Khao Sok National Park | The Ultimate Adventure Travel Guide

The ultimate destination for nature lovers who want to disconnect from technology and immerse themselves in one of the most unique natural surroundings in the world. You’ll feel like you traveled back through time as you experience one of the most majestic places in Thailand at Khao Sok National Park.

Not so long ago, we mentioned that  jungle trekking in Indonesia  and coming face-to-face with orangutans in the wild was THE most unforgettable experience we’ve had. Now we can add another to the list: witnessing the otherworldly beauty of Khao Sok and hiking through a water cave. Read on to find out how you can experience this once-in-a-lifetime adventure for yourself.

If it’s your first time travelling to Thailand, make sure you read our  7 Krabi travel tips . We may have written it specifically for Krabi, but most of the tips are applicable for travelling anywhere in Thailand.

We share useful tips like how much to budget daily, whether it is card friendly and even how to rent a scooter in Thailand.

Why Khao Sok National Park

Khao Sok National Park is one of Thailand’s most beautiful national parks and a magical hidden gem destination. The locals often compare its landscapes to Guilin in China and Halong Bay in Vietnam, but for those like us who love our fantasy movies, it is better known for its Jurassic Park/Avatar-like scenery.

And the cherry on top? A fraction of the tourists compared to Guilin and Halong Bay. And you don’t need a tourist visa to visit Thailand for most nationalities.

That means no more photos with tourists holding giant iPads in your photo’s background, and no queuing for tourists visas at the airport.

Now that’s what we call a win-win situation.

Top Things To Do in Khao Sok National Park

There are plenty of outdoor activities to do and explore in Khao Sok. From jungle trekking (guided and non-guided), visiting elephant sanctuaries to relaxing in natural hot springs and tubing down the river.

However the top, ‘not-to-be-missed’ attraction is the Khao Sok Lake Tour . Why? Because this is where you will be transported to Jurassic Park (without the dinosaurs), and for the more adventurous types, experience hiking through a water cave!

This was definitely the highlight of our trip and an experience we would do again!

khao sok itinerary

How to Get to Khao Sok National Park

There are 3 ways to get to Khao Sok National Park. The easiest, but most expensive way is by private taxi transfer . This costs around €80 in total (max 4 people) and includes pick-up and drop-off from your hotel in Phuket to Khao Sok.

The second option is to share a bus transfer from Phuket town to Khao Sok. This option costs €24 per person in a comfortable, air-conditioned van.

The last option to get to Khao Sok is by public transport. It’s the cheapest but also most adventurous option (mostly because of the language barrier). This costs a fraction of the price at around 220 Thai Baht per person or €6.50 .

Make sure you read our Thailand Transportation guide if it’s your first time. Otherwise, here’s how you get from Phuket to Khao Sok via public transport.

Getting from Phuket to Khao Sok by Public Bus

  • Head to the central bus station in Phuket town (refer to map)
  • Go to the ticket desk and purchase a bus ticket from Phuket to Khao Sok
  • Buses leave every hour from 7AM to 3PM so make sure you arrive at least 40 minutes before the hour to purchase your ticket (tickets can’t be purchased online and space is given on a first-come-first serve basis)
  • Depending on the bus, you may need to change buses at Takua Pa (just ask the desk to double check)
  • The entire trip should take 4 hours and you will arrive at the main bus station at Khao Sok town and VOILA!

Getting from Phuket or Khao Lak to Khao Sok

Want to head straight from the beach to the rain forests but it’s too much of a mission? Don’t worry, there is an easy way to get to Khao Sok from Khao Lak and Phuket!

It will take a few hours hours to get there, but we promise it is worth it. Book a day trip from Phuket to Khao Sok or a transfer from Khao Lak to Khao Sok  online and save yourself time and hassle later.

Khao Sok National Park Tours: Overnight Tour vs Day Tour

The absolute must-do Khao Sok National Park tour, is the Cheow Lan Lake Tour . You can just do the day tour or stay overnight on a floating bungalow for 1 or 2 nights.

We highly recommend staying over for at least one night to make the most out of this unique experience. That way, your tours won’t be as rushed, you have a higher chance at spotting wildlife and you can enjoy kayaking or swimming in the lake with many toothless fish.

