Travel from Khao Lak into Khao Sok National Park for an adjustable jungle hike with guides such as Nine, Chon, or Arisa, then eat Thai food, paddle the Sok River with a local canoeist, visit Wat Tham Pla, and stop at a mountain viewpoint.

“We went on this trip today. It was a good experience and Arisa our guide was great. She was kind, fun, and very informative. She knows a lot about the nature, and could answer all our questions. It was a very hot and dry day, but we still saw monkeys, insects and a few snakes. The lunch was delicious and the canoe trip afterwards was also amazing even though the water in the river was very low due to the dry season. We had a great day and enjoyed it very much :)”
