Wow - What amazing trip , our Guide was fantastic and couldn’t do enough to make sure we were happy . Our accommodations was a bamboo hut on the lake which wasn’t what we expected but which added to the experience . The driver of the longboat was amazing knowing all the nooks and crannies of the lake navigated perfectly even in the dark with only head torch .
We saw lots of monkeys , otters deer , a few iguanas, one of which ran up the beach as we approached which was just like watching a David Attenborough documentary. We thought the big animals had avoided us but on way back on day 2 we spotted an elephant. Wow! What a treat and he wasn’t bothered by us watching him take a mud bath so we sat and watched quietly taking lots of pictures. I cannot express how magical this trip was and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to see the real Thailand and its habitants.
U will definitely need long trousers or long socks and shorts and a really good mosquito and leach spray for your trek in the jungle

GREAT ADVENTURE! - 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.

Beautiful Nature Experience - 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

Khao So expedition with Rolo - This is the most amazing experience I ever had. In the middle of National Park, in unspoiled wild nature with amazing guide - Rolo. We watched the wildlife for hours, patiently, and all of the sudden - wild Elephant appeared. We watched it twice - in the evening and early in the morning. Rolo knows the habits of animals, talks about their life in the Park. The trip is very well organized, the meeting with the wild elephants in the natural environment is truly an unforgettable once in a life time experience. I recommend this tour to all sensitive people who want to discover the nature give it a respect and who are patient and keen to see the animals and untouched sacred jungle form the distance.
The best is to watch the animals from the boat, to listed to this ancient forest and not even see the exact genre but just listen. The night watch is also amazing under the stars. You can catch a sens of raw nature. You sleep in a bamboo tiny house, on the water, unconnected with the internet, with only wild around.

Two-day trip into the wilderness - We did the tour in mid-December.
The pick-up was great (7am), the driver was on time and there was a German tour guide (Rolo).
As we hadn't had breakfast yet, we were kindly offered the opportunity to have breakfast in the "tree house".
The trip to the huts on the longtail boat was very interesting, and we saw numerous animals on the way there. The accommodations are simple bamboo huts with mattresses and mosquito nets. Not luxury but certainly sufficient for one night.
The actual tour:
After lunch, we went on an exploration tour with our tour guide Rolo and our longtail boat driver Liam. We saw various species of monkeys, deer, various species of birds and elephant tracks. A short hike through the jungle following the elephants' tracks was also included. After that, we went back to the boat to keep looking for elephants and other animals.
After dusk, we drove back to the bamboo huts, where we had dinner.
The next morning we set off early (6am) to look for elephants. We saw a number of tracks on the shore again, but no elephants. Instead, we saw many other animal species, including a gaur, which is only seen very rarely.
After the exploration tour, we returned to the huts at around 10 a.m. and were greeted with breakfast. After that, we had some time to swim in the lake or explore the jungle on our own by canoe. After lunch, we went back with the longtail boat and the van, which dropped us off at our hotel.
In short, we can only recommend this trip to anyone who really wants to observe animals without being disturbed by the crowds of tourists.
A big thank you also goes to Rolo, who is always up for a laugh - a really great guy. He also took pictures of the animals with a camera throughout the tour, which he then sent to us.
5 out of 5 stars!

Gorgeous! - 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!!

An impatient guide that insults Traveler - It was very unpleasant to anyone who didn't come wrong, who didn't stand up in his own time, as if we were in the German army. The guide talked to me rude because I didn't realize I had to get to the lobby at a certain time, said the whole group was suffering from me before the whole group, yes in what words. And when I wanted to take another bottle of water he said that I already had three bottles in my bag.
After I complained, I didn't get an apology phone call, despite the company's manager promising to talk to me. Brothers, I don't recommend.

Not worth the money - Tour guide rolo spoke mostly german instead of english (while we booked an english tour), the tour does not include jungle trekking as they mention, it's just a 1.3 km slow walk on touristic constructed paths, guide can not give any information about the nature. We went on boat to see wildlife, but the guide needed to pee a lot so the boat trip had to be discontinued several times so he could pee. Guide smoked a lot, so instead of nature you smell cigarettes, disgusting. In summary, not worth the money at all. The biggest tourist was the guide himself. Not recommended!!!
