I know just the place for you OP

in thailand there is a town caled "Pai", it's west of chiang mai.
famous for hippies and it's party scene

...but about an hour FURTHER west is a place called "Sopong" which has some great nature, a famous cave (the only thing most touists day trip to see)
use the "cave lodge" as a base, it's fantastic and owned by some real /trv/ heroes

>camping forbiden
yea like the police are going to trudge all the way out into the jungle looking for someone with a hammock.
I bought a waterproof camping hammock in chaing mai and a tarpaulin cover for like 500baht (could have done better)
I only set it up in laos, but me and my machete were fine.

but be advised the jungle presents a range of dangers (disseases, leaches, poisonous plants and bugs, rabid dogs, flooding, falling trees etc), and I would strongly caution against doing it solo; and outright tell you to forget it if you arn't used to camping because you will have a miserable time.
also the rainy season isn't a fuck-around, everything floods, roads and whole areas are totally cut off; this is probably why camping is banned because the thais won't send a helicopter after you and your insurance will be void

you might also consider the areas around chiang rai, particularly mae salong (?) it's an old kutomang base in the far north the chinese tourists like

Picture looks good. I'll sure check out these areas you mentioned.

While browsing the Web today I found Khao Sok N.P. which looked interesting.

I definitely need a guide who would show me around a jungle, never been in one before off the beaten path. And the ones I've been to were with a group or in Hawaii.

Who gives a fuck what's allowed?

khao sok is a big trekking area, you'll have dozens and dozens of guides to choose from. The park itself is pretty basic and after my basic trek I just wanted to do solo camping from then on. Just go there and ask around for a very secluded trek or something.
