Fly to Phuket, Transfer to Khao Sok, and Join-in Cheow Lan Lake Boat Tour

After breakfast, you will be escorted to the airport for a 1.5-hour flight to Phuket. Upon your arrival, our driver in Phuket will greet you and we’ll make the transfer to Khao Sok National Park in a comfortable private car. It takes 2.5 hours on the way.

Around 17:00, our guide will lead you to take a sightseeing boat on Cheow Lan Lake heading to the Sam Klur Mountain Khao Sok National Park. When viewed from above, the lake resembles a giant tree with many branches, each leading into the embrace of pristine rainforests. The emerald-green hue of the lake is so stunning that you may think of it as seawater. Along the way, you can also admire the raw textures of more than 100 exotic limestone peaks standing around the lake. The boatman will pause during your journey, allowing you to soak in the oil-painted scenes, where locals can be seen fishing and drawing fresh water from the lake. Along the way, with our guide’s explanations, you will learn about the history of the villagers’ evacuation before the dam was constructed.
