Day 2
KHAO LAK
A sumptuous breakfast this morning coupled with an excursion of exploring the hidden treasures of Khao Sok Lake. Khao Sok Lake, otherwise known as Cheow Lan Lake, lies at the heart of Khao Sok National Park. This highly recommended trip combines the best aspects of the National Park with a visit to the beautiful Khao Sok Lake too. We begin our trip with bamboo rafting along the Sok River. On the way we will stop at the river bank for cave exploration and a coffee break with the coffee served in bamboo cups that you can take home with you as a souvenir. Next we have a Thai-style lunch at a local restaurant on the bank of the Sok River, after which we drive to the pier and board a classic Thai long tail boat to proceed to the floating house settlement on the water of Cheow Lan Lake. Relax, swim or take a kayak to explore the lake and its fantastic limestone formations. Overnight at Khao Lak.
Day 3
KHAO LAK
Another day in paradise today, as you continue your date with the sun, sea and the sand. Relax and enjoy the environs. If you are travelling between November - April, a good option would be the snorkelling excursion to either Similan Islands OR Surin Islands. If not, visit to Phang Ngas hidden gem - James Bond Island and Phang Nga Bay are a must see for anyone visiting Khao Lak. The Bay is an impressive body of water at over 400 km2 and is renowned for its many dramatic limestone islands. A boat tour is the perfect way to explore Phang Nga Bay. These distinctive sheer rock formations jut vertically out of the emerald green water and at low tide hidden lagoons can be found through exposed cave tunnels entered by sea canoes.
