We often get asked what you can do in Khao Lak. The answer is that there are two things you should do while here. One thing is to see the Similan Islands National Park, the other is to see Khao Sok National Park. Khao Sok is the biggest National Park of southern Thailand.
There is plenty of wildlife in the National Park. There are also tigers in the park, but ou will never get close enough to see them (...and maybe you don't want to).
The entry to the nationalpark is about 60 km from Khao Lak. There are a nubmer of operators arranging one- and two day trips to Khao Sok. It is also ossible to arrange accommodation at the National Park entry for those of you who wants to stay longer.
Prices are still not available for the 2010-2011 season, but a day trip to Kaho Sok will be about 4500 Baht. An overnight trip will cost about 8500 Baht.
If you prefer to travel by your self, a bus ticket to Khao Sok costs 100 Baht. A taxi to Khao Sok is about 1000 Baht, one way. There are several cheap bungalows near the entrance to the national park.
