Raft ride in the bamboo forest - The most beautiful excursion in Khao lak also thanks to Mr. Dong! The combination of walk, raft ride and longtail boat in conjunction with Mr. Dong - simply unbeatable!!!

Water from the spring, from the mountains and from above! - Wonderful day out, the guide and driver knew exactly how or what and guided us smoothly past everything. What was not entirely clear to us at the beginning was whether different activities were inclusive. The canoeing at the crystal stream certainly did and it was also beautiful swimming there. Many locals who also enjoy their day off here, nice! The trip across the lake was smooth, beautiful pictures can be taken and the guide, Jojo, also lent a skilful hand, so that we do not always stand in the picture with long arms;) Lunch was served at the table and it was really delicious, about 6 delicious Thai dishes. Lovely swimming and canoeing again was included. In consultation with the other participants we did not visit the cave, there seem to be long lines for a visit of fifteen minutes. The trip back was a bit heavier, we got a heavy tropical shower over us, but with the rain capes we had received in plenty of time the inconvenience was limited to 10 minutes. A short stop at the dam finished the day and we were dropped off at our hotel in Khai Lak in 1.5 hours. Looking back, we would spend more time in the park (2-3 nights) next time here. Beautiful area!

Excursion on a fantastic lake - This was one of the really good trips we have been on with nature on the first parquet 😜 If you take a small boat where we were only us 4 we got into some places where we were alone 👍 The lake is huge with a rich wildlife and nature we do not have on our latitudes You can have lunch at some of the many small floating restaurants in the lake A great trip you shouldn’t miss if you’re on these edges Ps It may be a good idea to bring some earplugs as there is no exhaust on the boat 🤔

Perfect tour if only have one day in Khao Sok - Small group tour was nice with only 8 people on our tour. Made for nice day with the boat not being crowded. Our guide was lovely and very invested in the day and making sure everyone was well taken care of. Includes lunch and national park fees which was nice.

Only let down for the... - Only let down for the whole day was the lunch. 1 bowl of curry for 5 people to share. I don't eat seafood so wasn't much for me. And no soft drink supplied with lunch just a glass of water.

Great scenery - worth seeing trip from Khao Lak - Despite a relatively large car journey (in total certainly over 3h - there is also a lot to see) - a worthwhile excursion. The national park is an experience and the longtail boat ride is a lot of fun. Everything worked out fine from hotel pickup to the end. Be sure to take bathing suits (or wear them immediately). The only downside is the (included) lunch on offer, which was largely unpalatable. There are plenty of drinks during the tour. Taking a few snacks is recommended. For the cave, sturdy footwear makes sense, so at least no flip flops. Another plus is that you only drive in small groups.

Fascinating experience with very long bus ride - Fascinating impressions at Emerald Pool and Cheow Lan Lake. Overall great day trip. However, the total 5-hour bus ride was a bit strenuous and was not communicated in advance

Nice park, rushed tour - The cheow lan park is very beautifull and it is an amazing spot. Nevertheless this tour tales you first to a esmerald pond which is not as astounding as the lake itself. After that everything is rushed. We couldn't ever stop to take photos when turning back
