Excursions to the Kao Sok + Cheow Lan lake

A slightly unconventional although still interesting excursion for Phuket and all of Thailand to the Khao Sok National Park, with the possibility of spending the night on Lake Cheow Lan. Here, there is no white sandy beach, ocean nor speedboat rides. You’ll see another side of Thailand.

The park occupies 738 km², of which the lake occupies 165. The rest of the territory is covered by jungle and limestone hills. The lake is an enormous freshwater reservoir, which is highly profitable for nearby villages. There are an enormous number of varied islands and bays on the lake.

Khao Sok National Park and Lake Cheow Lan are probably the most beautiful and untamed areas for fishing in Thailand, offering those who love this type of vacation splendid landscapes and an abundance of wildlife. This can only be found in Southeast Asia. Spearfishing is also possible here.

The park’s rainforest is one of the most ancient on Earth. Enormous rafflesia flowers (Rafflesia kerrii) can be seen here, reaching 1 metre in diameter and 10 kg in weight.

Fishing and diving are also available at Cheow Lan Lake where you can catch giant snakehead (up to 10 kg), forest snakehead (7 kg), Siamese carp (up to 100 kg), Amazonian arapaima (up to 200 kg), knife fish (up to 6 kg), Indian carp (up to 40 kg), Mekong (up to 100 kg) or striped catfish (up to 15 kg). Divers can explore the abandoned temples and houses, the remains of flooded forests and many caves that remain untouched at the bottom of the reservoir after the lake flooded. Fishing and diving are organized only individually and are not included in the group program. Contact us with the questions regarding the organization of this trip.
