Khaosok Bluesky Hotel

The rooms at Khaosok Bluesky Hotel have air conditioning, and rooms can have a balcony or terrace, a refrigerator and a seating area. Rooms can also have a private bathroom with a shower, toiletries and towels, and a hair dryer for guests who want to use it after a day in the forest.

The double room measures 14 m², sleeps up to two guests and has a double bed and a mountain view, which suits two travellers who want a simple base near the forest.

Free parking is available at the property, and the rooms are non-smoking. Public areas have air conditioning, and there is a terrace where guests can sit outside.

English and Thai are spoken at the property. Rooms can have satellite or cable channels on the TV, a hair dryer, an electric kettle and free bottled water, along with a dining table and a seating area.

Guests arriving by car can use the free parking on site before heading into the national park, and they can have an American breakfast with juice and fruit. The rooms also offer a flat-screen TV and an electric kettle, so guests can make a hot drink in their room after a day on the trails.

Khao Sok (Suratthani) sits in the forested valleys of Surat Thani province in southern Thailand, where rainforest, limestone peaks and a large national park shape the landscape. It draws travellers who want to spend their days among trees and waterfalls rather than on the sand, and it is a quieter base than the islands on the coast. Khaosok Bluesky Hotel stands in the village itself, so the trails and the valley are close at hand.

Khao Sok National Park is 1.8 km from the hotel, and its rainforest trails are the main draw of the area. The Khao Sok Valley Viewpoint, 600 m away, gives a view over the valley, and the Monkey pond, 400 m away, is a local stop in the village. Wat Tham Panthurat, a temple 450 m from the hotel, is another stop nearby, and the Mae Yai waterfall lies 3.2 km away in the forest.

A simple day here combines a walk on the national park trails with the valley viewpoint, then a visit to the monkey pond and Wat Tham Panthurat, both close to the hotel. Guests arriving by car can use the free parking on site before setting out, and the evenings can be spent on the terrace back at the hotel.
