A special moment


Many travellers visit Cheow Lan Lake for just a few hours, but staying overnight completely transforms the experience. Once the excursion boats have returned, the lake regains its tranquillity, and the silence of the rainforest turns the surroundings into a completely different place.

Sleeping on the water, waking up to the morning mist and cruising across the lake at sunrise make this tour one of the most highly rated experiences for those who want to discover the more authentic side of Khao Sok.

“Sleeping on the water, surrounded by rainforest, is one of those experiences you never forget.”

Day 1 · Cheow Lan Lake Boat Trip and Overnight Stay in a Floating Bungalow

  • Your adventure begins when you arrive at the pier in Khao Sok and board a traditional longtail boat. You’ll cruise across the spectacular Cheow Lan Lake, surrounded by towering limestone mountains and lush tropical rainforest, until you reach your floating accommodation.

  • After lunch and some time to relax, you’ll be able to enjoy the surroundings and discover one of the oldest ecosystems on the planet. As evening approaches, you’ll head back out onto the lake for a wildlife-spotting boat safari before enjoying dinner and spending the night in your floating bungalow.

 


 

Day 2 · Sunrise on the Lake, Exploration Safari and Return Journey

  • Your second day begins with one of the most special moments of the trip: a sunrise boat safari, when mist blankets Cheow Lan Lake and the rainforest slowly awakens. After breakfast, you’ll have free time to relax, enjoy one last swim or go kayaking before beginning your return journey.

  • On the way back to the pier, you’ll stop at the famous “Guilin of Thailand”, one of the lake’s most photogenic spots. You’ll have time to take photos and enjoy a final look at this spectacular landscape. The experience ends in Khao Sok, with a packed picnic lunch provided before you continue to your next destination.

FAQs

Is It Worth Spending a Night on Cheow Lan Lake?

Yes. Spending a night in a floating bungalow allows you to enjoy the lake after the day tours have returned. The atmosphere is much more peaceful, and you’ll have the opportunity to watch the sunrise through the mist, take part in a boat safari and enjoy a much more complete experience.

 

What Is the Difference Between the Group Tour and the Private Tour?

Both options include the same itinerary and activities. The difference is that the private tour is exclusively for your group and offers greater flexibility throughout the experience, while the group tour is shared with other travellers.

 

Is Electricity Available During the Day?

No, there is no electricity supply during the day. However, this has little impact on the experience, as tours usually depart very early and return in the afternoon, when electricity is available again at the accommodation.

 

What Is Included in the 2-Day Khao Sok Tour?
