Baan Khaosok Resort

Best place we have stayed in Thailand. Baan Khao Sok is everything we wanted from our trip. Family run, beautiful surroundings, authentic treehouses, welcoming and relaxing. The whole atmosphere here is amazing. You really feel like you're in the jungle yet still only a short walk to the town where there are lots of restaurants. Right on the riverside as well. They helped us when our tour fell through and I hadn't realised I could have booked all my tours through them. Next time we will definitely go through them. They know the local providers and helped us to avoid a seemingly ethical elephant sanctuary which had been sold to us, instead helping to link us up with a genuinely ethical project run by locals. We love the whole area and if/when return wouldn't hesitate to book here again.

Very nice host helped us with all further arrangements. Magic place in the middle of jungle and 200m from main street with shops and restaurants. Highly recommended for short stay. One can feel like in jungle heaven when wake up.

We’ve just left Baan Khao Sok after a fantastic action packed two night stay. I was so apprehensive when booking a trip to Khao Sok as there were so many places available and not knowing where the best areas were or if they would be okay for children (we have an 8 & 12 yr old). I ended up reserving 3 different places and then finally taking a chance on Baan Khao Sok and cancelling the other two when the free cancellation period was up! I can tell you I made the right choice. It was absolutely fantastic. It’s a family run business and Polly made us feel so welcome. She organised the transfer from Phuket for us, all the trips and answered all my questions about where to eat! We were so close to all the activities and saw monkeys running around by the river in the first 10 minutes of arrival! I can’t recommend this place enough. We did the tubbing down the river (great fun!), night safari (so many creatures, lizards, frogs, spiders, snakes and scorpions), one day day trip to the lake (beautiful) and the best thing of all the ethical Khao Sok elephant sanctuary (no bathing with elephants). I will write a separate review about that. The accommodation we stayed in was a tree house lodge with aircon. We spent all day out so really only used the place for showering and sleeping which was clean and had everything we needed. My son highly recommends the rope swing outside and his favourite part of the trip was swinging off it into the river!
