Lak, Krabi, or Surat Thani. Visit the elephant camp and explore nature by canoeing down the Sok River. In the evening, enjoy the sounds of the rainforest.
Day 2: Visit the jungle cave temple. Go hiking in the national park by yourself or by hiring a local guide. The trails inside the park are well marked and there are several waterfalls on the way. From January to February it's possible to find the world's biggest flower, the Rafflesia blossom.
Day 3: Continue to Chiew Lan Lake about 70 km away and depart from the Rajjabrapa pier. On the way to the raft houses, sail amidst spectacular rock formations and make a detour for Gulin of Khao Sok, a scenic place on the lake. Check into a simple bamboo rafthouse. Paddle a canoe to explore the lake and look for wildlife. Take a bamboo raft to a newly discovered dripstone cave. This tour can also be arranged from your resort. Morning Mist Resort offers a lodging discount when you book an activity.
Day 4: Value your stay in the wilderness. Get up with the sun. Take a canoe or arrange with the boat driver to go for a safari to scan the banks. Morning is the time of day when the animals are most active and if a branch in the canopy flicks from one side to the other, it is often a group of monkeys searching for their first meal of the day. Take a swim in the lake and head back to the pier by longtail boat. Transfer to ongoing destinations can be arranged.
