Why Choose a Nature Resort in Khao Sok?

- Stay in Treehouse accommodations nestled in the forest canopy
- Wildlife encounters right outside your door
- Ethical, local-led adventures and activities
- A strong commitment to sustainability and community
Our 3-Night Jungle Itinerary
We visited Our Jungle House in April as part of a couple’s trip to celebrate my 50th birthday. From the moment we arrived, the resort delivered peace, wildlife, and meaningful experiences, tucked away in the lush rainforest of Khao Sok, it felt worlds apart from the hustle and crowds of mainstream destinations like Krabi, Khao Lak, or Phuket, yet it was still easily accessible within just a two-hours drive.
Day 1: Arrival & Bamboo Rafting
Our stay began with a tranquil bamboo rafting trip along the Klong Sok River. This traditional Thai method of transportation was the perfect way to ease into jungle life. Surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and untouched rainforest, we instantly felt the magic of Khao Sok National Park.
Day 2: Elephant Sanctuary, Spa & Night Safari
The next day, my birthday, started with a lovely surprise from the resort staff: a handmade card and a very creative birthday cake made from local fruits.
Morning: Ethical Elephant Sanctuary Visit
We visited a family-run elephant sanctuary supported by the resort. Our guide, Charlie, introduced us to a 20-year-old elephant we bathed, fed, and walked beside like a friend. Her gentle personality and playfulness made the experience feel more like time with a beloved pet than a wildlife encounter.
Afternoon: Jungle Spa & Bamboo Cooking
After a relaxing massage in the resort’s treehouse spa, we joined Chai, another wonderful guide, for a bamboo cooking class. He cooked green curry, vegetables, and rice using only bamboo over an open flame - a true taste of traditional jungle life.
Evening: Jungle Night Safari
That night, Chai took us deep into the rainforest for a guided night safari. Armed with flashlights, we saw pit vipers, exotic insects, monkeys, and even a majestic gold-ringed mangrove cat snake. It was exhilarating -equal parts thrilling and humbling.
Bonus: Jungle Life Camp Presentation
Later that evening, we joined an optional talk by Don from the Jungle Life Camp - an educational initiative run by the resort. He shared fascinating insights into the park’s biodiversity, the history of Cheow Lan Lake, and the resort’s role in local conservation.
Don’s mix of humour, photos, and interactive games made it one of the most unexpectedly delightful parts of our trip.
Day 3: Floating Bungalows on Cheow Lan Lake
The final leg of our journey was an overnight stay on the stunning Cheow Lan Lake, arranged entirely by Our Jungle House.
- Transport & Trek: A morning bus and a short jungle hike (with a bat cave adventure!) led us to a longtail boat across the lake.
- Floating Bungalows: Simple but beautiful floating huts with direct lake access.
- Free Time: We swam, kayaked, and lounged on floating logs under the sun.
- Wildlife Cruise & Dinner: Our evening included a group dinner and a longboat tour to spot monkeys and wild boars before stargazing in total digital silence.
