About this tour
Discover the natural beauty and wildlife of Khao Sok on a full-day adventure combining responsible elephant observation with an evening jungle experience in Khao Sok National Park.
Your journey begins with hotel pickup from Khao Lak and a scenic drive toward Khao Sok. At the elephant experience, learn about elephant behavior, care, welfare and the challenges surrounding elephant tourism in Thailand. Observe the elephants respectfully as they move through their environment under the care of their mahouts. The experience is observation-focused, with no riding, bathing, touching or guest feeding.
After the elephant experience, continue toward Khao Sok National Park with a stop at the local temple before entering the rainforest. Join your guide on a jungle walk through the tropical landscape and explore the area around Wing Hin Waterfall.
As daylight begins to fade, continue through the forest with your guide and look for wildlife that becomes more active around dusk and after dark. Depending on natural conditions, you may have the chance to see monkeys, reptiles, birds, insects and other rainforest wildlife. Wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Finish the evening with a Thai set dinner before travelling back to your hotel in Khao Lak.
This Khao Sok experience combines elephant education, rainforest exploration, local culture and wildlife watching in one memorable day from Khao Lak.
