Cheow Larn Lake: Guided Tour from Khaolak + Bamboo Raft Ride + Lunch

About this experience

The Cheow Larn Lake guided tour is a full-day excursion from Khaolak into Khao Sok National Park, covering one of southern Thailand's largest reservoirs set against limestone karst formations. The tour runs approximately nine hours and begins with a hotel pickup from Khaolak, travelling south toward Krabi and the surrounding region before reaching the lake by longtail boat. A stop at Khao Sam Kloe offers a viewpoint over the water before the group continues to a floating raft house on the lake. From the raft house, guests take a kayak out onto the clear reservoir waters and join a guided jungle walk through Klong Seang National Park. A bamboo raft ride leads to Coral Cave, where stalactite and stalagmite formations line the interior chambers. The day closes with a wildlife safari by longtail boat along the lake's edge, where wild elephants are occasionally spotted at the waterline. Tickets cover hotel pickup and drop-off, a professional English-speaking guide, the longtail boat ride, bamboo rafting, kayaking, a Thai lunch, bottled water, and insurance. Entry fees for Khao Sok National Park and Coral Cave are paid separately on the day.

Before you go

Arrival and timing Your guide will collect you directly from your Khao Lak hotel, so be ready in your hotel lobby a few minutes before the scheduled pickup time. The full day runs to just under nine hours, so wear comfortable clothing and bring sun protection, insect repellent, and any personal items you need for a long day outdoors. Note that entry tickets for Khao Sok National Park and Coral Cave are not included and must be paid separately on the day in baht. During the tour Photography is welcome throughout the day, including at Khao Sam Kloe and on the water. Thai lunch and bottled water are provided, but alcoholic drinks are not included and are at your own cost. Wear shoes or sandals that can get wet, as the day involves boat rides, kayaking, and a bamboo raft. Keep your belongings in a dry bag or waterproof pouch during water activities. Stay with the group during the jungle walk and follow your guide's instructions around wildlife.
