In-Depth Information
great fun to feed. The cave and temple itself are rather sacred. You'll see massive candles
flickering and the rumbling of chanting monks if you time it right.
KHAO SOK TOURS
Tours in and around Khao Sok can be up to 50% cheaper when booked at guesthouses or from travel agents
around the park itself. Tours booked from further-afield destinations such as Phuket or Khao Lak will include
higher-priced transport and tour agent commissions.
Sleeping
The road leading into the park is lined with simple, charming guesthouses, all of which
offer a variety of park tours and guide services. We recommend going on a two-day, one-
night trip (2500B per person) to Chiaw Lan where you sleep in floating huts on the lake
and go on a variety of canoe and hiking excursions.
