Cheow Lan Lake

Cheow Lan Lake in Phuket is a gem of Khao Sok National Park in Thailand. The lake is located 2–2.5 hours from Phuket (170 km to the northeast). You can get there by car on your own or with a guided tour.

A Cheow Lan Lake excursion offers a chance to immerse yourself in a world of extraordinary landscapes, featuring emerald lakes, majestic limestone cliffs, and lush tropical vegetation. To find out where Cheow Lan Lake is located and how to get there, you can check with tour organizers.

The journey to Cheow Lan Lake begins with an exciting boat ride, during which tourists can enjoy stunning views and observe jungle inhabitants like monkeys, birds, and, with luck, elephants.

A guide will share insights about the lake’s unique flora and fauna, as well as the history of this man-made reservoir, created in the 1980s with the construction of the Ratchaprapha Dam.

For adventure enthusiasts, activities include kayaking, swimming in the lake’s clear waters, and trekking through jungle trails.

But you need to be prepared for the fact that this is true “wild nature.” There are facilities, but not like in a luxury hotel: a mattress, a mosquito net, a shared toilet/shower on a floating pontoon. There is no electricity (or only from a generator). Mobile service is unavailable or very weak.

What should you bring? A swimsuit, a towel, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, comfortable shoes (for trekking), and a change of clothes. If you’re staying overnight, bring a flashlight and something warm (it can get cool in the evening). Water and snacks are sold on site, but they’re quite expensive — keep that in mind.

A Cheow Lan Lake excursion offers solitude with nature and a vibrant adventure. The tour costs approximately $80 per person.
