4 Days 3 Nights.
Cheolan Lake + Krabi and Lanta Island
Too many destinations, not enough certainty. In today’s travel world, the options are endless — but the risk of a forgettable trip is real. That’s why JC Tour created a Southern Thailand package that cuts through the noise. We don’t hope for memorable; we guarantee it. This is a curated collection of the most consistently praised destinations — places where travelers from around the globe return saying, "I’d go again in a heartbeat." Rain or shine, high or low season — these places never disappoint.
The secret? Location and intention. The journey centers around three standout spots: the mystical calm of Cheow Lan Lake in Khao Sok, the untouched beauty of Hong Islands in Krabi, and the tranquil charm of Koh Lanta, where peace and character linger long after you leave. These aren’t just pretty places — they’re proven winners, selected because they always leave a mark. Pair that with JC Tour’s upper-class service — hand-checked accommodations, pristine rooms, activities tailored for adults or special occasions — and the result is an experience where every minute feels worth it.
This isn’t off-the-shelf. JC Tour doesn’t recycle trips — this package is one-of-a-kind, designed to feel fresh, refined, and personal. It’s built for travelers who value something beyond the usual: authenticity, comfort, and the rare feeling that everything is just right. Before you book, take your time. Check the highlight images and read the full itinerary — no pressure, no rush. This trip was made to be unforgettable, and we want you to feel that from the very first look.
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.

Nice Beaches around the island.
 |
 |
Koh Lanta is what most islands used to be — and what travelers now dream of finding again. Despite the changing tides of tourism, this island has preserved its raw, untouched nature in a way that feels almost mythical. Stretching over 30 kilometers along the calm, crystal-clear Andaman Sea, Koh Lanta isn’t just a place you visit — it’s a place you stumble upon, like an explorer arriving before the world caught on. The island still breathes with a rural soul. Locals live slow, the jungle leans close to the shore, and nothing feels overbuilt or overrun.
And then there are the beaches — nine of them, all different, all stunning. Some are long and whisper-quiet, others framed by limestone cliffs or kissed by mangrove forests. But here’s the best part: you don’t have to choose. This trip brings you to every single one. You’ll get the full arc of Koh Lanta’s beauty — one beach at a time, one unforgettable stop after another. By the end, you won’t just know Koh Lanta. You’ll feel like you’ve lived it.
Lanta Around the island.
Koh Lanta isn’t just a destination — it’s a quiet work of art that slowly seeps into your heart. Touring the island isn’t about ticking off viewpoints or rushing through sights. It’s a gentle, immersive process — a kind of visual poetry, told through nature, culture, and silence. Old wooden houses, deserted beaches, quiet hilltop lookouts, timeworn cafés, and locals with an effortlessly distinct character — none of it feels staged, but together, it forms a masterpiece that unfolds at its own pace. This is where you begin to realize: the most imperfect things often hold the deepest beauty.
Every moment here feels like stepping through a living gallery. One beach might have a lone traveler sunbathing in peace, while just up the road, a local woman in a sarong rides her motorbike past with a soft smile. Nobody’s rushing. Nobody’s interrupting. The contrast doesn’t clash — it harmonizes, like brushstrokes in a painting guided by an unseen, world-class artist. This is the essence of travel as art — not science. And Koh Lanta is the canvas.
Resort on Lanta Island
This isn’t just a place to stay — it’s the reason you won’t want to leave. The resort isn’t a stopover; it’s a destination in itself. Every room has been personally inspected by JC Tour to meet meticulous standards — spotless, scent-free, dust-free, and completely dry. Every detail, from the linens to the lighting, is designed to make sure you can fully relax, without a single worry.
Each room opens onto a private terrace with a front-row view of the Andaman Sea. In the morning, sunlight pours through the ocean like it’s passing through silk. In the evening, the sky turns gold without needing a filter. This isn’t beauty you have to imagine — it’s right there in front of you, as vivid and perfect as if a master artist had painted it just for you to sit back and watch it come alive.
Cheowlan Lake
 |
 |
This isn’t just a visit to Cheow Lan Lake — it’s full access to every hidden angle, curated by JC Tour. Your journey begins at the top, quite literally, with a panoramic viewpoint on the dam ridge. From there, you’ll take in a breathtaking sweep of emerald-blue water and towering limestone peaks — a scene so surreal it feels lifted from a fantasy film. Then, board your own private longtail boat, gliding through still waters and winding between dramatic cliffs, where every turn reveals a new, unrepeatable view.
But the adventure doesn’t stop at the surface. You’ll trek through Khlong Saeng’s untouched jungle, feeling the raw presence of nature beneath your feet, before drifting across bamboo rafts toward the hidden Coral Cave — a limestone wonder sculpted purely by time and silence. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, you’ll cruise into the highlight known as “Thailand’s Guilin,” where vertical karst mountains rise straight from the lake in jaw-dropping formation. The final, exclusive stop? Frog Island — a curious little islet shaped like a frog, quietly sitting in the middle of the lake. Still unknown to most travelers, but not to you — because JC Tour takes you further than the guidebooks ever will.
