About This Attraction

Khao Sok Thailand

Cheow Lan Lake is a stunning reservoir located in Khao Sok National Park in southern Thailand. It was formed in 1987 when the Ratchaprapha Dam was built, flooding the valley and creating a vast body of water surrounded by limestone cliffs and lush rainforests. Visitors to the lake can enjoy a variety of activities such as kayaking, swimming, and wildlife spotting. The floating raft houses provide unique accommodation options for those who wish to stay overnight.

For practical Cheow Lan Lake travel information, its important to know that guided boat tours are available to explore the lake and its surroundings. These tours often include stops at key points of interest, such as caves and viewpoints. Additionally, visitors should be prepared for basic amenities, as the area is relatively remote with limited access to modern conveniences. Its advisable to pack essentials like sunscreen, insect repellent, and suitable footwear for hiking adventures.