We actually opted to stay over for an extra night (2 nights, 3 days) so we could have an entire day to ourselves, kayaking from island to island, swimming in the lake and have time to appreciate the lake and its beautiful surroundings.

If you’re short on time, then a day tour is better than nothing. If you’re arriving by bus from Phuket, stay the night in Khao Sok village and book your day tour for the following day. Find out how much it costs and what it includes below.

Cost of Khao Sok Lake Day Tour

1500 Thai Baht (€42) per person and 750 Thai Baht (€21) for children under 120cm tall.

What Does the Day Tour Include

  • Jungle trekking through Tham Nam Ta Lu (Water Cave) or coral cave (depends on the season and water level) with an expert guide
  • Round trip transfer (from hotel in Khao Sok)
  • Thai set lunch
  • Drinking water
  • Local Travel guide (English speaking)
  • Long tail boat

Excluded items:

  • Khao Sok National Park fee (300 Thai Baht per person)
  • Other drinks (i.e. soda, beer, happy buckets, etc.)

Price of Khao Sok Lake Overnight Tour

2500 Thai Baht (€70) per person and 1250 Thai Baht (€35) for children under 120cm tall – this is for 1 night and 2 days and includes the floating bungalows accommodation and all meals.

The kayaks and tubes are free to use. Sounds like a great deal but don’t be fooled by these innocent boats. They can end friendships and relationships.

If you want to extend your stay by an extra night like we did, it costs an extra 1500 Thai Baht per person and includes all meals for the extra day.

What Does the Overnight Tour Include

  • Morning jungle safari tour by long tail boat
  • Visit Pra Kay Petch Cave (dry cave)
  • Round trip transfer (from hotel in Khao Sok)
  • 1 night’s accommodation on raft house (2 person/room)
  • Free use of kayaks and tubes
  • A towel each

Khao Sok Floating Bungalows

The price for the Khao Sok Lake tours are standardized, whether you book from a tour operator or from your hotel. But there may be differences in the type of hotel you get and whether or not the tour operator provides water shoes, head lamps and water bags so you don’t need to buy them yourself.

Make sure to ask which hotel it is, especially if you want your own bathroom. The bamboo bungalows look very pretty and romantic, but none of them have their own bathrooms, so you’ll need a torch to get to the loo at night.

If you don’t want to hike to the bathroom (ok, maybe ‘hike is over exaggerating) then make sure your tour operator books you to stay at  Smiley Bungalows . The accommodation is also very basic, but each bungalow has its own bathroom attached to each unit.

If it’s a special occasion and you don’t mind paying more, there are also some luxurious options available:

  • Khao Sok National Park Overnight Stay in a Treehouse Bungalow (includes meals and excursions)
  • 3 Day Floating Resort on Cheow Lan Lake in Khao Sok (includes meals and excursions)
  • 2 Day / 1 Night stay Cheow Lan Lake and Wildlife Tour (includes meals and transfer)

Khao Sok Floating Bungalows Review

This part is more for managing expectations rather than a review. The floating bungalow on the lake is very basic. You’re on a lake after all, surrounded by one of the most ancient rainforests in the world. At least you don’t need to set up your own camp and dig a hole to handle your business right?

long tail boat floating on a lake in khao sok national park

At Smiley Bungalows , each unit can sleep up to 3-4 people but the minimum is 2 in each unit. So you may be paired with someone if you’re travelling solo.There is no A/C, but there is a fan in the room. The shower is cold to lukewarm at best.

We found the accommodation to be more than sufficient. The only thing that can be improved is cleanliness. The bed sheets and pillow cases are not changed on a daily basis even though new people arrive every day (we’re only slightly OCD…).

If you’re addicted to the internet, you going to have to detox here as there is no cellphone signal or wi-fi. As internet addicts ourselves, we can tell you that it wasn’t so bad and was actually quite liberating. To conserve electricity, the rooms only have electricity between 6PM and 6AM, but you can charge your phones and cameras at the dining/bar area anytime of the day.

