Full description
This is a 13-hour experience from Phuket, built around Temple Visit at Wat Bang Thong, Cheow Lan Lake Longtail Boat Cruise and Morning Mist Safari. It is run by Delight Tours and Travels, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off, National park entry fee, Guide, Boat trip and Cave visit. It does not cover Snacks, Alcoholic drinks, Tips and Transfer from, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
Board a comfortable air-conditioned van from your hotel in Phuket and relax on the scenic drive toward Phang Nga and Khao Sok. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Delight Tours and Travels before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Traveler Reviews
Lilly was my guide and she was absolutely phenomenal. She delivered our tour with enthusiasm, knowledge, and desire to make sure we all had a good time (and great pictures!). You can tell she loves her job and it was an honour to have her as my guide to Khao Sok. Thank you Lilly!
It was a long day but lots of activities done! First we drove to Khao Sok national park and had boat ride through Cheow Lan lake then stopped for lunch with the option to swim and/or go canoeing. Then we went bamboo rafting which was amazing, going through the jungle hearing all the sounds of nature. After, we visited a monkey sanctuary and then Buathong elephant home before heading back to Phuket. Pro’s: lots of activities, breakfast bag provided (juice, banana bread, biscuits) and lunch included. Con’s: it is a long journey and it took just over 3 hours to get back to Phuket due to traffic.
The trip was fantastic and really interesting. The scenery was amazing and we managed to see a lot in a day. Lily the tour guide was brilliant and full of interesting stories and facts. The driver was great too. Highly recommend this trip. Khao Sok is incredible and definitely worth visiting.
Lilly was the greatest guide! she explained us a lot of details and history about everything. The place and activities were fantastic! I would recommend with no hesitation!
I joined the overnight tour, and I was very satisfied, although there were some changes in the program. I was very happy, as I was the only one joining the 2 days tour, but I was not cancelled. I was together with the group who did a day trip, so my 1st day was like their itinerary, and on the 2nd day I had the rest. The food and the accommodation on the lake was OK for me. The food was enormous actually, so I wasn't hungry at all! The accommodation with the fan only was better than I expected - a little disadvantage was that the toilet and shower were shared - but I didn't mind it, as I came
Very nice tour, highly recommended. Beautiful scenery.
Amazing Day - the boat tour of the Dam was especially great. Bathing the Elephants was also a highlight!
Absolutely amazing, accommodations exceeded expectations, Stella was a fantastic guide, along with all other staff!
Everything was perfect. One tip is, you must take a waterproof backpack and clothes for change. On the lake on a boat it is very wet. Long day, but it's worth it. Many adventures.
This was a marvelous day trip with a lot of options. And the guide, Lilly, was fantastic. She knew the history of the places in detail and was warm and friendly. All the visited places were well prepared, and lunch was formidable.
We had an amazing day! It is nice to have a full day planned out for us, and our guide, Lily, was fantastic.
This was an amazing tour! Our guide Wit was great, everything meet our expectations. We had several delicious snacks on a trip. The only thing I would recommend to improve was lunch - there was a nice soup, stew vegetables, rice, but no meet or fish (maybe I missed it but I didn’t see it at the tables nearby as well). In general, I definitely recommend!
