Khao Sok is a great place for a memorable family vacation and it’s here families can find adventure and beauty. In this article you can find the top 5 things to do in Khao Sok with kids.
Explore Cheow Lan Lake
You can’t visit Khao Sok with kids without discovering Cheow Lan Lake. Take a scenic long-tail boat ride through the waters and marvel in the beautiful limestone cliffs. Kids and adults will enjoy keeping an eye out for wildlife, like birds, monkeys, boar and even an Asian elephant.
You can choose to day trip on the lake or stay overnight. Kids will enjoy waking up in a floating bungalow on the water. It’s here you can enjoy the breathtaking views and even swim in the warm lake waters. Accommodations such as the Praiwan Raft House offer these very amenities.
Hike Through the Rainforest
Take a self or guided tour through the rainforest. There are many trails that cater to various skill levels so even the youngest kids can participate. With a guided tour kids can learn about the flora and fauna and find bugs and butterflies. If you’d rather walk at your own pace you can enter the park and walk the trails without a guide as well.
Khao Sok National Park is a haven for nature lovers, and a guided trek through its rainforest is an excellent way to introduce kids to what resides there. Hiking trails are available for all skill levels, ensuring that even small children can join in. Knowledgeable guides allow kids to learn about the park’s many flora and fauna, spot colourful butterflies, and listen to all the sounds of the forest.
See Elephants at the Khao Sok Elephant Sanctuary
Visiting an ethical elephant sanctuary is not only a memorable experience but an educational one. The Khao Sok Elephant Sanctuary provides a safe environment for rescued elephants from across Thailand. Children can view these magnificent animals up close, observe their natural behaviour, and participate in activities like feeding and bathing them. Knowledgeable guides will educate your family about the importance of conservation and the ethical treatment of animals. Our Jungle Camp in Khao Sok National Park can arrange such tours for you when you stay with them.
Discover Thailand’s Caves
The cave system in Khao Sok is world renowned, and kids will love exploring these caves. Equipped with helmets and headlamps you can venture into The Nam Talu Cave and navigate through narrow passages viewing stalagmites. This adventure is sure to leave your children with a sense of excitement and discovery.
