Khao Sok National Park and its breathtaking landscapes, shaped by nature millions of years ago, is one of them. Its tropical rainforest is reputed to be one of the oldest in the world, born before the Amazon, and is still home to many wildlife species, including Malay bears, clouded leopards and Asian elephants. 

A true invitation to discover an abundant nature that stretches on both sides of a huge reservoir surrounded by equally spectacular karst peaks. The park alone has no less than 200 floral species, making it one of the most biologically diverse areas (the average forest in Europe or North America has only about 10 species of trees per hectare). It is home to the Rafflesia kerrii (Thai for bua phut), the largest flower in the world, which can reach 90 cm in diameter and weigh 7 kg. 

It is in this green and wild setting that your lodge is nestled where you can, from sunrise to sunset, enjoy a spectacular view of the surrounding countryside. In inflatable buoys or bamboo rafts, you will let yourself be carried away by the current of a river crossing the jungle, to the sound of its strange noises. 
 
In the evening, at dinner, you will learn how to grill meat wrapped in palm leaves over an open fire, discover how bamboo can be used to boil water and cook soups, and how to combine fresh ingredients to create a unique taste sensation. Environmentally friendly, healthy and delicious. Night at your hotel.

Cheow Lan Lake, is known for its deep waters with colors turning in some places to emerald green, its limestone karsts seeming to gush out of the water and its luxuriant jungle, how not to linger there while sleeping on one of the floating hotels that made its reputation? Between swimming and canoe kayak trips, you will set off on a hike to reach the coral cave, which owes its name to the curious limestone formations that form on the stalactites of the cave and which make you think of coral branches.
