Elephant Hills - Khao Sok

David Garner

What an amazing place!! Had a 2 night stop here while travelling through the country. On our first afternoon We took part in the guided kayaking where we saw snakes, monkeys and very large spiders along the river. We then went on to see the elephants and learn about them. Absolute highlight of the whole trip. We made up a basket of food for them and hand fed them it. You can stroke them as much as you like all while being carefully supervised by their keepers. Second day we did the boat trip to the lake camp where we loved the swimming paddle boarding and self kayaking. The final morning we trekked through the local forest learning lots about the forest and its inhabitants. A recent group of wild elephant had been through close to camp. The food and accommodation are great as is the pool for a dip after a busy day. The tents can get congested the more beds you have as they appear to be the same size whether there is 2 or 4 of you. A special thanks to Ing our guide for the stay who was very knowledgeable and funny.

What a SPECTACULAR time we have had. Our guide Nong was with us for the full 4 days which allowed her to get to know her group of 4 families. She was informative and extremely kind and relaxed to be around. We travelled each day to different parts of the park so really got to see a huge area. The elephants were wonderful! I'd have visited them every day! They enjoyed their feed of really great food that we all prepared for them. The tents were fantastic and the lake camp was such a highlight. I would HIGHLY recommend this. Food here was even more delicious with the sounds of the jungle a non stop background noise. The carp surrounding the camp were a highlight for my son our kids loved swimming with them. Our kids 12 & 14 have memories for a life time. We even got a wee special Happy Anniversary welcome... it's the little things😁💕❤️

One word amazing! We went with the family for the 2 day package. Everything is super organized and staff was fantastic. Also it is very nice to see how good they take care of the elephants. Feeding the elephants is a unique experience. Sleeping is in luxurious tents. They have almost the same comfort as hotel rooms (except for the airco). Food, drinks, activities ... we enjoyed everything from the beginning till the last minute.

A jungle experience. Do t expect activities to start from the lodge - this is a base in the national park and you transfer to the activities. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly. I personally felt the photo opportunity with the elephants (before you feed them) was not as ethical as the rest of the experiences. I think it's better to have a shorter time there and observe them in their natural habitat

Our stay at Elephant Hills was absolutely incredible, combining adventure, nature, and ethical wildlife experiences in the most breathtaking setting. The highlight was undoubtedly spending time with the elephants—watching them roam, feed, and bathe up close in a responsible and ethical environment was truly unforgettable. It’s clear they are well cared for, and the conservation efforts here are inspiring. After our time at the main camp, we had the amazing opportunity to stay at the floating lake camp, which was an experience like no other! Waking up surrounded by the still, misty waters of Cheow Lan Lake, with nothing but the sounds of nature, was pure magic. Kayaking on the lake, swimming in its crystal-clear waters, and soaking in the stunning limestone cliffs made this stay one of the most peaceful and unique experiences we’ve ever had. The accommodations were fantastic—comfortable luxury tents in the heart of nature, with excellent food and warm hospitality from the staff. The entire trip was seamlessly organized and packed with unforgettable moments, from jungle treks to canoeing through mangroves. If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, Elephant Hills & the Floating Lake Camp are an absolute must!
