Nature Resort tree houses: Khao Sok Accomodations
by bulldogtwo
Khao Sok is a great national park. We don't do tour companies, we'd rather just do the trip ourselves as it is just as easy. There is a good tree house lodge, you can see pics on my homepage. It is called Nature Resort. As you come down the hill towards the national park you have to take a left hand turn to get to the park itself, take the next left and the Nature Resort is located on the left at the end of the road. They also have a great restuarant. Not taking a left to Nature Resort will take you to the lake and the floating lodges. Natyre resort also is located on the river and they have a ropeswing that is a blast and very refreshing. No leeches. But the monkeys do come down along the river in th early eve. Satying in the tree house you can also hear them going through the trees in the morning as well as the tropical birds, sometimes parrots.
As far as wildlife that will eat you, no. The only thing you should really have to worry about is mosquitos. IF you go during the rainy season, yeah, you could encounter the leeches. Carry some insect repellant to squirt on them and they'll drop off if they attach themselves to you. You won't feel anything, and yeah, they can be gross for those squemish folks, but they are'nt bad. Once they have had enough they drop off. They don't eat you up. I should also say that leeches can really be found anytime of the year, but more encounters during the rainy season. Having said all that, if you are going to worry about all that, well, just don't. Taking in the park is well worth all encounters with leeches or any other wildlife. As I said, you'll be more worried about mosquitos than anything else.
HAVE FUN!
