Location & what to see
Khao Sok lies inland in Surat Thani province, in southern Thailand, a landscape of limestone cliffs and rainforest around the national park. The hostel is 750 m from the park, so the setting is forest rather than town, and the rooms look out over garden or mountain views. Khao Sok is inland, away from the coast, so the surroundings are forest and valley rather than seaside, and the park is the main reason to be in the area.
Around the hostel, the forest holds waterfalls and viewpoints. Wing Hin waterfall is 1.7 km away and the Khao Sok Valley Viewpoint is 1.6 km off, giving views over the valley. Mae Yai is another waterfall in the area, Wat Tham Panthurat is a temple nearby, and Monkey Hole is a local landmark a few hundred metres away. Another viewpoint over the valley lies close by as well.
A typical day can start in the park, continue to a waterfall and end back at the hostel for the evening. Surat Thani Airport is 72.4 km away and Phuket International Airport is further still, so the journey in from either airport is the longest part of the trip. It is worth timing the arrival around the check-in window of 14:00 to 21:00.
What guests say
Travellers rate the cleanliness and the location highest, at 9.6 each, and the value for money and the service also score 9.5.
