Cheow Lan Lake
Cheow Lan Lake in Khao Sok National Park is the secret gem of Southern Thailand; reportedly more people visit Phang Nga Bay in a week than Cheow Lan Lake in a year, making it an ideal location for people wanting to get away from the crowds.
Cheow Lan Lake is a beautiful body of water of 165sqm set amongst tropical green jungle and dramatic limestone cliffs. The lake was formed in 1982 by a power company who built Ratchapraba dam which flooded a large area of the National Park. The result is what you see today – magical scenery and fascinating wildlife.
