  • In this video we travel to Khao Sok National park - the most beautiful place in the whole of Thailand.
    I give my opinion about how to experience the park. I have seen lots of advice about the park from other TH-camrs that make the site out to be a difficult to reach, exclusive location. And what's more they usually skip the jungle part of the park, choosing to focus on the more glamourous lake location.
    In this video I want to show you how to REALLY experience the park. I will also give advice about how to get there, where to stay, and what to look out for when visiting

    another great video Jack - always you have the full story of a place you feature, and it's just stunning. Hadnt heard of this place, but looks highly rewarding and definitely will need to remember it the next time I get to Thailand. thanks for sharing

    Hi! We're booking our trip to Thailand. Could you enlighten us on how you arrived at Our Jungle Houses, transportation wise? We're doing some research on how to get there but we don't see much info.
    Thanks for helping us out, great video by the way! We can't wait to visit Khao Sok ourselves in May.

      Hi there, when i went I flew into Surat Thani airport and then there was a shuttle bus running to Khao Sok. They will then drop you off at the hotel. Pretty much every airport has this service in Thailand

    Now this is most definitley my kind of spot!! Nothing better than exploring the fascinating natural landscapes to have a closer look! I love the colour composition of these videos too, you obviously take such great care when it comes to editing! Coming across all those animals certainly would have been my highlight!

    Love the video. You reviewed how to get to the park. What are the transportation options to leave the park, if you want to go Phuket, Krabi, or to the Surak Thani airport after a visit to Khao Sok?

    • @BangkokJack858
      @BangkokJack858  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks. You can get pretty much much anywhere from there. You can check 12go Asia if you want to buy tickets online beforehand, however it's likely that your hotel in khao sok will be able to arrange for a minivan pick up in the morning to take you (and others) to your next stop

    • @BangkokJack858
      @BangkokJack858  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, you can camp (or glamp) at places like this. You don't even need to bring a tent you can usually rent one. Watch out for snakes, elephants, bears etc though!

    Great video to show you can have a great time enjoying nature without breaking the bank. Do you have any further information on the buses that run from Phuket airport to Khao sok? We'll be visiting in October 2022 and haven't had any luck with finding much about buses from our search. Thanks again for the awesome video - subscribed.

    • @BangkokJack858
      @BangkokJack858  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey, it looks like they run 2 buses per day. One at 9am and again at 3pm. If you can't get one of these I would either spend a night in a hotel near the airport (maybe bangtao beach) and try and get one the next day. Otherwise you can probably get a private car for a few thousand baht

      @@travelonward1 Sorry are you talking about the lake hotel? I assumed you were talking about Our Jungle House. I would contact the lake hotel directly and try to speak to someone there. I'm sure you can extend your stay, but most people probably come as part of the package deal so that's what they'll advertise. Its better for them if you stay longer so I'm sure you'll be able to.
