  • Khao Sok National Park is one of the best places to visit in Thailand. It is covered by the oldest evergreen rainforest in the world, huge limestone mountains, beautiful lakes, exciting caves, and a lot of wildlife.
    The best way to explore the Khao Son National Park is on a boat tour. We took a one day boat tour around the Cheow Lan Lake but things didn't go as good as expected...

    This is my favorite video you guys have made. The storytelling was spot on. But never good when your tour guide at the boat is yelling HELP. Reminded me of the movie Open Water.
    The view was amazing and was so pretty when you guys were kayaking. Too bad they rushed the opening. WhenI have to film in dark places I switch to my phone. I love cave tours. This video was 30 min but felt like 5 min. Thanks for taking along.

    The lake in Khao Sok national park is man made for hydroelectricity. One of the reasons it was chosen as the location to build the dam was because of its high rainfall so it could be sunny and then cloudy and rainy all of a sudden in one day.

As it is so hot here during the day, it was attractive for us when you said it was a bit cloudy. Kayaking looked great and the landscape looked stunning. Thank you for the tips to compare with other companies etc. Hope you had some nice dinner and beer after the trip. ☺️

    Enjoyed watching your video. Having stayed on the lake I have a few comments to make. The first, it probably wasn’t a bad tour company, rather a bad choice to do a one day tour. If that’s all the time you have then I guess it’s better than not going at all. I believe one night tours are too rushed … as you said, time wasted getting tickets, waiting for boats, waiting for lunch etc. the weather, unfortunately can’t be controlled regardless of tour company. I did this in March this year. Fabulous clear skies, definitely need a roof on the long tail for shade, just wanted to get in the water.
    With some research, I chose to do 3 days, 2 nights on the lake. So as the one nighters were packing and left at 09:30 on day 2, I had the whole day to swim, kayak relax and just enjoy the beautiful scenery. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
    Also, the one day tours don’t take you in as far as if you are staying overnight. So we had plenty of time in the boat exploring the lake just to get to where we were staying, as well as evening boat tours for animal watching, and a morning boat tour each day to hopefully see the animals awaking and coming down to drink /feed. Luck enough to see elephants both during the evening and morning boat tours.
    So advice - don’t do a day tour unless you have limited time, stay 2 nights if you can, and research Thailand weather to get sunny, cloudless days.
    Cheers

      But since you ask, for us, we booked through our hotel and we paid 1500 thb per person. Including all you see (van to lake pier, boat, lunch, kayak, cave tour).
