I did not have a single good coffee the whole time I was here. Even those that looked nice with a nice design in the foam ended up tasting pretty bad once you got to the coffee itself. If you head towards the national park, once you cross the bridge over the river there will be a place about 40m from the bridge on the left hand side of the road.
I highly recommend it. So that is a cheaper way of doing it but it means you need to hang around outside waiting for your washing and then also need to dry the clothes and wait for that as well. There are no gyms in the Khao Sok area, or at least none that I saw when I was there.
However you will likely be hiking, or be doing a tour and can go 3 days without a gym. In the interest of keeping this Khao Sok travel guide short and to the point, I have made a separate post of some of the activities that you can do in Khao Sok national park. Most of these activities are bundled into tours that are both affordable and good fun.
I did one, and the value for money was very good! However the overnight camping in the jungle is very expensive and requires more than one person to make a booking. Get that in ya!

For a rough guide of all the months combined; Average Maximums: I booked through Smiley's and the 2nd day is pretty much just relaxation until you head back to town. It is worthwhile since it is such a beautiful location to stay that night though. Be prepared for leeches on the trails, not sure how bad they are in March but a couple of the guys were mobbed luckily on the lake tour we only ran into a couple of them. I don't know all the options but Smiley's is better then a lot of the other options because they have their own raft houses that are better shape and have their own bathrooms.
The guides were good too and food was decent. You may have to share room since travelling solo but they will give you own room if there is no other solo females. Their brick houses in the house are nice to stay in at the park, didn't see their wood houses so not sure how they compare.
I can't remember about plug ins. When you search on the internet about Khao Sok national park you always see pictures of Khao Sok Lake. Khlong Sok is also where you arrive by bus. In this part of the park, you can spend the night in a bungalow on the lake, which is really fantastic. If you follow our Thailand itinerary you will travel from Koh Samui.
In fact, it is very easy to reach because of its popularity. We advise you to stay at least 2 nights, however, a longer stay of 3 or 4 nights is of course better. You will have more time to discover different places in Khao Sok National Park.
If you stay 2 nights: the first night you will stay in Khlong Sok and the second night in a bungalow on Khao Sok lake. The first day you will probably arrive in Khlong Sok in the afternoon, you will still have time to do something fun, like rafting.
After the tour, you can travel back via a night bus to Bangkok from Klong Sok. If you want more time to relax it is better to stay one night after the tour in Klong Sok and not travel directly to Bangkok.
If you stay longer in Khlong Sok, you can discover more of Khao Sok national park. Curious what this is, read it below. However, in addition to visiting Khao Sok Lake, two other activities are great. On the day of arrival, we went with a private guide to Khao Sok National Park to raft in the Sok river. In the rainforest flows the river Sok.
Enjoy the beautiful views, impressive nature, and animals that you will see. In all likelihood, like us, you will see monkeys and snakes that live along the river.
From the visitor center, you can take walks through the jungle, past waterfalls and if you are lucky you can see wildlife. You can easily undertake the walks independently from the visitor center. At the visitor center, you can buy a map with all the routes indicated. Recommended is to ask information at the visitor center which route is most suitable. Ask for more information about the accommodation, they can arrange a local guide. It is one of the few areas in the world where mammals large animal species with hair can still live well.
We recommend exploring Khao Sok Lake with a tour. The hike to the entrance of Nam Talu Cave took around an hour, and involved walking along paths carved through bamboo forests, and crossing several streams and rivers.
At the entrance of Nam Talu Cave, we were equipped with head torches, and everyone packed essential items into dry bags. The cave is m long, and the route through is a dark, wet one! We spotted bats, frogs and spiders along the journey. I wore a bikini and water shoes for the cave trek more on what to pack below , as it was really wet! On day two we visited Pra Kay Petch Cave. This was a much more relaxed adventure. It took just 15 minutes to walk through the cave, and inside were a beautiful array of stalagmites and stalactites.
We went on two longtail boat safaris — in the evening of the first day, and early morning the next day. We did! There were lots of monkeys playing by the shore, plus we saw a few beavers and plenty of birds. It was definitely a refreshing way to wake up and a wonderful way to take in the landscapes. Dry bag — useful for the cave trip if you want to take any items with you, but you should be able to hire them at the accommodation, or buy in the market.
Water shoes — essential for the cave trip, but again, you can hire them at the accommodation or buy in the market. Do you want to hear something funny about our trip? They thought we wanted them to take care of them! So we arrived at the floating bungalows without any essentials. No toothpaste, no change of clothes… just cameras, suncream, phones and what we were wearing! To be honest, I was expecting to rough it for a night in pretty basic accommodation, but I was a little surprised by just HOW basic it was.
Our bungalow had one big double mattress on the floor, with a mosquito net over it… and that was it. There were a couple of sheets, and a light outside, but that was it. There was no fan, but we managed to sleep ok as the temperatures were more comfortable by the evening. The bathroom situation was a little tricky too.
