The only other area I'm familiar with is Phang Nga Bay. I liked Khao Sok much, much better. I think it depends entirely on personal preference, and what you find romantic. My husband and I loved the wildlife and the serenity and peacefulness of Khao Sok over the somewhat more touristy vibe of Phang Nga Bay. Not that it's touristy exactly, just not wild and remote. I would choose what most appeals to you both, and not try to fit too much in.

Highly recommended - accommodation can be variable - google a lot.

Where would you recommend staying-we want to do the whole tree house thing...

We stayed at a wonderful, but very, very rustic spot, with just a thin mattress in a shack inches above the water. Probably not honeymoon material, but if this sounds appealing, I'll fill you in.

do tell.. cattail. sounds like my type of place.

The bungalows belong to the national park, lincasanova. We booked them as part of a package with Paddle Asia, but I think you can book them yourselves. We aren't generally "tour people", but, in this case, having a guide was a fantastic decision. We saw WAY more than we would have on our own. Somehow, we ended up with a private guide, which allowed us to explore at our pace. At the end of the stay, we considered him a friend.

If you click on Paddle Asia's website, you can link to the bungalows. The family who runs it is very, very nice.

You can rent bamboo huts built on rafts. THese are accessible by long tail. Before you go you can order your meals and they are brought out to you.


I can't find the name of the place I stayed at with tree houses, but I felt they were overpriced and stayed on the ground....so to speak.
Bring some mozzie coils/sticks to leave in your rooms while you're out.

Kayaking around the karsts is a good thing to try.
