This long-holiday journey takes you across the Andaman coast, into the unspoiled forests of the south, and even into Myanmar’s pristine waters. You’ll snorkel in the untouched coral zones of the Burmese sea, spend tranquil nights floating on the emerald waters of Cheow Lan Lake, wander lush jungle trails in Khao Sok, and dive into the colorful coral gardens around Chumphon’s twin Ngam Islands — a national underwater treasure.

Cheolan Lake
 |
 |
Cheow Lan Lake – A Sunken World, A Living Wonder
Officially known as Ratchaprapha Dam, Cheow Lan Lake stretches across a vast expanse of southern Thailand. Beneath its emerald surface lies a once-thriving world — villages, schools, rice fields, even temples — all now hidden underwater. What remains above is nothing short of breathtaking: towering limestone cliffs rising from the lake like ancient guardians, rainforest-covered islets, and a rich, untouched ecosystem teeming with rare wildlife. It’s nature in its rawest form — haunting, beautiful, and alive.
A Journey Through Nature’s Masterpiece
This trip takes you deep into every stunning corner of Cheow Lan, designed with an eco-conscious “Safe the Nature” approach. You’ll cruise across glassy waters by traditional longtail boat, stay in floating bungalows surrounded by jungle silence, and explore hidden inlets where time stands still. It’s not just a tour — it’s an encounter with a one-of-a-kind landscape that exists nowhere else on Earth. Pure, wild, and unforgettable.
Emerald Heart Island
The Myanmar Sea — Unfiltered, Unmatched
Say what you will about other beaches, but after years of experience, we know this for sure: the trip to Heart Island (Cocks Comb), Horseshoe Island, and South Bay is the most complete island-hopping experience you can find. Powder-white beaches, surreal sea curves, and crystal-clear waters set the stage — especially at Horseshoe Island, where the natural bay bends like something out of a dream.
A Dive Into Rare Beauty
You’ll swim through the heart-shaped lagoon of Cocks Comb Island, surrounded by soft corals in shocking colors, and explore South Bay — home to some of the most stunning rose coral formations anywhere in the region. It’s beauty with a thrill, nature with soul. And yes, this trip covers it all. No skipping, no rushing — just the full experience of a sea that still feels untouched.
National Park Khaosok.
 |
 |
Khao Sok – Asia’s Hidden Natural Giant
Spanning over 500,000 square kilometers and touching multiple provinces, Khao Sok is more than a national park — it’s a living, breathing rainforest system. From dense tropical jungle to open-canopy forest, from winding rivers to the vast Ratchaprapha Dam, this protected area is one of the most pristine and ecologically diverse in all of Asia. It’s where raw nature thrives — untouched, unscripted, and utterly majestic.
Where Nature Heals and Adventure Begins
This is the place Scandinavians can’t stop talking about — a favorite escape for those who crave real connection with the wild. JC Tour’s trip into Khao Sok blends pure adventure with deep calm: canoeing through quiet rivers, trekking under ancient canopies, swimming in hidden streams. Whether it’s you, your family, or a group of friends, this journey gives you the freedom to let go, recharge, and fully immerse in nature at its most spectacular.
Mathra Archipelago Chumphon.
Matra Archipelago – Gulf of Thailand’s Underwater Gem
This island group — made up of Koh Rad, Koh Langkajiew, and Koh Lawa — is home to some of the most stunning underwater scenery in the entire Gulf of Thailand. Each island brings its own character: vibrant reefs, unique marine life, and crystal-clear waters that shift from turquoise to deep sapphire. What they share is a level of natural beauty that’s nothing short of jaw-dropping.
A Trip That Will Truly Impress
Whether you're exploring with friends or spending quality time with family, this is the kind of trip that leaves everyone speechless. The reefs are alive, the beaches are untouched, and the water is impossibly clear. If you're looking for that one place that delivers the full "tropical paradise" experience — this is it. You’ll be amazed you’re still in the Gulf of Thailand. Guaranteed.
Flowers Wall
Flowers Wall, Chumphon – One of Asia’s Most Breathtaking Snorkeling Sites
If the definition of “the best” means effortless beauty — no diving skills required, just floating on the surface and letting nature unveil its masterpiece — then Flowers Wall stands as one of the most perfect snorkeling spots in all of Asia. Here, vast gardens of sea anemones and soft corals bloom openly beneath the waves, painting a living canvas as vivid as an 8K film projected right before your eyes. There’s no need to chase after fish or dive deep — simply surrender to the gentle current, and the underwater world will reveal itself in stunning, cinematic clarity from the very first moment your mask touches the water.
Ordinarily, the human brain filters over 11 million bits of visual data per second, allowing us to perceive only a mere 40. But at Flowers Wall, that balance is shattered. The explosion of colors, the intricate coral shapes, and the graceful choreography of countless fish overwhelm every sense — a flood of beauty too vast for the mind to edit. It’s not just a snorkeling site; it’s a sensory awakening, a moving image so perfect that your brain can’t help but record every detail. At Flowers Wall, you don’t just see the ocean — you remember it in high definition forever.

