Cheow lan dam in Thailand

It's located 2-hours drive north of Phuket, Khao Sok is a breathtaking national park that offers a wide range of activities, from jungle trekking to canoeing and boat riding on the stunning Cheow Lan Lake. Some people say that Cheow Lan lake (dam) is the last pristine gem of Thailand... true or not, what we can tell you is that this experience was one of the most beautiful we've had around the world, of those that you will think about it forever. Remember that time you slept in a tiny floating hut surrounded by huge limestone rocks emerging from the water, hundreds of meters high and completely covered by the rain forest. No internet, no phone, just nature, the perfect place to make peace with yourself. #bangkoktrip

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
