We stayed at the Baan Khao Sok Resort in April 2009.

We searched Khao Sok accommodation on the Internet in Khao Lak, as this was our intended next destination, and did not manage to find any options that looked very appealing. However, in a travel agent in Khao Lak, actually on Bang Niang Beach Rd, Bang Niang, we saw a wall photo display of Baan Khao Sok Resort, and though their new Tree-house bungalows looked good. So we booked them and a taxi to take us from Khao Lak to Khao Sok.

The resort is located just off the Khao Sok National Park road, probably about a kilometer from the park entrance. The Baan Khao Sok Resort is one of the first accommodation options you come to on Khao Sok National Park road, and there are many more bungalows and lodges along the road as you get closer to the national park entrance.

We paid 1200 baht per night accommodation, and stayed for a total of 4 nights. This, we felt was quite expensive for a non air-conditioned bungalow, but there were no aircon options in Khao Sok at all. The tree houses were never new, and and interesting and novel experience!

Sitting up high in the tree made for a very peaceful time, and we could see some interesting bird and tree life we would otherwise probably have missed. Bieng built around a tree, there was a few gaps and crevices, and as a result we got a few visits from bugs and lizards, but nothing to worry about. The bathroom, in particular, with a tree passing right through the room, and with the removable shower-head attached to it, was really getting close to nature!

The bed was comfortable, and has a good mosquito net. lighting was good, and the tree house had excellent windows that opened up nicely to pickup the light breeze, and make air conditioning unnecessary.

We enjoyed our stay at Baan Khao Sok Resort very much, and would recommend it to others. It is perfectly suited to visitors to Khao Sok National Park, as it has a lovely close to nature feel.

I will post again shortly, with some more information on the grounds, the restaurant and the wonderful service!
