Hi there! I'm planning to book '3D2N Khao Sok Farmstay + Rafthouse + Boat Trip'. I'll be landing in Surat Thani airport around 1100 but I understand you don't have a pick up service from the airport? Is there any other way I could meet you before 2pm or is there a possibility of arranging a pick up service from Surat Thani airport?

Mitch, 24 Jan 2025

Hi Mitch, Thanks for reaching out! You can absolutely add on a Round-trip private transfer to/from Surat Thani Airport, Train Station, or Surat Thani Town for your convenience. This way, our host can arrange a pick-up directly from the airport and ensure a smooth transfer to the location before 2 PM. However, if you’d like us to confirm if this is possible, could you please share the date you're looking at and the number of participants by emailing us at chat@seeksophie.com? Thank You!

Hi there! I'm interested in booking your 2N3D overnight at the lake trip. :-) I'm travelling alone and was wondering if you also offer transfer from Khao Sok town. I land in Surat Thani on 01/02 at 12(noon). Is this still okay to get a transfer to you, or will it be too late? I was thinking about spending the night somewhere in khao sok town and heading out to you the next day. Just wondering how to get there .. :-) Thank you so much for the answer!

Hi Britt, Thanks for reaching out! Currently, we only offer join-in transfers from the resort to Surat Thani Airport, but unfortunately, we don't yet have a transfer service from the airport to the resort due to limited resources. However, we can pick you up from Khao Sok Bus Stop if you’re able to make your way there. Check-in is at 2 PM, and the cooking class starts around 4 PM, so it would be ideal if you could arrive at the bus stop by 3:30 PM. :)

Your question would be very useful to the rest of the travel community!
