Spectacular Cheow Lan

The gorgeous Cheow Larn Lake, located in the middle of Khao Sok National Park, is one of Thailand's most picturesque sites. It's a wonderful spot to visit, surrounded by jungle-clad mountains and with vertiginous limestone karsts and submerged trees breaking the surface of the water. Rare species like the gigantic parasitic Rafflesia flower, hornbill birds, gibbons, and tigers call it home. Elephant-back safaris, hiking trails, and rafting, canoeing, and kayaking on the Sok River are all options for exploring the park. #scenicspotphotoguide#choicehomestay#hiking#nationalpark#naturalwonders#summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Cheow Lan Dam (Ratchaprapa Dam)

Cheow Lan Lake - Khao Sok The artificial dam was created in 1982. When the dam established a few months later in 1982 the Ratchaprapa Dam was built which created the Cheow Lan Lake. It is 165sqkm. The purpose of this dam was to provide electricity in Southern Part of Thailand. BACKPACKING TIPS 1. Rent a motorbike - from Khao Sok National Park it is 60 kms away. I drove almost 2 hours with the help of Mars (Google Map) from my guesthouse. I rented the motorbike for 250 Baht / 24hrs. 2.Join the group tour at Ratchaprapha Pier - I highly recommend this to reduce your expenses. There are a lot of packages that suit your budget. I supposed to rent the whole small boat for myself, but being friendly and budget-conscious I joined the family (4 adults and 1 kid). Instead of paying 1,700 Baht for 2 hrs lake tour I only paid 340 baht + 300 baht National Park Fee. TOTAL DAMAGE FOR THIS LAKE TOUR 250 - Motorbike rental 340 - share for boat rental 300 - National Park fee for an adult foreigner 40 - Gas refill ==== 930 - Total Usually if you book a tour package at your guesthouse they will ask 1,700 baht per head + 300 baht for the national park fee (inclusive of transfers). #seasidephotoguide#bestislandtraveltowns#nationalpark

💦🌄 Review: Cheow Lan Dam (Ratchaprapha Dam) 🌄💦 Those who want to experience beautiful nature, crystal-clear emerald-green water, and limestone mountains lined up like Thailand's Guilin, must visit Cheow Lan Dam, also known as "Ratchaprapha Dam," in Surat Thani Province. 🛶✨ 📍 Charms of this place: • The emerald-green water in the dam is crystal-clear, almost like a painting. • The uniquely shaped limestone mountains rising from the water create a truly spectacular atmosphere. • The floating raft accommodation feels like waking up surrounded by nature. 🌿 • Rare wildlife and birds are found in Khao Sok National Park. 📌 Must-do activities: • Take a scenic boat trip around the dam, a highlight being Thailand's Guilin, a popular photo spot. • Stay on a floating raft, gaze at the stars, and wake up to the fresh air. • Kayak and enjoy a relaxing swim. • Trek through nature trails and explore the Coral Cave and Nam Talu Cave. • Capture the romantic sunrise and sunset. 🌅 #CheowLanDam #KhaoSok