| 13:15 |
We continue to the magical freshwater oasis of Ban Nam Rad Watershed Forest. Swim in crystal-clear water, explore the jungle surroundings, and spot brightly colored freshwater fish in a stream so clear it seems invisible. A truly hidden gem of Surat Thani. |

Arrive in Khao Sok, home to one of the oldest rainforests in the world. Begin your immersion into the wild with a peaceful bamboo raft ride along the Sok River. Drift past towering cliffs, tropical trees, and through a natural cave corridor. Nature here is raw, pure, and unforgettable. |

Arrive at the dam’s viewpoint. Step out and capture panoramic photos of one of Thailand’s most breathtaking inland landscapes — cliffs, green waters, and mountain silhouettes. |
| 10:00 |
Board your private longtail boat and glide across the vast lake. This isn’t just a transfer — it’s a scenic cruise past dramatic limestone karsts, forested islets, and surreal rock formations that emerge from the water like sculptures. |
| 10:30 |
Arrive at Khlong Saeng Wildlife Sanctuary — one of Thailand’s richest biodiversity zones. Step off the boat and walk a gentle jungle trail with chances to spot rare wildlife like dusky langurs, wild boars, great hornbills, barking deer, and even wild gaur. The area is also home to rare orchids, butterflies, and birds. |
| 11:30 |
The trail leads you to the other side of the jungle, where a floating raft ferry carries you over a pristine section of the lake to Coral Cave. Inside, you’ll explore five uniquely shaped chambers filled with stalactites and stalagmites — quiet, cool, and full of natural wonder. |
| 12:30 |
Lunch is served at a floating raft house restaurant. Eat surrounded by stunning lake views and schools of freshwater fish beneath the surface. It’s peaceful, beautiful, and deeply immersive. |
| 13:30 |
Visit the iconic "Three Brothers" limestone peaks — better known as Thailand’s Guilin. This is one of the lake’s most famous photo spots. Take your time. Since you have a private boat, there’s no rush to move on. |
| 14:00 |
Cool off in the lake at a designated swimming zone, surrounded by small mountain peaks. Rope swings and floating pontoons make this a perfect, safe spot for a little adventure in the water. |
| 16:00 |
Return to the pier, wrapping up a truly complete and unhurried Cheow Lan Lake experience. |

Your private JC Tour vehicle and driver will be ready and waiting. From here, you’ll head west toward Ranong province — a scenic drive into a slower, coastal lifestyle. |

| 19:00 |

| 10:15 |
Set off at 36 knots across open sea toward the legendary Cocks Comb Island — known as Heart Island. In just over an hour, you’ll arrive at one of the most magical snorkeling spots in Southeast Asia. This island was formed by an underwater volcanic eruption 5,000 years ago. |
| 10:30 |
Snorkel along the outer reef where seaweed beds and giant gorgonians stretch across the seabed. Then, swim gently through a narrow sea tunnel into the heart-shaped lagoon — a hidden sanctuary filled with soft coral and clownfish colonies. It’s playful, colorful, and impossibly surreal. |
| 12:00 |
Next, arrive at Horseshoe Island — a location so spectacular, it was originally scouted for filming The Beach before production shifted to Maya Bay. This island group consists of three interconnected islands. The largest has a naturally curved bay with calm, crystal-clear water thanks to the surrounding formations that block ocean waves.
Walk the soft, powder-white sand, explore limestone caves inland, and take in the untouched beauty. A pop-up island restaurant is set up here for travelers — enjoy your lunch in paradise. |
| 13:00 |
After lunch, your guide leads a coral reef walk along the bay. Discover fields of Sea Fans and vibrant marine life. Swim, snorkel, or paddle a kayak along the shoreline. The water is clear and calm — perfect for all activity levels. |
| 14:00 |
Last stop: South Bay at Koh Yan Shuek — a protected coral zone near a military area, where the reefs remain intact and vibrant. Due to strict controls, fishing and coral damage are minimal here.

