Paradise

Located in the Khao Sok National park, an overnight trip to the Cheow Lan Lake is a must. Surrounded by limestone cliffs and lush tropical vegetation, the sounds and sights of the jungle are fascinating . We saw monkeys and a herd of elephants had been spotted a few days earlier….. the tracks they left in the mud were still visible 🐾 There are choices of several accommodations on the lake, ranging from very basic to high end, so do your research , as the difference in comfort is huge. The cost of the tour was 2600 baht pp, from Khao Sok village ( approx €72) and included basic accommodation, lunch, dinner and breakfast, pick up/ drop off, guided jungle hike, cave exploration, morning sunrise safari , free use of kayaks and life jackets ( national park fees not included in this price) #2023travelwish #nationalpark #wintergetaway #getawayfromcitylife #heavenonearth #paradise #thailand

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
