StylePrivate tour
One night on Cheow Lan Lake in a raft house, with a longtail transfer, a cave walk and a dawn canoe.
Best for: An add-on between Phuket and Krabi. The route runs Khao Sok. Everything below is a starting point: hotels can be upgraded or simplified, days can be added, and any element can be removed.
The lake is not somewhere you pass through. It is a 45-minute drive from Khao Sok village and then a 45-minute longtail, and the reward is a valley of limestone cliffs with nothing on the water but raft houses. One night gives you the two best hours — dusk and dawn — which is exactly what a day trip misses.
The add-on covers the boat transfers, a guided kayak into a side lagoon, a night walk, all meals and the park fee. Accommodation is a basic raft house with a cold shower and generator power; an upgraded version with en-suite bathrooms and 24-hour power is available for about $60 more per person.
Day by day
Day01
Onto the lake

How the days are paced

$210 per person is based on private · 2–6 travellers sharing a room for 2 days, with mid-range four-star hotels as standard. Nothing is added locally: the entrance fees, boats and guiding are already in the number.

Good to know
From $210 per person, based on private · 2–6 travellers, 2 days and 1 nights. The quote includes the hotels, guiding and transport listed under “What’s included”; international flights and travel insurance are not included.
Yes. Every itinerary on this site is a starting point. Days can be added or removed, hotels upgraded or simplified, and the route reordered around your dates — we re-cost it as many times as you need before you commit.
Not included: transport to khao sok, drinks. Everything else listed under “What’s included” is in the quote, and we do not add local payments on arrival.
Three to six months ahead for the best hotels, and by September for travel over Christmas and New Year. Green-season trips can usually be arranged with six weeks’ notice.
It can, but it is priced as an add-on. Standalone bookings include the transfer from Surat Thani or Phuket at extra cost.
Patchy at best and usually none. That is part of the appeal — tell people you will be offline.

“No hidden extras. The price we agreed in November was the price we paid, entrance fees and all. Rare enough to mention.”

“We asked for two nights with nothing planned. They understood immediately, which most agencies do not.”
