We are staying in Khao Sok,is there the optiom to have the pick up from there? Also, is there any chance to arrange a transportatiom to Puket at the end of the tour, please? Thanks

Hi Simona,
Thanks for reaching out! For the private trip, you'll have the option of either the deluxe room or the family room, both of which come with private bathrooms. Just a note that the hut option includes a shared bathroom.
Regarding transportation, you can choose the pick-up option from Khao Sok under the add-ons, and we can also help arrange transportation to Phuket at the end of the tour. Just include under "notes" during your booking to inform our host.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
We will be heading straight to Surat Thani from the pier at the end of the tour. Are we able to take all of our luggage with us to the raft house? As we won’t have anywhere else to leave it. Thank you
