Wort every bath spent, professionally organised beautiful locations. - Overall impressed: by the organisation, timings, food, transport, driver and our guide. We had enough time to enjoy all the places, stopped at some extra locations and got to know plenty of interesting things about different locations. In May we were small group so it was very pleasant and chilled experience. Totally recommend, for the next tour I would choose this agency again! Thank you!

Well worth it! - Everything went really well. Pick up on time. Our guide, Joe Joe, was very good at always explaining what was happening next at what time. Our timing was excellent all round as we missed the crowds at each location. Highly recommended.

A must do trip - Great trip! Although there is quite a bit of driving it is definitely worth it to see some beautiful areas of Thailand.

Amazing, go for it! - As someone who gets car sick, I was anxious about this trip but it was amazing. Oil, our fantastic guide, made sure I sat front and centre and didn't mind that I put in headphones and dropped off...all the while she answered my husband's questions about everything. She even shared her breakfast with us 🥹 the driver was also fantastic, getting us around safely and smoothly. Our small group of 6 went to the Emerald Pool and then to the Lake. Both were gorgeous and we were there before the crowds. We especially appreciated Oil's care over swimming spots- she and the boat driver took us to an isolated bay to swim rather than around the floating restaurant. Food was good and Oil even guided us to good coffee and Thai Tea while teaching us Thai words. She really made the trip but I get the feeling the company gives this care as standard. Recommended!!

Exceptional Customer Service with Khaolak Planner - My partner and I had an amazing day trip to Khao Sok National Park with Khaolak Planner, and I can’t recommend them enough! The experience was incredible from start to finish. We did the Lake Safari, and it was a truly memorable adventure. The guide was super friendly, and the fact that it was a small group made the tour feel more personalized, allowing us to really enjoy the sights and learn more about the area. What really stood out, though, was their exceptional customer service. I accidentally left behind a pair of shoes, and they went out of their way to send them back to another city in Thailand so that I could receive them before flying home. That thoughtful gesture really made a huge difference in my overall experience! I’d rate this trip 10/10—everything was perfect, and I’ll definitely consider booking with them again if we return to the area. Highly recommend Khaolak Planner for anyone looking to explore the beautiful surroundings of Khao Sok!

Great tour, well organised and good timings - We had a fantastic day trip from Khao Lak to Khao Sok and were really lucky to only have 4ppl in our group so it felt like a private tour. Other tour groups were much larger. Our pickup arrived dead on time which is always a good start, and our guide Oil and driver Alex were excellent. Oil was very friendly and spoke excellent English. The itinerary was well thought out and we had enough time everywhere and the ordering of the day meant we missed most of the crowds which was great. Emerald pools were nice for a cool dip and relaxing short kayak trip. The lake long tail boat trip to see all the limestone karsts was excellent and Oil was always happy to take photos of us. We stopped at a floating restaurant with beautiful huts where people could stay overnight. Had an excellent lunch of fish, massaman, rice, veg, and fruit and there was plenty. Then you could swim or kayak around the small bay and enjoy the peace and beautiful scenery. Oil was very organised and considerate and provided cold water, soft drinks, fruit and even ponchos when it rained! Would happily do other tours through Khao Lak planner co ltd and hope to come back.

Worth the drive! - This is a well organised trip and our guide and driver were excellent. We were picked up in Khao Lak and the drive was fairly long. Lunch was really good. The views were amazing!!!

Enjoyable day. - I enjoyed this tour. Emerald springs were crystal clear and lots of fish. Our tour guide knew the area well and told us some interesting facts. The lake was huge and scenic.

Lovely, but long driving times and maybe not best for a less than fit 69 year old - Beautiful country, views amazing. Our guide was absolutely lovely. However, although the trip is advertised as suitable for up to 80 years old, it wasn’t. The visit to the caves felt dangerous and an accident waiting to happen. Also, the food we were served was not of the standard we received on other trips
