Full description

Cheow Lan Lake fills the heart of Khao Sok National Park, one of the oldest rainforests in the world, and the best way to see it is by longtail boat. On this private day your boat and boatman are yours alone, so you can linger at the Three Brothers rocks, stop to swim, and choose how long to spend at each cove.

Along the way you watch for hornbills, monkeys and other wildlife along the forest edge, and stop at a floating raft house for a swim or a kayak. The day can be shaped around your group, with a guided cave walk added when the season allows.
