Khao Sok is a forested valley in Surat Thani province, in southern Thailand, and the resort is a short distance from Khao Sok National Park, which is 700 m away. The park is a rainforest area of limestone hills and rivers, and Cheow Lan Lake, a large reservoir, lies within its boundaries. Its setting is forest and hills rather than a beach stay on the coast, so the valley is best known for time spent outdoors, with walks and viewpoints close to the resort.

Nearby sights include the Khao Sok Valley Viewpoint, 1.6 km away, and the Wing Hin waterfall, 1.8 km away, both set in the forest around the valley. The nearest airport is Surat Thani Airport, 72.4 km away, and the journey to the valley is made by road.

A good day could start with a walk in the national park, continue to the valley viewpoint in the afternoon, and end with canoeing, which is among the activities available in the area. Hiking is also possible in the forest around the valley, so the resort works best for guests who want to be outdoors for much of the day, with the park and the forest trails close enough to start early.
