the amazing things you'll be doing
Khao Sok tours - 4 days and 3 nights of jungle adventure. You'll spend two nights at Arts Riverview Lodge in a unique canopy treehouse, then one night at the floating rafthouses of Chieow Laan Lake. Experience the breathtaking beauty of this rainforest oasis.
On arrival at Arts Riverview Lodge, you'll be shown to your private treehouse in the jungle canopy. Time for a bite to eat, then off for some relaxing fun. Your choices today are a gentle glide down the Klong Sok River in an inner tube or a relaxing Thai massage.
The following day, you'll have time to explore Khao Sok in the manner that suits you best. Your choices include a jungle elephant trek, a guided canoe trip down the Klong Sok River or a guided National Park jungle walk. Free time for the rest of the day before another delicious meal at Art's welcoming open-air restaurant.
On the third day, you'll say goodbye to Arts early in the morning, travelling by vehicle then longtail boat to your overnight accommodation - your very own floating rafthouse at Chieow Laan Lake.
Take a quick dip in the emerald green waters of Chieow Laan lake before enjoying a scrumptious Thai lunch. Then it's off for a guided jungle walk or canoe trip - the choice is yours. Or maybe you'd prefer to just sit & soak up the atmosphere from the balcony of your floating rafthouse. In the evening you'll enjoy a selection of southern Thai specialty foods with just the stars & the sounds of nature as your backdrop.
The next morning board your longtail boat or paddle a canoe in search of wildlife, before returning to the rafthouses for a delicious breakfast. You'll then have time to relax or do some more sightseeing before lunch, a final swim and a sad goodbye to your temporary oasis. You will return to your starting point by mid-afternoon.
Please note: These Khao Sok tours can run in reverse order, staying at Chieow Laan Lake on the first night and Arts Riverview Lodge on the second and third nights.

Khao Sok family tours
We offer a range of family packages and custom tours to suit children and adults of all ages. Our family packages range from one day trips to Chieow Laan Lake to 4 day jungle/lake tours, with accommodation and activities specially designed for families travelling with children.travellers' tales
Most memorable part? Too many to mention, but the stunning scenery and completely unspoilt grandeur of the huge Limestone Lake and the fact that so few tourists have ever been there to share the enormous privilege of living on the lake would score highly. (more)
travelling with a local operator
This holiday is operated by a company based in the holiday destination and they will be able to provide expert local knowledge. They will be able to tailor make your holiday to suit your requirements not only concerning the dates of travel but also typically the standard of accommodation, and thus price. It is rare for local operators to be able to help with the booking of your flights.how this holiday makes a difference
|
Our Khao Sok tours go into Khao Sok National Park and Chieow Laan Lake, giving our clients a chance to view first hand an ancient rainforest and some of the flora and fauna present within it. Our pre-trip document, given to travellers, outlines ways they can reduce the negative impact on the environment, including reducing water usage, minimising damage to flora and fauna and respecting the environment in general.
Travellers have the opportunity to meet the park rangers who take care of the area and who reside at the floating rafthouses where we stay. Our guides inform travellers about the impact of poaching of wildlife and flora within the park, and how the park rangers attempt to minimise this type of activity. We do not offer large group travel. This provides for more intimate and direct interaction between the traveller and the local guides and people in the communities we visit and avoids ‘over-running’ the destinations we visit. In an effort to create jobs and bring money into the local communities, we choose accommodation operated by local people and utilise the services of operators who source their food and other equipment from local businesses whenever possible. Our clients are encouraged to take time to visit Khao Sok’s local Buddhist temple, where the current abbot is often available to chat with travellers about the local community, the role of the temple and monks as part of that community and to show people around the temple complex. If they wish, visitors can make a small donation to assist in the running of the temple. However, this is not expected and is up to the individual discretion of each person visiting. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
