We are planning to book the Lakeside Stay and Wild Safari for this coming Saturday and Sunday. However, we are coming from Koh Lanta, and since the day program starts at 9:00 AM on Saturday and transportation from Koh Lanta is only available during the day, we will need to arrive the day before, on Friday. Where would be the best place for us to stay in Khoa Sok?

Loubna , 17 Dec 2024

Hi Loubna, Thanks for reaching out! We'd recommend staying in the Khao Sok city center area (https://maps.app.goo.gl/p9Vzeh1JtWGTw72X9). It’s very convenient, with plenty of restaurants, minimarts, hotels, and coffee shops. Your host can easily pick you up from any hotel in this area for your tour on Saturday. Hope this helps! :)

Hello! I'm looking for a spot to stay and discover Khao Sok National Park. I'm considering booking your tour, but can this be combined with a stay at Runghaf Farm? Unfortunately I can't find a website online to look at the prices and maybe book with them. thank you!

Britt Winnepenninckx, 05 Dec 2024

Hi Britt, Thanks for reaching out! Yes, we do have a combo package that combines both the farmstay and a stay in the rafthouse. You can refer to this link for more details: [https://www.seeksophie.com/experiences/khao-sok-3d2n-farm-to-floating-paradise-l-cooking-class-cheow-lan-lake-adventures-opo503km5w]. The first night will be at the farmstay, and the second night will be spent in the rafthouse on Cheow Lan Lake. It’s a great way to experience both the farm and the stunning natural beauty of the lake. :)

Hi, is Boom hostel included on the free pick-up list?

Gemma, 01 Dec 2024

Yes, Free pick-up from Khao Sok City Center

Hello , it says that If there are fewer than 2 participants, the host may reschedule or refund your booking. what deos it mean? How long before notice if canceled? and what happeneds if I cant reschedule to another date?

NITSAN, 19 Nov 2024

Hi Nitsan, Thank you for reaching out! To clarify, the note on our website regarding "fewer than 2 participants" means that if the minimum number of participants (2 people) is not met for a particular date, the host may need to reschedule the experience or offer a refund. However, the host will try to inform you as early as possible if this happens, and if rescheduling isn’t an option, a full refund will be provided. :)
