Overview

Discover one of southern Thailand’s most spectacular landscapes on a full-day journey from Khao Lak to Cheow Lan Lake. This Cheow Lan Lake tour from Khao Lak combines a scenic longtail boat ride, dramatic limestone karst scenery, a cave visit, lunch at a floating raft house, kayaking and swimming in one day.

After morning pickup from your hotel, travel to the lake in Surat Thani Province and stop at a scenic viewpoint along the way. Take in the surrounding landscape and see how the area was transformed after the construction of the dam.

Continue to Cheow Lan Lake and board a traditional longtail boat for a scenic cruise across its emerald waters. Travel between towering limestone formations and jungle-covered peaks rising dramatically from the lake.

Explore the unique natural environment around the lake, including the peat swamp forest area, before continuing to Diamond Cave (Pra Kay Petch). Inside the cave, discover impressive limestone formations including stalactites and stalagmites.

After the cave visit, continue to Phutawan floating raft house for a Thai set lunch surrounded by the peaceful lake scenery.

Enjoy leisure time after lunch. Relax at the floating raft house, swim in the warm lake water, or explore the surrounding area by kayak (kayaks are included at no extra cost). After the lake experience, return by road to Khao Lak.

Good to know: the minimum is 4 guests per departure; smaller groups can still book, and we confirm on WhatsApp whether other guests are joining that day or offer you another date that is already confirmed. Children aged 3 to 11 join at the child price and children under 3 join free. The tour includes boat boarding, walking and uneven ground in the cave, so it is not suitable for guests with limited mobility. The order of activities may change with weather, lake conditions or safety requirements, cave access may be adjusted if local conditions make entry unsafe, and swimming and kayaking depend on weather and lake conditions.