What to Pack for the Khao Sok National Park Tour

  • Water shoes/comfortable walking shoes that you don’t mind getting wet and muddy
  • Headlamps (if your tour operator doesn’t provide them)
  • Costume/bikini/speedo (whatever you fancy)
  • A set of dry clothes for the second day
  • Mosquito spray
  • Leech spray (only necessary when you go during monsoon season)
  • Toiletries (shampoo, soap)
  • Extra toilet paper
  • Dry bag (25 litre is the most versatile size)

couple wearing athletic wear on khao sok lake tour for hiking

We would recommend you pack everything into your dry bag and leave the rest of your luggage at your accommodation’s reception or storage area. Some tour operators will even store your luggage for you. It is important that you only take what you need.

We recommend getting the  Ocean Pack 25 litre dry bag , as it is the most versatile. If you love adventure, particularly ones that involve water, this bag will come very handy for all your future trips.

In Khao Sok town, they cost around 400 Thai Baht (€11) but you can also buy it on Amazon. There are cheaper dry bags, but the quality is not great and won’t last as long as Ocean Pack. We’ve had ours for 9 years and it’s still in perfect condition.

What Shoes to Wear For Khao Sok Lake Tour

If you don’t want to ruin your trainers, you can rent rubber shoes for the jungle trek for 50 Thai Baht (€1.40) at Smiley Bungalows. They will give you more grip than trainers, so we would recommend you rent these rather than wear your trainers.

We wore our usual  Mares Dive Booties  for the entire hike. They are meant for diving, but we use them for all our water sport activities and even hike with them when the terrain is muddy and slippery. We absolutely love that they are super lightweight, versatile and very resilient. We’ve have had ours for over 6 years and besides a small hole in the front, they work perfectly and are easy to clean.

Don’t Forget Travel Insurance

Travel insurance will protect you against injury, illness, theft and even trip cancellation. It’s comprehensive cover in case anything goes wrong. We never go on a trip without it as we’ve had to use it many times in the past. Here are our favourite companies that offer the best value and service:

  • SafetyWing  (best for everyone)
  • AXA  (for US residents)
  • Outbacker  (for UK residents)
  • Allianz  (for Germany residents)

Khao Sok National Park Itinerary

Hiking through water cave.

This was no doubt the highlight of the trip and one that shouldn’t be missed. Your tour operator will take you for a short, long tail boat ride to the start of the hiking trail through the rainforest, to get to the entrance of the cave. It’s a short 3km walk to the entrance of the cave, which was not difficult at all and mostly flat.

entrance to water cave hike at cheow lan lake

When you get to the cave, that’s when the real adventure and fun begins. It was our first experience hiking through a pitch black cave, with only our headlamps to guide us, amongst bats, frogs, spiders and who knows what else (eeek!).

people walking inside dark cave in thailand with headlamps lighting the way

And to add to the adventure, the water in some parts of the cave are over 2 meters deep, which means we had to muster all the doggy paddling skills we had to manoeuvre ourselves through some very narrow sections of the cave.

It was one of the most exhilarating experiences we’ve had to date and we would do it again in a heartbeat!

Morning Jungle Safari Tour in Khao Sok National Park

Early morning wake up at 5:30AM to start your morning safari around the lake. If you’re lucky and the sky is clear, you’ll get to see the most magnificent sunrise, peeking out between the majestic limestone cliffs.

hidden gem destinations thailand

Thereafter, it’s a 90 minute lake safari tour with the chance of spotting some wildlife. We saw monkeys, a large monitor lizard, a variety of birds and a family of river otters. If you’re lucky, you’ll see gibbons, elephants and cobras that often hang in the tree branches.

Pra Kay Petch Cave Hike in Khao Sok

A small cave you will visit on your way back to the Ratchaprapha Marina. This cave is dry and much easier to navigate through than Water Cave, but also less exciting. The highlight of this cave is seeing coral rocks that are thousands of years old, spotting snake eggs and even a live snake! Don’t worry, they’ll be long gone by the time your brain figures out what you just saw.

Where To Book Khao Sok National Park Tours

The price of the tour is pretty much standardised but what the type of experience you’ll get will differ. Some tour operators are only able to book the bamboo hut floating bungalows, which has a communal bathroom to share amongst all the units.

Other tour operators will be able to book you into floating bungalows like Smiley’s where you can have a bit more privacy with your own bathroom. With or without bathroom, both tour packages will cost exactly the same. So take your pick based on your personal preference.