Snorkeling Royalty in the Gulf of Thailand |
| 06:00 |
Early morning start. JC Tour staff will have your breakfast box ready — thoughtfully prepared for your comfort on the road. |

| 08:30 |
Arrive at JC Tour’s private pier in Chumphon. Enjoy hot coffee, tea, Thai snacks, and cold beverages while our staff helps you get fitted with the right snorkeling gear. There’s no rush. You’ll have time to change into your sea-ready clothing and store your belongings safely in the vehicle. |
| 09:00 |
Step aboard your private charter boat — this entire island-hopping trip is reserved for your group only. Destination: the Matra Archipelago, often called “Thailand’s Raja Ampat” by those who know their reefs.
- Koh Lak Rad is your first stop — the most biodiverse snorkeling site in the region. You’ll swim above sprawling anemone gardens, glide through schools of clownfish, and spot blacktip reef sharks (harmless), giant clams in every color, and antler coral fields stretching across the seabed. Marine life here is at its peak. You'll be stunned that this is in Thailand — it feels like another world.
- Koh Langkajiew features a stunning congregation of giant clams — some larger than a rice bowl — nestled among lush seaweed coral gardens. The water here is calm, shallow, and brilliantly clear, making it perfect for all ages and skill levels.
|
| 12:00 |
Anchor at Koh Matra and step onto the white-sand beach via the island’s wooden pier. What makes this place unforgettable isn’t just the scenery — it’s the sheer density of marine life. Just steps off the shore, you can drift into a swirling mass of tropical fish — hundreds of thousands, possibly millions. Stay still and you become part of the school.
This beach reef is one of the finest shallow snorkel zones in the world — second only to Raja Ampat in its beauty and biodiversity. Enjoy a beachside lunch surrounded by calm, turquoise water and natural silence. |
| 14:00 |
Final stop: Koh Lawa — a full-circle coral garden wrapping around the island. This is like snorkeling through a landscaped aquarium. You’ll find soft corals, brain corals, branching corals, and reef fish of every color weaving through the terrain. The calm water and rich visuals make this the perfect ending to a full day at sea. |
| 16:00 |
Return to the private pier. Your private vehicle and driver will be waiting to take you to your next stay: The Nest Resort, a beachfront oasis with direct access to the quiet, serene sands of Bang Son Beach.
Unwind by the infinity pool, walk the private beach, or simply soak in the tropical stillness — you’ve earned this moment. |
| 18:00 |
Dinner at Freedom Restaurant, a local favorite known for fresh seafood and elevated coastal dishes. JC Tour’s private car will handle round-trip transport. |
| 19:30 |
Return to the resort. The rest of the evening is yours — beachfront, quiet, and beautifully remote. |
| Day 5: |
Whale Sharks, Coral Walls, and a Farewell Like No Other |
| 07:00 |
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at the resort. Today’s adventure brings you up close to one of the ocean’s most majestic creatures. |
| 08:00 |
Check out and pack your belongings — JC Tour’s private vehicle will keep everything safe and ready for your return.
Then it’s time for the day’s highlight: a marine safari in the pristine Chumphon Archipelago, home to rare reef walls and the gentle giant — the spotted whale shark.
Your private guide introduces the day’s plan before boarding our top-tier custom-built longtail boat, crafted from fiberglass for speed, comfort, and style. First stop: Koh Ran Kai, the “Flower Wall” of Thailand.
Dive into a dazzling underwater slope covered in vibrant anemones and sea fans. The coral wall extends from deep to shallow, filled with thousands of colorful reef fish. The scene is breathtaking — vibrant, alive, and comparable in beauty to the famous Flower Wall of Raja Ampat. |
| 11:00 |
Move on to Koh Ran Ped, known for its almost daily visits from the star of the show — the spotted whale shark. Massive, calm, and graceful, this beautiful creature often swims slowly near the surface, allowing for rare, close-up snorkeling moments.
Surrounding reefs here are equally impressive — healthy, diverse, and teeming with life. This is an unforgettable dive site, full of beauty and awe. |
| 12:00 |
Anchor at Koh Yor, a peaceful mid-sea island surrounded by swarming reef fish below. Lunch is served island-style: fresh blue crab, shrimp, squid, and local fish dishes — all prepared just before departure. (If anyone prefers non-seafood meals, please let us know in advance — we’re happy to accommodate.) |
| 13:00 |
After lunch, your guide leads a scenic walk on the 380-degree wooden boardwalk that circles the island. Panoramic views stretch in every direction — turquoise sea, forested coastlines, and endless blue sky. It's a peaceful way to end the sea portion of your journey. |
| 14:30 |
Return to the private pier where clean, well-equipped shower rooms await. Freshen up, change into comfortable clothes, and take your time — this part is about feeling relaxed and refreshed.
Afterward, we make a brief stop at a local souvenir shop for authentic gifts and keepsakes from Chumphon. |
16:00 – 18:00
(Flexible) |
Transfer to Chumphon Airport. JC Tour’s private vehicle and staff remain with you all the way through — no rush, no confusion.
