How many days is enough for Khao Sok?

Spending 2 to 3 days in Khao Sok National Park is ideal for experiencing the park’s main attractions, including Cheow Lan Lake, trekking through the rainforest, and spotting wildlife. This allows enough time for a boat tour on the lake, a hike to one of the park’s stunning viewpoints, and a visit to limestone caves

If you're interested in more activities like cave exploration, kayaking, or staying overnight in a floating bungalow on the lake, you may want to extend your stay to 4 or 5 days.

Is Khao Sok worth it?

Yes, Khao Sok National Park is absolutely worth visiting. It is one of the most stunning natural areas in Thailand, with its ancient rainforests, limestone cliffs, and Cheow Lan Lake being the main highlights. 

The park is home to a rich variety of wildlife, including elephants, monkeys, and exotic birds, making it a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Activities such as trekking, canoeing, and wildlife spotting offer unforgettable experiences. 

Can you do Khao Sok in a day?

While it’s possible to visit Khao Sok National Park in one day, you would only have time for a brief overview of the park. A popular option for day trips is a boat tour on Cheow Lan Lake, which includes stunning views of the surrounding limestone cliffs and visits to caves.

However, if you want to fully explore the park, including activities like hiking, wildlife spotting, and visiting the park’s lesser-known areas, staying for at least 2 days is highly recommended.
