Fourteen Khao Sok hotels, from treehouses and riverside bungalows in the village by the park headquarters to the two luxury floating resorts on Cheow Lan Lake, ranked with how far each is from the park.
Stay in Khao Sok village, the strip of jungle bungalows and treehouses along the Sok River at the park headquarters, and add one night on Cheow Lan Lake. The village is where the trails, the river, the night safaris and the restaurants are, and most of the village hotels on this list are within about 1.6 km of the headquarters. The lake's floating resorts are a stay of their own, because Ratchaprapha Pier is about 65 km from the village and the rafts are a longtail ride beyond it.
In the village the choice is mostly about the room, from treehouses and stilt bungalows by the river to glamping tents and a few resorts with pools. Two or three nights is the right length, one or two in the village and one on the lake, and the lake rooms sell out first from December to April, so book those before anything else.
