This seems like a pretty good price/quality situation. But i would be a bit afraid this is the type of place that is like full of kids.. (156 EUR)

Krabi, Thailand
Ferry's from Koh Chang to Trat seem pretty regular and for about 25 EUR there seems to be this service which includes pick up at your hotel, ferry and then drop off at the airport.
Flight Thai Air to Krabi seems to best option timing wise.
18:25 - 19:45 -- 53 EUR -- then stay one night in Krabi and drive to Khao Sok the next day.
Then it's still a 2,5 - 4 hour drive to Khao Sok National Park -- 13 eur pp.
Maybe stay somewhere simple like this as it's just for one night -- 34 EUR.

Khao Sok National Park, Thailand
Early transfer to Khao Sok -- about 13 EUR each for shared van and 35 EUR each for private car. Hotel also offers to arrange the transfer for like 40 EUR each.
Select one of these packages: https://www.khaosokaccommodation.com/khao-sok-tour-packages
I think the experience package could be kind of fun?
It's about 200 - 250 EUR each depending on which room we pick -- treehouse vs. garden room.

283 EUR -- nice option that seems more private and less big resorty
