Coffee, Tea and Snacks are served throughout the day, and evenings can be spent at Our Jungle Bar with a refreshing Cocktail or Mocktail until late.
Can we pay our remaining balance by credit card?
Upon checking out, please pay the balance of your expenses with cash. We apologize if our cash-only policy is inconvenient to our guests. However, Khao Sok is a cash-based community, meaning all services paid to the locals, for example, our guides, food providers, drivers, and etc. are in the form of cash. And since the nearest bank is an hour’s drive away, it makes sense to implement the cash-only policy.
In the case where you need to pay us via PayPal or credit card or via internet banking, a 4% handling fee is imposed.
Are the room and activity prices inclusive of tax?
Room and activity prices shown on the website DO NOT include the 7% VAT government tax. All food, drinks, tours, and accommodation are subjected to an additional 7% government VAT tax which will be added to your bill upon check out.
Do you have a parking area?
We have a gravel, uncovered parking area located before the reception area. Upon arrival, please drive to the reception area to unload your luggages and check in.
I've made a deposit but our plans have changed, is it possible to change our booking date?
We would like to accommodate your request but there is a cancellation policy that we follow. Please read more: here
Can we walk around the Khao Sok village or is it too far?
We are located 900 meters from the Khao Sok Town. It is walkable and takes approximately 15 - 20 min depending on your walking pace.
Do I need to make advanced bookings for activities now, or can book when I arrive?
Most of our tours and activities can be booked upon arrival. However, for Overnight Cheow Lan Lake tours, bird-watching and Khao Sok Jungle Camping trips, you are advised to make the bookings in advance to enable us to arrange for guides and to deal with logistics.
We are travelling with small children, are we able to do the Cheow Lan lake trip?
The youngest guests we have had on Overnight Lake Trips have been 2 to 3 years old but we usually recommend Full Day Trips for families with younger children or Private Overnight Trips for families. We have life jackets specifically for children available at Our Jungle House´s reception, please request them one day prior to your Cheow Lan lake departure.
I am travelling from/to Bangkok, what is the best way to get to Khao Sok?
The easiest and most convenient way from/to Bangkok to Khao Sok is either fly to Surat Thani Airport or take the train to Phunpin Station, you can find detailed travel instructions on our Getting to Khao Sok page.
What is the closest airport to Our Jungle House in Khao Sok?
Surat Thani Airport is the closest airport to Our Jungle House in Khao Sok, However, you can also check flight options for Krabi International Airport. The journey from Krabi to Khao Sok is only about 30 minutes longer than the Surat Thani-Khao Sok journey. But Krabi has more connecting flight options, which may better suit your travel plans.
After our Cheow Lan Overnight Lake Trip, we would like to go to Koh Tao, Koh Samui or Koh Phang Ngan, will that be possible?
All ferries to Koh Tao, Koh Samui or Koh Phang Ngan leave Surat Thani at or before 16:00. The only way to get to the Surat Thani piers on time is to use our private transfer. We will bring your luggage with us when we pick you up from the Cheow Lan lake pier to go directly to Surat Thani.
