You'll be sleeping in floating rafthouse on a lake (sized 500 Rai) adjacent to the main one. Very quiet and peaceful.

You can either choose just to sleep there or go for a tour (caves, night safari,...)

I visited Koah Sok 4 years ago. Rented a longtail-boat with a driver who took us into the lake. It took about 1 1/2 hour to get to a floating rafthous. The next day he took us deeper into the lake and we walked 1/2 hour to a float who too us up to a big cave. I think we payed for the longtailboat for all 24 hour about 1500 bath and for a small bungalow 500 for the nigth. I can fully recomind this trip, Very special mountain , nearly as to be back in Scandinavia. And nice people who took good care of us.

My understanding is that the rafthouse is closed at the small lake. Believe that there are still tours to the cave at this lake. The larger lake has many options, including several rafthouses. They are simple bamboo huts with bathroom on shore. If you are ok with simple, they are great! Near the park headquarters, not on the lake, there are more and more guesthouses. There is one 2-3 star place near the park - Cliff and River Jungle Resort. There is enough to do in the area for 2 or 3 days even for the activity hungry I think there is even a golf course. Remember to stay out of caves and some other areas if there is heavy rain, your guides may not be cautious on your behalf.
