Khao Sok & Cheow Lan Lake: about the park

Khao Sok National Park is considered one of Thailand’s most spectacular natural reserves. Its rainforest is over 160 million years old, making it even older than the Amazon. The park is home to more than 180 species of animals and birds, rare plants, and the iconic giant Rafflesia flower.

The highlight of the journey is Cheow Lan Lake, covering approximately 167 km². Emerald waters, towering limestone cliffs up to 1,000 meters high, hidden bays, and fjord-like landscapes create an almost unreal atmosphere. The Khao Sok & Cheow Lan Lake tour offers a complete escape from civilization — without sacrificing comfort.
