Khao Sok National Park
Khao Sok National Park is located on the mountain ridge separating the east and west coasts of the Thai peninsula, just south of the Isthmus of Kra. Monsoon rains sweep into these mountains from the Gulf of Thailand in the east and The Andaman Sea in the west, making this Thailand's wettest area. Rainfall is heaviest from May to November, the dry season is from December to April.
Khao Sok National Park in Southern Thailand is an amazing place. It is covered by the oldest evergreen rainforest in the world, huge limestone mountains shooting straight up in the air, deep valleys, breathtaking lakes, exciting caves, wild animals and much more. .
Khao Sok is a fantastic place to go on vacation. Elephant trekking, trekking on foot, canoeing and jeep safaris are all possible activities, which will give you the experience of a lifetime. Khao Sok is perfectly situated on the mainland between Phuket, Krabi, Khao Lak and Koh Samui, the most popular destinations in southern Thailand.

Review
Just returned from 4 days at Le Meridien Phuket, having been there before in Feb 2006. On the whole, a good hotel but it depends what you're looking for. First the good points:
Setting - private beach, large hotel, landscaped grounds, huge pools. Away from the hustle of Patong.
Service - attentive, pleasant, not intrusive but also not proactive.
Facilities - can't fault anything - all kinds of sports : archery, basketball, mini golf, tennis, squash, fitness center, all in good condition, staff supervision for children etc
Downside
Restaurants - some might find the food good if you have little exposure to Asian cuisine. We've travelled extensively in Asia and my honest assessment would be : Singapore prices but lower quality. This was our biggest disappointment.
Overall, you can't go far wrong with this hotel. The private beach is lovely and the hotel is solidly competent. But it is not really value for the money you pay particularly for food and it somehow lacks a personal touch & feel from the staff, which you can get in other big hotels in Asia. The overall impression is positive but somehow formulaic.
