Location & what to see
Khao Sok (Suratthani) sits in the hills of Surat Thani province in southern Thailand, where limestone karst and rainforest cover much of the land. Most of the land around the park is hilly and rural, with mountains rising from the valley floor. Khao Sok National Park itself covers a large area of rainforest, so guests can spend a whole day exploring it. Painting Family Hostel is 250 m from Khao Sok National Park, so the forest is the main reason most travellers come to the area.
Inside the park, the rainforest trails, the limestone cliffs and Cheow Lan lake are the main draws. The Khao Sok Valley Viewpoint is 2.1 km away, and Wing Hin waterfall is at a similar distance, so a day can take in both the views and a waterfall.
Surat Thani Airport is 72 km away, so many guests arrive by road and use the free car park. A day in the national park, with a walk through the forest and a stop at the viewpoint, is a good way to start a trip here, and the park's entrance area is a short distance from the property. Boat trips on Cheow Lan Lake are another popular way to see the karst cliffs from the water.
