Visiting KHAO SOK National Park | A day-trip to the most beautiful lake in Thailand

Khao Sok National Park is the most popular mainland national park in Thailand, and we could see why! We took a day trip to tour Khao Sok's Lake Cheow Lan. You can take a boat from Ratchaprapha Pier to see some of the most amazing views. The combination of mountains and water makes for a stunning trip with views that don't disappoint.
If you decide to come to Khao Sok, we also recommend checking out these islands as well!

Although we took a short day trip to Khao Sok, it's also possible to stay overnight in the park. For more information about the park, its tours, and its accommodations check out their website below!

I can't believe the lake was created in 1982! The floating bungalows look like a very relaxing place to hang out. How cool you were able to experience Khao Sok in all kinds of weather. This definitely looks like a worthwhile trip!

    You guys have really made the most of being stuck in Thailand, you've seen so much. This is another stunning place the mountains coming straight out of the lake is so dramatic and beautiful - really interesting it's not a natural lake. The queue for the 3 friends is probably so tiny now compared to what it's normally like - probably a really good thing for you - it must feel more unspoiled than normal times.
