Khao Sok 2 Days 1 Night Itinerary: Cheow Lan Lake, Caves and Floating Bungalows
Why Choose 2 Days and 1 Night?
If your time is limited but you want to see the best of Khao Sok, a 2 days 1 night trip is the sweet spot. You get a boat ride past towering limestone cliffs on Cheow Lan Lake (also known as Ratchaprapha Dam), a visit to the caves, time on the water by canoe, and a night sleeping on a floating raft house, an experience you simply can't find in a city.
The trip suits couples, families, groups of friends and solo travelers who want to enjoy nature and relax without committing to a long journey.
Day 1: Boat Ride, Caves and a Night on the Lake
Times are approximate and may change depending on your program and the weather.
Late morning: Arrive at the pier and board the boat Meet at the pier, pack what you need for the night, and board a longtail boat into the lake. On the way you'll pass tall limestone mountains and emerald-green water, so keep your camera ready.
Midday: Lunch on the raft Once you reach your accommodation, lunch is served. All our programs include food that can be refilled, so eat well before the afternoon activities.
Afternoon: Caves and lake exploring The highlight of the day is a cave visit, such as Coral Cave or Diamond Cave, depending on the program you choose. After that you can paddle a canoe around the raft houses, take a swim, or simply sit back and enjoy the view.
Evening: Sunset and dinner As the sky changes color, the lake becomes especially peaceful. After dinner, sit by the water and look up. With no city lights, the sky can be full of stars on a clear night. Some programs offer extras such as a night safari, so ask us in advance.
Day 2: Misty Morning and the Trip Back
Early morning: Mist over the lake Get up a little early and step outside. On many mornings mist floats over the water and the mountains, and for many guests it is the best moment of the trip. Tea, coffee and hot water are available.
After breakfast: One last look and the return journey Pack up, board the boat and head back to the pier, with one more chance to enjoy the scenery before you go.
