A two-day Cheow Lan Lake adventure from Khao Lak — sleep in floating bungalows on emerald water, ringed by the limestone karsts of Khao Sok.
Step into the heart of Cheow Lan Lake, the jewel of Khao Sok National Park. With its emerald waters, towering limestone cliffs, and hidden caves, this lake feels like another world. On this 2-day adventure, you’ll cruise by longtail boat, trek to the famous Pakarang (Coral) Cave, and spend the night in authentic Khao Sok floating bungalows right on the water. It’s the perfect mix of jungle adventure and lakeside relaxation.

What’s Included in Your Cheow Lan Lake Adventure
This Cheow Lan Lake tour is fully guided and all-inclusive from the moment we collect you in Khao Lak. Your price covers hotel pickup and drop-off, every longtail boat transfer across the lake, and an English-speaking guide for the full two days. One night in genuine Khao Sok floating bungalows is included, along with all national park fees, two lunches, dinner, breakfast, and drinking water on the boat.
Activities are built in too — the jungle walk, the bamboo raft to Pakarang (Coral) Cave, canoeing, and swimming in the lake all come as part of the package. You only need to bring sunscreen, swimwear, a towel, and a camera; alcoholic drinks, snacks, and tips are the only extras.

Exact timings flex with conditions and traffic — your guide sequences the stops to keep them calm rather than rushed. This is how the day usually runs.
Day 1 Hotel pickup and transfer to Ratchaprapha Pier, where we board a traditional longtail boat for a scenic ride across Cheow Lan Lake. Watch as limestone cliffs rise dramatically from the emerald water. We stop at a raft house for lunch before heading out on a jungle trek. After about 40 minutes, a bamboo raft takes us to the entrance of Pakarang Cave, where glittering stalactites and stalagmites form coral-like shapes. After exploring, we return to the raft house, enjoy dinner by the lake, and spend the night in charming Khao Sok floating bungalows surrounded by nature.
Day 2 Wake up to the tranquil beauty of the lake and enjoy breakfast. The morning is yours to swim, paddle a canoe, or simply relax on the deck. After checking out, we cruise back by boat and continue to a local restaurant for lunch. On the way home, we stop at the Ban Nam Rad Watershed Forest, a natural spring hidden in the jungle where you can swim in turquoise, crystal-clear water. In the afternoon, we return you to your hotel in Khao Lak with unforgettable memories of Cheow Lan Lake.
