We did the 3D2N rainforest & lake tour package, and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Everything was organized very well and the scenery around Khao Sok was beautiful. Could have spent one extra night there.

Review of Khao Sok Riverside Cottages
Reviewed Mar 18, 2023
We booked a 3 day, two night tour with Khao Sok Riverside Cottages. The location was very relaxing, the food at the restaurant was good and the service was fine. The tour was the highlight of our entire trip to Thailand. We had one night in the floating bungalow on the lake in the national park. It was fantastic. The half a day trek including a decent walk and swim inside a cave.
I would highlight that there are a lot of jungle noises, bangs, large spiders, insects, etc. If you are scared of these, you might not enjoy it. There are mosquito nets inside the rooms which help.
The only downside is the safety on the tour could be improved. There should be more guides and training provided as you have to swim in the cave and the conditions are quite slippery with sharp rocks around. If you were to slip there might not be someone nearby to help.
Overall - highly recommended for the scenery, location and experience.

Nice resort located 15 minutes from the town of Khao sok and the entrance to the national park (free shuttle from the resort). The river was a winner for our kids - shallow and clean water - great entertainment. Bungalows were authentic, clean og good beds. Bathroom was OK, but minimalistic and warm water in the shower was so-so. An upgrade on electricity should help with this in the mest future, as we were told. Kind staff. We liked it!
ATTENTION: The pro AND con of this resort is the nature - our kids loves spiders and snakes, so being able to see beautiful examples all around was a plus. However - bring ear plugs as there is an INTENSE noise after sunset.

This is a wonderful place in the jungle with lovely huts and great food and very attentive staff. You will be spending amazing days in a quiet jungle setting. The cottage also provides good transport links to the village and national park entrance as walking is not recommended. Remember that Khao Sok is one of the wettest places in Thailand, usually the mornings are good and the afternoons rainy. Do take a swim at the beach, it is lovely. Just one point to note - there were some swings at the beach and the ropes made from synthetic material were dissolving and need replacement, don't touch them until this has been done.
Room tip: There is a small very basic shower behind the old restaurant you can use when you leave the village after a half-day trip.

Amazing and calm environment. Beautiful rooms. Incredibly welcoming and friendly staff. Monkeys right outside the rooms drinking from the river. It was just magical.
Lovely food from the restaurant and they have snacks, hygiene products etc available at reception for your convenience. Also were able to access and atm via the shuttle run into the town. Was a 30 minute round trip very convenient.
We could have stayed forever!
Also really recommend the overnight lake stay too. So many activities included and all good is taken care of for you. Also a great way to socialise.

We had a great trip to Khao Sok Riverside Cottages. We booked a 2-day package in advance from home and the whole communication before our trip was already great. Our positive impression continued throughout our stay. The staff at the cottages and the tour guides were very friendly and shared all their knowledge with us. We had a great canoe trip and our jungle hike included bathing in a waterfall. The cottages were kept simple, but with all necessities and very clean. You could hear the jungle noises all night and it was very special. I wished we had stayed a night longer and also gotten to experience the famous lake. Thanks to everyone you made this trip special.
Room tip: Take the extra time, stay 2-3 nights and also visit the lake (you can also spend 1 night there).
