Jungle Trekking in Khao Sok – Guided or Solo? Here’s What You Need to Know 🥾🌴

Ready to explore one of the oldest rainforests on Earth? Trekking through Khao Sok National Park is a true jungle adventure — giant bamboo, waterfalls, rare wildlife… and maybe a gibbon call echoing through the trees.

🌿 With a Guide (Recommended for First-Timers)
– Join a half-day or full-day trek with local guides who can spot plants, insects, and hidden animals you would never notice
– Most tours include river swims, cave visits, and lunch
– Booking is easy via Trip.com – check for options starting from Khao Sok village or floating resorts

🗺️ Without a Guide (DIY Trekking)
– Stick to marked trails around the main park entrance
– You’ll find Ton Kloi Waterfall trail or the Wing Hin Nature Trail, both scenic and accessible
– Buy your park ticket at the ranger station and pick up a free map

🐾 What to Bring
– Long pants, insect repellent, waterproof shoes
– Refillable water bottle, snacks, poncho (in rainy season)
– Respect nature: no loud music, no feeding animals

🌧️ Best Season: November to April (dry season), but trekking is possible all year
