Encompassing 285 square miles in the Surat Thani province, Khao Sok National Park is the most popular national park in southern Thailand. The main attraction is Cheow Lan Lake, but there are also several beautiful waterfalls and caves. The park's trail system is typically quite difficult for visitors to navigate on their own, but guides can be hired through one of the agencies near the park's visitors center. There are also a number of guesthouses in this area for those who want to explore the park on a day trip, but some tour companies offer multi-day guided tours with overnight accommodation in the jungle.
