Khao Sok National Park has got to be one of my favorite places in Thailand. Located deep in the forest of Surat Thani, it is home to the breathtaking Cheow Lan Lake (Khao Sok Lake) and many awesome hiking trails. It is the place I always suggest to anyone who is visiting Thailand for the first time.

One of the main highlights of visiting Khao Sok is taking a long-tail boat into Cheow Lan Lake (Khao Sok Lake) and spend a night in one of the many floating bungalows where you will be able to disconnect from the world (literally, as there is no cell service inside) and be among nature for a few nights.