Khao Sok National Park Hotels

We booked our tour at the  Montania Lifestyle Hotel  (renamed from Khao Sok Royal Cliff Resort and Spa) where we stayed overnight before going on the Khao Sok Lake Tour.

The price of the tour cost exactly the same as what the tour operators were selling. The difference was that the hotel had kindly arrange to pack toiletries and extra toilet paper for us to take with, so that we didn’t have to buy.

The hotel also kept our luggage safe in their storage room while we were on the Lake Tour so we didn’t have to pay for accommodation we wouldn’t use.

If you would like to stay at the Bamboo Huts, you can book directly with Sunny from Khao Sok Jungle Hostel . When you book with him, he includes the rubber shoes that you can use for the cave as well as a dry bag. He is also an amazing guy to speak to and ask for recommendations on the best places to visit in Thailand.

Besides being super friendly, he is also very honest and will tell you which tours you should or shouldn’t go on, even if it means you don’t book the tour with him.

khao sok jungle hostel

It was honestly so refreshing to meet and befriend him. Someone who wants travellers to come and enjoy every moment in his home country, rather than just trying to make a quick buck off tourists. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have enjoyed Khao Sok as much as we did and be able to share all these travel tips with you.

How Many Days Should You Stay in Khao Sok National Park

We stayed for 4 days and were only able to visit the Monkey Temple (actual name Wat Tham Phanthurat), explore Khao Sok town and do the 2 night, 3 day Khao Sok Lake Tour. If you want to jungle trek in Khao Sok National Park or visit an elephant sanctuary, then you’ll need an extra day or two.

solo travel destinations in thailand

We stayed at the  Montania Lifestyle Hotel , which we enjoyed thoroughly. It’s a great option for couples or families as they have a big garden and a lovely pool too.

If you’re travelling alone or looking for a more budget friendly option, check out  Khao Sok Jungle Hostel . It’s very affordable and you get great value for money.

Is there Malaria in Khao Sok National Park

No, but there are mosquitoes, so make sure you get some bug spray. But don’t worry, you’ll get a good night’s rest at the floating bungalows as there are no mosquitoes there.

Is Khao Sok A Family Vacation Destination?

All the activities on the lake tour are kid friendly except for the water cave. There are several points in the water cave where it is more than a meter deep and the deepest section is around 2 meters deep, so children (and adults) need to be strong swimmers.

Best Time of Year to Visit Khao Sok National Park

The best time of the year to visit Khao Sok is outside the rainy season, between November and April. But with that being said, it may rain even in the dry season since the province receives some of the highest rainfall in Thailand.

You’ll need some luck with the weather because some of the activities are weather dependent, like hiking through the water cave.

If it looks like it will rain or is raining, then that leg of the trip will either have to be cancelled or postponed. No one wants a repeat of the Thai soccer team cave rescue mission (unless you want to sign a deal with Netflix).

Best Places To Visit In Thailand

We loved every moment in Khao Sok, from its friendly people to its unique, mystical natural scenery. If you’re on an extended trip in Thailand, why not explore more of its beautiful landscapes and other hidden gems? We have a complete  guide on how to get around Thailand  using its extensive public transport system. This is how we got to some of the  most beautiful beaches in Thailand  on the island of Koh Phangan.

phuket to khao sok tour

The first thing I found when researching how to get to Khao Sok from Phuket is that it can be a little tricky.  However, after spending some time there myself, I can assure you it’s well worth the effort.

And the good news is, if you’re coming from Phuket – then this is one of the easiest ways for getting to Khao Sok National Park.

There are no flights to Khao Sok National Park , and while at 143km, Phuket is not the closest airport to Khao Sok National Park (Surat Thani is). However, it has the most frequent and cheap flights and is often the best airport to fly into to get to Khao Sok National Park.

If you’re flying from overseas, many countries even have direct flights to Phuket, saving you from having to fly into Bangkok if you don’t plan on spending time in the capital city.

Below, I provide a detailed guide on how to get from Khao Sok to Phuket using a range of transportation methods.

Click here if you’re looking for tips on getting to Khao Sok National Park from other Thailand destinations.

