One Day Cheow Lan Lake Trip

One of Khao Sok National Park’s hidden gems, Cheow Lan Lake is a pristine body of water surrounded by awe-inspiring limestone karst mountains. Known also as Ratchaprabha Dam, it spans 165 km² and serves as the heart and soul of the jungle. This stunning lake is an unmissable destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
The day trip begins just after breakfast and takes you on a scenic journey that will bring you back to your hotel in time for dinner. The trip is perfect for those eager to experience Thailand’s natural beauty and explore one of the country’s most picturesque lakes and national parks.
While on the water, you’ll have time to relax on the dock, go swimming, or enjoy kayaking. In the afternoon, a nature hike is planned to explore the National Park, with the chance to encounter some local wildlife. The guide will choose a trekking route (either a cave or special viewpoint) depending on the day’s conditions. Afterward, you’ll take a boat ride back to the pier to end your day.
