Khao Sok Morning Mist Resort

Can’t fault it, amazing location, 5 mins walk from the jungle. Done the night safari and lake tour. Loads of bars and other kinds of shops 2 mins away. We booked the bungalow with river view, rooms were fine, basic but air con and running shower is all you need as you’ll be on the balcony watching monkeys etc or out in the jungle or bars.

The accommodation is in an amazing environment, surrounded by a jungle near the river. The rooms are well-kept and clean, and we often had a friendly gecko visitor. The staff is pleasant and helpful. I would gladly return on another occasion.

I and my boyfriend visited Khao Sok in December. We booked a lake tour which was arranged by the Khao Sok Morning Mist Resort. During the lake tour, we had a break at 'Puthawan guest house' where 'they gave us' a Kayak to explore the lake which is nearly 60m deep. After some time (around 20-30 minutes) our Kayak started filling with water. It eventually sank and flipped where we lost our valuables. We were in the water (a few meters from the Puthwan guest house) for about 20 minutes using our whistles to get help. No one arrived!! A long tail boat helped us and dropped us at the Puthawan guest house. The worst comes now, our guide started declining the fact the Kayak could sink. They **changed the plug** and **made some changes** in the Kayak tested it for about 10 minutes and claimed that the kayak was safe. Yes! There is still a faulty Kayak at the Puthawan guest house. At one point during the discussion our tour guide (I can disclose his name on request), accepted that there was water inside the Kayak where there should only be air. When we asked him to record this for us, his manager asked him or I believe he decided and left the premises unannounced. We spent the whole evening discussing and still, they were not convinced the Kayak was faulty. The unbelievably irrational person is the manager (she did not tell her identity until the end) who arranges the guides for the tours. She asked us the stupidest questions ever. e.g. "Why we didn't save our valuables when the boat was sinking?" So it is our fault that we lost of belongings. How could she ask that? Note: I know there were some tourists in the long tail boat who took our videos and photos when we were in the water. If you see this post, I would kindly ask you all to help us with the videos and photos that can prove that our Kayak sank and the Kayak was faulty. For us, it is not about getting reimbursed for our lost belongings but about pointing out the false denial of the corrupt staff. Note: I would like to thank Mr. Ekkarat who was very empathic with our experience (unfortunately he couldn't provide us with any proper solution but he stayed late listening to our experience and provided a written report of the whole incident).

Only had an overnight at this resort, but the room was lovely - appreciated the extra care taken to insure that macaques couldn't get into the room! Dinner and breakfast at the restaurant - great food!

This was perfection, having a bungalow near the river and being able to enjoy nature in a way we have never done before. It is important to rent the bungalows near the river, as they will give you not only the relaxing sound of flowing water but also great views of the forest and the monkeys.

Best Value for money you can get! It is a real Thai experience! You live literally in the middle of the jungle in a small bungalow. It’s all basic but it’s all there. And clean. We didn’t have one insect or similar in our room - although it is easily possible for them to get in. Bathroom is kind of outside the house (surrounded by walls walls and roof above) but much better than we expected. Staff is friendly, service is good. They even picked us up in our old resort. If you don’t like the big resorts, this is perfect for you. We stayed with two very young child’s in one room (double bed and single bed) and it worked good! Breakfast not included. Be careful - they don’t refund if you check out early. If we could, we would have stayed much longer!!

Right in the jungle and hotel fitted accordingly, khao sok is beautiful. Fully immersed in the jungle which is really cool, wildlife everywhere. Room clean enough but does have jungle feel, not luxury but nice. Head of house (maybe owner?), spoke perfect English and was very friendly and had a sense me humour, top man.

We did a stop in the Morning Mist Resort between Phuket and Koh Samui and really like it there. The bungalows are in the middle of a garden with many beautiful flowers and also you see there monkeys, frogs and butterflies. The bungalow itself is basic but has two comfortable and clean beds, a fridge and all you need. The only thing is that there is no Wifi in the bungalow itself but only at the cafe/reception area because its such a big area but thats fine anyway because if you are in the jungle then dont stick to your devices ;) The owner is a friendly woman who speaks great English and has a litte cute daughter who also speaks English pretty well. My little daughter loved to play with her! Her son helped all the guests with the luggages and also when we needed help in our room, they immediately did. So great service for only the two of them taking care of the resort! Also they have a little pool to refesh yourself. The best thing about the resort is that you get this jungle vibes with all the noises from the animals and I totally recommend to book a bungalow with RIVER VIEW! And yes, if you dont like moskitos, cockroaches, ants, geckos and all the other insects then just dont go the the national park & jungle at all because of course there you find them - also in your house ;)

Goede uitvalsbasis om de nationale park re bezoeken. We hebben via de hotel ook een overnight lake tour geboekt. Prijs kwaliteit was zeker in orde. Ons hutje was heel eenvoudig maar zeker fijn. We hadden echt een jungle gevoel tussen de mooie tropische tuin, geregeld apen gezien naast ons terrasje. In de omgeving leuke restaurantjes.