There is no public bus from Phuket Airport to Khao Sok National Park .  So from the airport, you’ll either need to take a bus to the Phuket Bus Terminal 2 (not to be confused with Phuket Bus Terminal 1, which is 6km away) in Phuket Town or take a shared or private transfer (see details below).

If taking the bus, just know Phuket Bus Terminal 2 is around an hour’s drive in the opposite direction to Khao Sok – so you are backtracking quite a lot.  

Plus, there is no direct route.  The closest you can take a bus from the airport to Terminal 2 is by taking a bus to Phuket Merlin – which is still 4km from the bus station – so from here, you’ll need to walk or take a taxi.

If you’re already in Phuket, taking the Phuket bus to Khao Sok National Park may be worth your while.  From the Terminal 2 bus station, you take a bus via Khao Lak with a 20 minute stopover in Takua Pa en route to Khao Sok National Park.  The entire journey takes around 4 hours and costs 370 THB per person.

You can book your bus tickets here.

Shared private bus 

A shared minivan departs from Phuket Airport to Khao Sok Village a few times daily, costing around 1000 THB per person.  This trip takes about 2.5 to 3 hours.

If you’re already staying in Phuket, you can arrange a shared minivan to pick you up from your hotel and take you to Khao Sok Village for around 1100 THB per person.  This trip takes about 4 hours.

You can book your shared minivan tickets here.

Private taxi service

The most convenient option for getting from Phuket to Khao Sok, particularly if you have kids and luggage in tow, is to take a private taxi from Phuket directly to your hotel at Khao Sok Village.

From Phuket Airport, a private vehicle will cost around 3000 THB for the car, and the journey will take about 2.5 hours.

From Phuket town, a private vehicle will cost around 3100 THB, and the journey will take approximately 3 to 3.5 hours.

We used Khao Lak Airport Transfers by Mr Ton Taxi – who you can find here on FaceBook .  We paid 2600 THB for a car with two people and highly recommend them (not affiliated with them in any way!).

You can book your private taxi service here.

If the above seems all too complicated and you only have time for a day trip to Khao Sok National Park, then you can book a Phuket to Khao Sok National Park tour.

Click here to view a range of different tour options.

Khao Sok National Park bus stop

If you are coming by public bus or shared minivan to Khao Sok, it’s worth noting that, in most cases, you will be dropped off at the Khao Sok bus stop.  The bus stop is not really a bus station but rather a stop on the main road.

The bus stop is on the junction of the main road and the village’s main street leading up to the National Park. Depending on where your hotel is, it could be a short or fairly long walk.

You can make your way to your hotel either on foot, tuk tuk or by taxi.  However, some hotels will meet you there and transfer you to the hotel for free – so be sure to look first to see if there are any signs for your hotel.

10 Things To Know Before Visiting Khao Sok National Park In Thailand

T ravelers planning a trip to Thailand should consider visiting Khao Sok National Park as part of their itinerary. While it’s easy to spend a full week lounging on the beaches in the Phi Phi Islands (which also offer free things to do for budget travelers) or scuba diving in Koh Tao (home to some of the most beautiful dive sites in the world ), there’s more to discover in the country’s south.

Khao Sok National Park is worth spending a few days exploring, as it's home to some of the most amazing hidden gems in Thailand . Find out more about why it's worth travelers' attention and what to know before going.

Related: Thailand's Dragon Temple Is Real, & Here's How To Get There

Khao Sok National Park Is Located In Southern Thailand

Khao Sok National Park is located in Southern Thailand. It’s on Thailand’s mainland (it’s not an island) and is close to popular destinations like Krabi (which offers plenty of amazing things to do) , Phuket, Khao Lak, and Koh Samui.

Its location near the islands and beaches of Thailand makes it an ideal destination for travelers seeking warmth and sunshine combined with wildlife encounters.

  • To Know Before Going: Khao Sok National Park is located in Phanom District, Surat Thani, Thailand

Related: 10 Things To Do In Pattaya City: Complete Guide To Beaches, Nightlife, & Resorts In Thailand

It’s Easy To Get To Khao Sok National Park From Krabi Or Phuket

Khao Sok National Park is easily accessible from the major hubs in Southern Thailand. Despite the park’s total immersion in the wilderness, travelers can reach it from Krabi in approximately 2 hours or from the the paradise of Phuket in 3 hours.

