Khao Sok Nature Resort in Khao Sok

Khao Sok Nature Resort is truly heaven on earth.
The tree houses offer the ultimate glamping experience — all the comforts you could want, including air conditioning and a private en-suite bathroom, while being completely immersed in nature. Falling asleep surrounded by the sounds of the forest and waking up to lush greenery is simply magical.

Breakfast is included, and the resort also offers lunch and dinner between 12:00 and 8:00 pm, making it easy to relax and enjoy your stay without worrying about logistics. Activities can be booked directly through the resort, and our absolute highlight was the elephant sanctuary experience — without question one of the best days of our entire holiday.

Everyone at Khao Sok Nature Resort is incredibly friendly, kind, and welcoming, which makes the experience even more special. The atmosphere is peaceful, authentic, and deeply restorative.

Highly recommended — this place is not just a resort, it’s an unforgettable experience.

It is a bit of a novelty to stay in a tree house, but we found our tree house to be very well suited to us. It had a proper toilet and shower, and electricity. The food served in the restaurant wasn't great, but it was adequate. The staff at the reception were very friendly. Sleep quality wasn't the best due to the heat and lack of air conditioning, but it was what we expected as we didn't think there would be air conditioning. All in all, a great setting and a very nice room.

Authentic Nature Experience with Excellent Service

## Overview
This jungle resort delivers exactly what it promises: an authentic jungle experience where you can watch monkeys, birds, and butterflies from your own terrace. Each unit is elevated a few meters above ground to safely separate guests from the wildlife below.

## Pros & Cons
### Pros
- Authentic jungle wildlife viewing from your terrace
- Excellent, personalized service from mgr/owner Mr. Tee & team
- Secluded location away from tourist crowds
- Unique elevated accommodation design
- Helpful assistance with local excursions and transportation

### Cons
- Inconsistent room quality (luck of the draw)
- Unpaved access road can be bumpy
- Potential power outages (though quickly resolved)
- Basic rooms lack proper windows

## Final Verdict
We were very satisfied with our stay at this jungle resort. The combination of genuine wildlife experiences, great hospitality, and peaceful jungle setting made for a memorable visit. While room quality varies, the overall experience and service quality make this a recommended choice for those seeking an authentic nature retreat.

## Location & Setting
The resort sits 800 meters from the main road via an unpaved, bumpy access road. While this might seem inconvenient, it's actually a major advantage - you're completely removed from the crowded, touristy entrance street of Khao Sok National Park. The secluded location creates a genuine nature retreat atmosphere.

## Accommodation Quality
Room quality varies significantly depending on which unit you're assigned. Our family of four stayed in two different rooms (both were standard rooms with queen size bed at same price) with notably different standards:
- **Parent's room**: Beautiful wooden interior, proper bathroom, and real windows (picture attached)
- **Kids room**: More modest furnishings with shutters instead of windows

Your experience will largely depend on which specific room you receive.

## Service Excellence
Mr. Tee, the owner/manager, provided exceptional hospitality throughout our stay. When we had booked a lake boat excursion without transportation, he arranged for his nephew to drive us there - even though he offers competing excursions himself. This thoughtful gesture exemplified the genuine care and support we received.

For future guests, I'd recommend booking transportation through Mr. Tee rather than pre-booking through services like 12Go, as he offers competitive rates with personalized support.

## Practical Considerations
We experienced a power outage during our first night, making it uncomfortably warm without air conditioning in the jungle humidity. However, electricity was restored by morning and remained stable for the remainder of our stay. Sleeping in an air-conditioned jungle hut is far more comfortable than without power.

If you want nature here it is. The staff was very friendly and the food was cheap and very good. The tours were well organized and very flexible.
The room was basic but everything you need. Not a lot of water pressure and a couple of ants in the room but the fly net was a life saver.
The only thing was more fans at breakfast, would keep fruit flies away better.
Would come again!

Extreme experience. If you like to stay in the middle of the jungle with all plus and minus this hotel is good for you. Some houses are good some other are in bad conditions. Humidity, insects water coming and going. It's an experience.

We stayed 1 night to try something different in Khao Sok. The tree house was lots of fun and you can see monkeys, frogs, snakes and geckos. The restaurant was lovely and all of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Only downside is that I am used to soft beds, the beds in the tree house are very very hard. A very unique and a once in a lifetime experience.
