Continue to the suspension bridge of Khao Theppithak in Khao Phang with a scenic view to the river and surrounding mountains where you can make some nice photos. Then enjoy a traditional Thai lunch at the jungle hut near the Khao Sok River. After a short break, continue to Ratchaprapha Dam from where a longtail boat will bring you to the floating raft houses on the Cheow Lan Lake in 45 minutes. During the cruise you will see amazing landscapes and wonderful nature.

After a well-deserved deep slumber, do a sightseeing trip by longtail boat to enjoy the early morning mist on the still lake. It's now time for a rich, vitalise breakfast to strengthen yourself for the next adventure.

Follow a mini jungle trail into the breathtaking Pra Kay Petch Cave (also known as Diamond Cave) which winds deep into the interior of Khao Sok National Park. Along the way your guide will explain the unique history of the region and it’s cultural significance, pointing out such magnificent creatures as; Jurassic insects, butterflies and rare birds.

Next you’ll strap on your headlamps. Prepare to get wet, as the hike extends through the “water cave” (dry season only) and soon becomes a dark wonderland. This is an excellent time to view the many nocturnal species that inhabit this cave (from a safe distance of course) and cool yourself in the river as you explore.

We had a great time with our guide Pradet. He was very friendly and enthousiastic. He teached us some things about his country and language. He knows a lot about the National park and helped us with everything we needed. He was listening to us when we requested to do something different then we planned. We really recommend this tour for everyone!

I cannot recommend this tour enough! My boyfriend and I both agree that it was our favorite part of our whole time in Thailand. Our guide Aeg and driver Dean were both very kind and accommodating. My boyfriend and I were the only people on the tour and they made sure we had everything we needed. They stayed with us the entire time and had a room at the raft house. Aeg accompanied us on all our tours and answered all our questions. Every meal we had was a delicious feast! We are both vegetarians and Aeg made sure we had special meals. The Rafthouse was worth the money alone. It is absolutely beautiful. It was just us on all of our lake tours and it was a truly magical experience!

Our holiday to 1night 2 day tour of Cheow Lan lake was spoilt by Our holiday to 1night 2 day tour of Cheow Lan lake was spoilt by Sutin Group operator !!! We booked the package despite the expensive tour price but still feel it is worth the price as we were drawn by the capsule bungalow raft stay (as shown in the photo gallery) n the interesting itinerary sounds exciting. We do this tour because of the capsule bungalow raft . However, we were greatly disappointed n felt cheated when the operator brought us to another raft accommodation that is very basic , w basic n run down toilet. I showed the operator the photos of the capsules bungalow raft n told him this is where am supposed to stay for the night. He lied n said that accommodation is for 4pax n not 2person. I told him it is for 2person n then he lied by saying the accommodation is not available on that day and they have informed me !! The operator (Prathdep, i may not spelt his name incorrectly??) then assigned another guy (Mr Ai ?? ) to take care of me and friends n left with the boatman to pier) He said Mr Ai will be in charge . I showed Mr Ai the itinerary n with limited English , he said ok. The beginning of our series of nightmare !! We know we were at the mercy of the ‘bogus operator ‘ n at their mercy as nothing much can be done Next , as stated in itinerary, we are at leave at 5pm for evening safari. We were ready at 4.50pm n waited till 5.30pm. Other groups have already gone for their safari n I approached the operator n asked him why are we not leaving fr safari at 5pm. He said the boatman has sent Prathdep to pier n will return soon. We waited from 4.50pm till 6.30pm n by then most tourist fr other group have returned from their safari. I asked mr Ai n told him It is getting dark. He said he has torch n assure us we will go for our safari . I questioned him what is there to see in total darkness ! We are here for “evening safari”. I was extremely disappointed. As expected , it gets total darkness n we did not have our safari. We saw The boatman during dinner time After dinner, I confirmed with Mr Ai next day program. We are suppose to do morning safari at 7am, return fr b.fast at 8am n then do mini jungle hike n the cave Mr Ai changed our itinerary. He said we will hv b.fast at 7.30am n then we will go for morning safari n cave !!! Again, we were not able to do our morning safari I got up the next morning around 6.30am n I was enjoying the beauty of the morning scenery of the place n was feeling indignation that we are not doing the morning safari After b.fast,, we set off in the boat at 8.15am !! Mr Ai bring us straight to the cave . No explanation on the cave. We were done in less than 20min. What happen to mini jungle hike ?? What happen to cave tour ??! Nothing !!! After I returned from my tour, I email Trip Store Krabi n told them my nightmarish experience. They email to me nbwirh great audacity, told me they verified my complaints with Sutin operator . They claim my complaint were not true n said the operator cancel evening safari as it was pouring . What rubbish !! I told Trip Store Krabi, I have taken photos of the place when we arrive, I have photo of me Swimming on the lake, I have photos of me taken while I wait for the boatman to return. All photos has time indicated n there is a clear day !! It did rain a short time when we were in boat to the accommodation around 3pm+ As for changing the next morning safari at 7am, the operator gave the pack of lies that we do not want to get up at 7am as it is too early n we want to sleep late ???? I told Trip Store Krabi I am there for the morning safari . I have photos taken around 7.15am, sitting around , enjoying the morning view Trip Store Krabi n Sutin Group service sucks. They are no difference from ‘bogus operator ‘. I love Thailand n the people . They are sincere n hospitality. I have been to Thailand many times. This is the first time I had such horrible experience with the operator n the people. Am sad that they have tarnished the good reputation of Thailand n the people Group operator !!!

I have just finished a snakehead fishing trip with my son on Chow Lan Lake. Wow, what an adventure. Scenery amazing, fishing amazing and our guide, Neil sensational. From the moment we got on the long tail boat we were soon fishing in some pristine wilderness surrounded by wildlife. We were fortunate to encounter, elephants, deer, buffalo, wild pigs, various monkeys, large snakes and many types of birdlife. The accommodation was rustic, ( as we were told by Neil in advance) but really fitting with the surroundings. Fishing was not easy, ( as this is not a pond fish out, but a huge water catchment), but productive over the 4 days non the less. Fishing in the rivers was a real experience and we would have continued if not for the unwelcome advances of an elephant and, ( we think) her young. For any one who would really like to experience real fishing in a jungle enviroment, this is the trip you should put on your bucket list and Neil from Fishing Khao Lak is someone I would highly recommend as he make the whole trip really easy from pick up in phuket to drop off back to the airport if needed. Bring a sense of adventure and be prepared to rough it a bit and it will be a fishing trip to remember. Highly recommend. Graham

Un lieu absolument unique. Apaisant / immense / magnifique. On se sent seuls au monde. Merci à l’agence Ethika Siam pour nous avoir permis de vivre cela. Balade sur le lac, trek dans la jungle, dormir sur des bungalows flottants, faire du canoë pour s’approcher des berges et essayer d’apercevoir singes, oiseaux et éléphants sauvages. Difficile d’exprimer ses émotions sur un tel lieu. Allez-y !
