One Day Tour
Cheow Lan Lake and Nature Safari
There’s a hidden world in the heart of Southern Thailand where time slows down and nature takes over. Cheow Lan Lake, nestled within Khao Sok National Park, is no ordinary reservoir—it's a vast, emerald sea dotted with jungle-covered limestone peaks that once stood as mountaintops. When the valley was flooded, the highlands became islands, and today, they rise dramatically from tranquil waters like something from a forgotten dream.
On JC Tour’s exclusive one-day journey, you’ll explore both the iconic highlights and secret corners of the lake that few ever see. Glide across mirror-still waters in a traditional long-tail boat, walk through misty jungle trails to hidden caves, and swim in quiet coves where ancient rainforests meet the water's edge. These handpicked locations are off the tourist radar—designed to give you a sense of discovery, solitude, and awe.
This is more than a tour; it’s a story you’ll become part of. With warm service, knowledgeable guides, and thoughtful details woven into every step, JC Tour crafts an experience that feels personal and unforgettable. As you float beneath towering cliffs and hear the call of distant gibbons echoing through the trees, you’ll know—you’ve stepped into one of Thailand’s true natural wonders.
We recommend reviewing the full itinerary and checking out some highlight photos from the trip before booking. If you'd like to speak directly with a real JC Tour staff member (not a bot), feel free to contact us anytime at 089-5727603, WhatsApp: +66 848053153, or Email: jctourthailand@gmail.com.

Cheowlan Lake
Cheow Lan Lake in Khao Sok National Park is a vast, stunning reservoir created by the Ratchaprapha Dam—an otherworldly landscape where mist-shrouded cliffs rise from emerald water and ancient rainforest clings to every peak. Hidden deep within this freshwater sea are unmissable highlights, like the Nine-Chamber Limestone Cave, glittering with natural crystals, tucked away in dense jungle. Then there’s the iconic “Three Brothers Mountain”, three uniquely shaped limestone towers standing together in a surreal echoing bay—a lake within the lake, surrounded by stillness and sound.
But with so many hidden corners and limited time, most travelers miss the full magic of Cheow Lan. That’s where the right tour makes all the difference. JC Tour’s eco-adventure boat trips are carefully crafted to blend exploration, serenity, and surprise. You’ll glide through untouched inlets, hike to secret caves, and maybe—just maybe—spot wild animals like dusky langurs or hornbills in their natural habitat. It’s not just sightseeing—it’s an immersive journey into Thailand’s living wilderness, where each turn of the boat feels like opening a new chapter in a story you didn’t know you were part of.
Frog Island
On a secluded island in the heart of Ratchaprapha Dam lies Frog Island—also known as Toad Hill—a pristine, untouched sanctuary surrounded by emerald waters. With no buildings, no crowds, and no interruptions, this is where raw nature speaks loudest. You can hike around the island’s lush terrain with an experienced forest ranger from the National Park Department as your guide, or simply sit back and take in 360-degree panoramic views that stretch across limestone peaks and silent waters. It’s a moment made for stillness, reflection, and awe—perfectly tailored for those who crave space, peace, and privacy. And because this is a private tour, you’re free to explore at your own rhythm—no rush, no pressure, just you and nature in perfect balance.
Hidden Jungle Walk in Lake.
Deep within the emerald heart of Cheow Lan Lake lies a forest preserved like a secret—Klong Saeng Wildlife Sanctuary, a protected island jungle overseen by Thailand’s National Park and Forestry Department. Here, the trail isn’t manicured or made for tourists; it’s raw, real, and alive. You’ll walk under the towering shade of trees that have stood for centuries, their roots tangled into stories of time. The path is rough, off-road, and thrilling—one moment you're stepping over twisted roots, the next you're stopping in silence as the call of an unseen animal echoes through the jungle. Somewhere above, a forest bird sings a tune no one can name.
But this rare beauty comes with a challenge—how do you experience wild nature without disturbing it? That’s why this trail is guided only by rangers who understand the land deeply and lead with respect, not control. They don’t just point out plants and animals—they teach you how to see the forest as it wants to be seen. Klong Saeng is not just a trek; it’s a conversation with nature, one where you listen more than you speak. And in doing so, you become part of something bigger—something real, timeless, and increasingly rare in the world.
