Making you
happy
is my goal
My name is Laem - full name Charleamchai Matura - and I own and manage Khao Sok Private Tours and organise everything for you.
I have worked in in different tourism-related jobs all over Thailand for over 20 years and speak English fluently. I discovered that I wanted to work in eco-friendly tourism when I became a rescue diver.

YOUR GUIDE
I I love to share my knowledge of the history of this incredibly beautiful area, as well as the local lifestyle and the stunningly beautiful national park with its diverse wildlife.
I have developed several different tours to show you the most special places we know.
Whatever I do, you will have a real experience with a true local guide.
I carry spare binoculars, and pay attention to what you want. I am here for you!!!
ABOUT US
Like the reef, the forest is an amazingly complex ecosystem and I love to share my knowledge about the history of my birthplace, this beautiful rainforest…
I grew up in the Khao Sok National Park area. I was born exactly in the heart of what is now the dam and reservoir - the Cheow Laan Lake. Our original village is in fact underwater.
I was inspired to use my experience to do something for my village and community. I source everything locally, and support small businesses in the area. By sharing this special place with you in a back-to-the-roots, eco-tourism style, it enables me to look after my home and share our world with you.
And you are helping to create meaningful opportunities for the next generation — keeping the spirit of Khao Sok alive and its community strong for years to come.
I do things differently from other tours.
• I only offer private tours
• I carry fist aid kits.
• I carry an emergency radio in case there is no phone signal
• I also try to stay away from other groups as much as possible. Sometimes I have to adjust a tour a little (change of hiking trail or kayaking location) to avoid other groups to make sure we are alone.