Buses, minivans, and taxes are all valid transportation options. There is also a night bus each day that stops at Khao Sok National Park.

  • To Know Before Going: Surat Thani International Airport is the closest to Khao Sok National Park

The Park Is Older Than The Amazon Rainforest

It might surprise travelers to learn that the tropical evergreen rainforest within Khao Sok National Park is the remains of what was the oldest rainforest in the world.

This ecosystem is 160 million years old, making it even older than the Amazon Rainforest in South America.

  • To Know Before Going: The park is home to the Rafflesia flower, which is a symbolic flower for Surat Thani Province in Thailand

Related: Thailand Guide: Bucket-List Must-Do Things In Phuket

It’s Home To The Largest Virgin Forest In Thailand

Khao Sok National Park spans 739 square kilometers in Southern Thailand and is also home to the country’s largest virgin forest. A virgin forest is sometimes also called an old-growth forest or a primary forest.

The meaning of this name refers to the fact that the forest had significant growth and life before there was any human interference or disturbance.

  • To Know Before Going: Remember to preserve the forest; take nothing but photos, and leave nothing but footprints

There Are More Than 300 Species Of Birds In Khao Sok National Park

The park is home to 311 species of birds and is a wildlife photographer’s paradise. The size of the bird species within the park varies from large creatures like the Great Hornbill to the petite size of the Common Tailorbird.

Travelers who want to catch a glimpse of the spectacular birds in Khao Sok should pack binoculars, and photographers will want to bring their telephoto lenses.

  • To Know Before Going: Early morning is the best time for bird watching and bird photography. Birds are most active right after they wake up

The Temperature In The Park Remains Stable Year Round (& There Are Two Seasons)

Travelers can count on fairly predictable temperatures in Khao Sok National Park, regardless of what time of year they visit. The average temperature ranges from 24ºC to 31ºC year round.

There are two seasons in Khao Sok National Park. The dry season is from November to February, while the wet season is from April to October. Humidity levels in the air can be high, especially during the dry season. Travelers should pack outerwear accordingly and stay hydrated while they explore Khao Sok National Park.

  • To Know Before Going: These consistent temperatures mean it’s always a good time to visit the park. It’s a great year-round destination

No Tigers Have Been Seen In Khao Sok National Park For Decades

Khao Sok National Park is a destination filled with wildlife, from the massive number of bird species to a range of mammals roaming the rainforest. While the park’s website suggests tigers live there, the reality is that no one has seen a tiger inside the park for decades.

It remains one of the few habitats in Thailand that can support a tiger in the wild, however, so it is probable that tigers live in the park but simply away from the areas frequented by humans.

  • To Know Before Going: Khao Sok National Park is home to 5% of the world’s wildlife species. But within that 5%, only 30% have been officially identified, ensuring there is much more to be discovered inside the park

Elephant Trekking still occurs in many parts of Thailand, and many tourists remain unaware of the harm this causes the animals involved. Avoid elephant trekking tours and tour companies at all costs . This is an unethical practice. Travelers who wish to see elephants in Thailand can encounter them naturally while exploring Khao Sok National Park or visit an ethical elephant sanctuary in Phuket or Chiang Mai.

It’s An Ideal Family-Friendly Destination In Thailand

While it might seem like such a wild and remote destination is suitable only for backpackers who seek thrills and adventure, Khao Sok National Park proudly promotes itself as one of the many family-friendly destinations in Thailand.

Accommodation options are varied and comfortable; plus, many of the guided tours allow participants as young as 4 years old.

  • To Know Before Going: Contact the park before departure or at the time of booking to ensure activities are suitable for children or seniors within the group

Tours In Khao Sok National Park Depart From Most Of Southern Thailand’s Major Hubs

Khao Sok National Park operates some of its own guided tours for travelers who want to join groups or explore the park with an experienced and knowledgeable guide.

The good news is that most of these Khao Sok National Park tours even include getting to the park and offering departures from major hubs like Phuket and backpacker-central Krabi.

  • To Know Before Going: Tours can be booked through the park’s website

Related: This Is How Far You Can Get With $100 USD In Thailand

Visitors Can Camp In Khao Sok National Park Or Stay In A Lodge

While a national park might sound like a place to camp among the trees, Khao Sok National Park offers a variety of accommodation options, so there is something for everyone.

