Khao Sok National Park charges foreign visitors 340 THB per adult and 170 THB per child aged 5 to 11. It is paid in cash, in Thai baht, at the park entrance on the day, once for each day you enter the park. There is no advance ticket and no online ticket; the fee is the ticket.
It is not included in our prices, so bring it in cash. It is the park's money, not ours, and it is the only thing we cannot collect for you.
Three of our five days go inside the park, so the fee applies once on each. Two stay outside the park boundary, so there is nothing extra at all. The full list, with days, times and all-in prices, is below.
The three days that enter the park
Per person, minimum two guests. Hotel pick-up both ways, a local guide, meals as listed, drinking water and insurance are included. The national park fee — 340 THB per adult, 170 THB per child — is cash at the gate and not included.

Ask us on WhatsApp Not sure which price you are looking at, or which day is inside the park? We would rather answer the question than have you guess.
How much it is and how you pay it
For foreign visitors it is 340 THB per adult and 170 THB per child aged 5 to 11, collected in cash, in Thai baht, at the entrance on the day. Thai nationals pay a lower Thai rate.
There is no card machine at a national park gate and no ATM at the pier, so please sort the cash before we pick you up. We say this to every guest and it still catches people out. It is the park's money, not ours. We cannot include it or discount it; it is paid at the gate.
No ticket to buy in advance
People ask whether they need to book a Khao Sok National Park ticket before they arrive. You do not. There is no advance ticket, no online ticket and nothing to book beforehand. The fee is the ticket, paid at the entrance on the day.
Your guide takes the group through together. Hand over the cash, walk through, and the day starts. What you do book in advance is the day itself, with us, by 16:00 the day before.
It is charged for each day you enter the park
You pay it every time you go in, so one day on the lake is one fee and three park days in a week is 1,020 THB per adult, handed over at the gate each time.
If you are putting several days together, our day-by-day plans show which days are inside the park and which are not, and what a Khao Sok tour costs lists every price all in.
