Art's Riverview Lodge

Art's Riverview Lodge sits on the bank of the Sok River in Khao Sok, in Surat Thani province, with limestone cliffs rising behind the tree line. The property is built from individual cottage-style units and treehouses rather than one large building, so each room has its own sense of separation from the next.

There are four room types to pick from — single, double, triple, and family — split between two settings: riverview rooms that look straight onto the Sok River, or garden-view rooms tucked into the surrounding greenery. Either way, the jungle is close enough that monkeys are regularly spotted moving through the trees near the lodge.

The lodge describes itself as eco-styled, leaning into the tropical setting rather than against it, with wild flowers, running water, and birdsong as the backdrop to a stay. It's a fit for couples looking for quiet and for families who want cottages with some separation from other guests, all within walking distance of the riverbank.

Art's Riverview Lodge is open daily from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm. The address is 54/3 Moo 6, Tambon Khlong Sok, Amphoe Phanom, in the Khao Sok area. Reservations and questions go through the lodge directly by phone at 081 864 4493 or via its website, where room types and views can be checked for availability.
