SDEKLK019: KHAO SOK LAKE DAY TRIP – BREATHTAKING CHEOW LAN LAKE (TUESDAY,THURSDAY,FRIDAY,SUNDAY)

Pick up from your hotel in the Khao Lak area:
We've got you covered! Your friendly driver and guide will pick you up in a comfy air-conditioned minibus at around 06.00AM in front of your hotel lobby. The pick-up time may vary depending on the location of your hotel, but we confirm the exact time with you when you book.

Longtail Boat Tour:
We arrive at the pier at the Rajjaprabha Dam, and it's time to step onboard a traditional Thai Longtail boat to begin the sightseeing cruise on Cheow Lan Lake. Light reflects off the water surface, and because of this, it is a good idea to use sunscreen even though the boat is covered. Get your camera ready! There are thousands of photo opportunities coming your way.

Jungle Exploration Trek:
As the Longtail cruises around the lake, the captain will make a couple of stops, including one for a one-hour trek through the 160 million-year-old rainforest, where your experienced guide will assist you in spotting some of the more elusive creatures you might otherwise miss.
Exotic wildlife is not all there is to see! Khao Sok is home to many rare and endemic orchid species, as well as the largest flower in the world, the Rafflesia arnoldii. Spectacular landscapes and a vast array of flora and fauna combine to make the Khao Sok a paradise for nature lovers and photographers! Your senses of perception are in for a treat. Unique sights, smells, and sounds are ever-present in the jungle and impossible to ignore.

Cave Exploration:
You can tell your friends after today that you are an amateur spelunker! One of the stops your boat captain will make will allow you to step back in time as you walk through speleothems that took thousands of years to form. Stalactites hang precariously from the cave ceiling, and stalagmites rise from the floor, continuously growing in size. Today, the snapshot of the interior has never looked the same, nor will it ever again. The interior shape of this cave is constantly evolving and will continue doing so long after we are gone.

Lunch Break and Time to Relax:
After the morning activities, you will likely have worked up an appetite. Your captain will make way to a floating restaurant where a delicious traditional Thai lunch awaits. After filling your belly, there is time to jump in for a refreshing swim in vivacious waters or sit back, relax, and take in the view. Please inform us when you book if you have any special dietary restrictions or requirements. We will do our best to accommodate them.

Return to the pier:
After completing the lake tour itinerary, your captain will return to the pier, where your minibus driver will be waiting. Please be sure to take all of your belongings off the boat when you disembark. Now is the time to use the facilities if you need a bathroom break before the minibus departs the pier to take you back to Khao Lak.

Return to your hotel in the Khao Lak area:
Your driver and guide will return you to your hotel around 18.00PM. If you are hoping to get a chance to see wild Asian elephants, Guar, and more of the 200 species of birds found further away from the pier, we proudly offer overnight trips that take you further into the lake, where you will have a much better chance of spotting them. We hope to see you again soon.