Travelers who are more comfortable sleeping in an enclosed structure rather than a tent can certainly book at luxury resorts in Khao Sok National Par.

  • To Know Before Going: There are many floating eco-lodges, resorts, and treehouse-style rooms to book inside the park.

Day 1  | 1st stage:  Phuket – Phang Nga Trip to the famous Phang Nga Bay in the afternoon 109 km | L included We depart in the morning from the Siam Bike Tours shop in Choeng Thale / Laguna. We load the luggage onto the van, and after bike fittings and the tour briefing, we finally start our ride. After about 30 km we pass the Sarasin Bridge to reach the mainland from where we will take picturesque side roads through tropical landscapes. At Samet Nangshe we will stop at the most amazing viewpoint featuring a popular café. In the afternoon we glide in longboats through a world of stony islets, overgrown with lush green vegetation. The Phang Nga Bay National Marine Park is renowned for its unspoiled mangrove landscape. If you are of a certain age, you may recognize the rock formations from the movie “ The Man with the Golden Gun”, giving the trip its name as the “James Bond Island Tour”.

Day 2  | 2nd stage:  Phang Nga – Khao Sok National Park Canoe trip with paddling guide in the afternoon 102 km | B, L included We twist and turn on a raised road through the jungle, heading towards Thaput. After a nice downhill ride, we reach this sleepy town and have a break. Then we pedal on a quiet and nice rural road to Phanom. The majestic limestone rocks topped with jungle vegetation stay with us today. We finally get into Khao Sok National Park. We move to our bungalows for a refreshing shower. As part of the program, we spend the afternoon exploring the nearby river on a canoe tour. Bizarre limestone rock formations and dense jungle pass us by. The Khao Sok National Park is famous for its huge variety of plants and wildlife.

Day 3  | 3rd stage:  Khao Sok National Park – Khao Lak Relax at the Indian Ocean 65 km | B included Shortly after the start, there is a short ascent that leads us right through the jungle. This short part may be done by bus if you wish to do so. After enjoying a refreshing descent we head towards Takua Pa. We enjoy a nice coffee and refreshments on the panorama terrace of the Khirinara Golf Club. After that, we ride on a beautiful section with varied, tropical vegetation. 3 km before we reach Khao Lak, we do a short picture stop at the Tsunami Memorial. In the afternoon there is plenty of time for swimming and relaxing, with the luxury of both a swimming pool or the sandy beach to choose from.

Day 4  | 4th stage:  Khao Lak – Phuket 96 km | B, L included We follow the main road for 33 km and turn left on a stunning side road near the beautiful coast. After the coffee break, we pass the Sarasin Bridge to cross back onto Thailand’s largest island, Phuket. After lunch, we cycle at a relaxed pace back to Siam Bike Tours Shop and toast our eventful tour.

Phuket to Khao Sok Tour Map

All of our cycling tours will be arranged into small groups and guided by an experienced tour guide.  Our bike tours are suitable for any enthusiastic cyclist in reasonable shape.

The group will determine the riding speed on any stage; faster riders may go ahead together, regrouping at selected refreshment stops with the others. During our tours it is mandatory to wear a helmet.

The Siam Bike Tours minibus will transport all luggage, spare parts, wheels, tools, etc. During all of the rides we will offer water, soft drinks and fresh fruit. If desired, any rider may complete the day’s stage by bus.

The Thai currency is the baht. ATM’s, which are abundant, are the easiest ways to get Thai baht. Have a supply of US dollars in cash on hand, just in case your card doesn’t work. Banks or the rarer private money changers offer the best foreign-exchange rates. Credit cards are accepted in big cities and resort hotels but you’ll need baht for family-run guesthouses or restaurants.

We recommend that you visit a travel medical doctor and ask about the following vaccinations: typhoid, polio, tetanus and hepatitis A. A certificate for Yellow Fever is required when arriving from an infected area within six days.

The rainy season is from July to October, but temperatures are slightly lower, because of the effect of the rain. During this time it will not rain continuously, but in sharp bursts, and the sun can come out quickly. The cooler season is from October to February, with average temperatures between 20˚C/68 F and 30˚C/86 F
