History

This all began in the 1960s when Richard Sandler, a young American, traded the skyscrapers of New York for the lush jungles of Khao Sok. As an ecotourism pioneer, he has spent decades creating a green, authentic alternative to mass tourism. Guests don’t come to Our Jungle Resorts to chill but to immerse themselves in true family adventures. During your two- or three-night stay, you can enjoy guided hikes to stunning waterfalls, visit elephant sanctuaries, face giant spiders on a night safari, go tubing or rafting, and marvel at the wildlife around Cheow Lan Lake, all without a plastic slide or loud music. Here, nature sets the tone!

All-Inclusive & Entertainment – Green, Greener, Greenest!

A Jungle Camp Dedicated to Children

Parents can relax knowing that everything is taken care of. Food is available around the clock, and the excursions are expertly organized. The resorts are especially family-friendly, offering a "Jungle Life Camp" where children can enjoy activities with loving caregivers while parents treat themselves to a massage or challenging trek. Excursions can be tailored to young children. This means the whole family can dive into the jungle and enjoy a stress-free adventure.

Backpacking with Amenities

Crafted from local materials, the treehouses and bungalows are simple yet offer an open, airy feel. The child-friendly team ensures comfort. Services like full board, massage, yoga, and jungle childcare are all available.

Mr. Sandler’s ecotourism model, which began long before the term became popular, ensures that local children can even participate in the Jungle Life Camp for free.

Jungle Life Camp for Children

In the middle of the jungle, your children can be taken care of at the ‘Jungle Life Camp’. There are no televisions or plastic slides here. Instead, for a small fee, children venture into the jungle with supervisors, learn to build shelters, create nature art, or identify insects.

Much of the food at the resorts comes directly from the in-house farm. Familiar burgers and fries are available, while Thai cuisine lovers can indulge in classics like Pad Thai. Homegrown exotic fruits make a fine dessert.

Nature is Busy – You Won’t Be Alone

Khao Sok National Park has become a popular travel destination, so you won’t be alone on your tours. However, Our Jungle Resorts’ owner is working to manage the tourist flows and make additional parts of the jungle accessible to sustainable tourism.

Cheow Lan Lake Accommodations Are Basic

A trip to the stunning Cheow Lan Lake

with its limestone cliffs is a must-do. However, accommodations there don’t match the comfort level of ‘Our Jungle Resorts’. The nature experience makes it worthwhile, but expectations for comfort and service should be adjusted for an overnight stay.

Peak and Off-Peak Seasons for Families

During peak season, a family of four can expect to pay between €240 and €380 per night, including accommodation, full board, and activities such as caving, rafting, and night hikes. Off-season rates drop to around €100 to €145 for families with babies. Babies stay free, and a crib costs €10 per night. However, trips to Cheow Lan Lake are not recommended for babies.

Jungle Activities for Everyone

Families of all sizes will find suitable accommodation at both resorts. From treehouses to jungle bungalows for larger families. The resorts offer an all-inclusive experience with delicious Thai and Western cuisine.

Jungle Life – What Will You Find?

Monkeys
Otters
Elephants
Lizards
Frogs
Spiders
Beetles
Cicadas
Grasshoppers

These are all part of the jungle's ecosystem. You’ll likely spot monkey families playing near the river and hear the jungle’s nightly concert as you fall asleep. The Klong Sok River, running past both resorts, is perfect for swimming.