Resort on Cheowlan Lake
One night on the water… with the best view Cheow Lan Lake has to offer. Tonight, you’ll stay right in the heart of the lake — on a floating raft carefully placed at one of the most stunning, handpicked locations in the entire reservoir. Step outside your room and you’re met with a horizon of limestone mountains, perfectly aligned like nature’s own backdrop. Throughout the day, a soft mist drifts across the peaks, wrapping the landscape in a quiet, almost dreamlike calm. No artificial noise. No distractions. Just you, stillness, and nature in its purest form.
Surrounding the raft is a wild stretch of forest and mineral-rich clay banks, where wildlife frequently emerges to drink and forage — giving you the rare chance to witness natural animal behavior without trekking deep into the jungle. And when you’re ready to explore, a personal kayak is yours to use. Paddle silently through hidden corners of the lake, discovering untouched pockets far from the usual boat routes. No engines. No wakes. Just total silence and 100% peace — so your time here feels not just restful, but genuinely untouched.
Clear Water Canal.
This is nature in its rawest form — untouched, unfiltered, and quietly spectacular. Khao Phang Suspension Bridge is one of Surat Thani’s hidden gems — a scenic overlook not yet flooded by crowds, where you can take in sweeping views of a winding river cutting through green valley walls. But the real charm begins when you cross the bridge. On the other side, you’ll find a peaceful fruit-farming village that still lives by simple traditions, with a humble local market where you can shop directly from the growers — no middlemen, no markups, just pure local flavor.
Then, JC Tour takes you deeper — into the heart of Ban Nam Rad Watershed Forest. This is the source of one of the region’s vital rivers, flowing through rich, protected jungle that remains completely natural and untouched by development. You’ll board a paddleboat, steered by a local guide, and drift gently through crystal-clear streams under a canopy of ancient trees. No motors. No noise. Just the sound of water, birdsong, and the feeling that you’ve stepped into a world that hasn’t changed in decades — peaceful, pure, and profoundly grounding.
Hong Island: Best Spot of Krabi
Hong Islands are nature in its purest, untouched form. This small cluster — including Koh Hong, Lao Lading, and Pak Bia — remains one of the last places in Thailand where nature still reigns. No resorts. No buildings. No commercial noise. Just white sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, towering limestone cliffs, and the unfiltered soundtrack of the wild. It feels like stepping into another world — one preserved for those truly ready to connect with nature.
With JC Tour’s WELD package, you’ll explore these islands in complete privacy. No crowds. No rush. Just space and time to truly absorb every moment — whether it’s sitting quietly on the beach, snorkeling among vibrant fish, or wandering through limestone trails and forest paths. This isn’t just an island tour — it’s a rare chance to experience nature the way it was always meant to be: untouched, unspoiled, and unforgettable.
Big Head Ghost Cave:
Tham Phi Hua To isn’t just a cave — it’s one of Southern Thailand’s most breathtaking and meaningful kayak routes. This journey takes you deep into a pristine mangrove forest, where towering trees form a natural tunnel overhead and silence wraps around you like a soft echo. As your paddle cuts gently through still water, you’ll hear only the sounds of birds, flowing tides, and the occasional creak of branches — nature’s soundtrack, pure and uninterrupted.
Along the way, you’ll pass through four remarkable caves, each with its own character: Tham Mued, a shadowy, maze-like cavern where sound seems to vanish; Tham Phet, with walls that shimmer like crystal under the light; Tham Dao Rung, where a skylight in the ceiling casts a single beam of sunlight into the darkness like something divine; and finally Tham Phi Hua To itself — a prehistoric cave filled with ancient wall paintings, powerful evidence of human life that once thrived here. This isn’t just a scenic route — it’s a journey through time, where every paddle stroke links the present with a forgotten past.
Holiday Inn Resort
Holiday Inn Resort Ao Nang – World-Class Comfort on Krabi’s Most Coveted Coastline
Perfectly positioned between Nopparat Thara Beach and Ao Nang, this resort sits on what is arguably the most beautiful and convenient stretch of coastline in Krabi. This is Holiday Inn Resort — not the Express — designed for true relaxation with upscale amenities, trusted global standards, and a quiet, private beachfront you’ll rarely find in such a prime location.
Rooms are tastefully designed with high-quality bedding and modern comforts. Multiple pools cater to both adults and families, while spacious open-air lounges line the edge of the sea — making every part of the resort feel connected to nature. Whether you're traveling with loved ones or looking for a private escape, every inch of this resort delivers ease, elegance, and calm. It’s the perfect balance of international-class service and laid-back beachfront living.

Program: 4 Days |
 |
 |
| Day 1: |
Arrival & Adventure in Cheow Lan Lake |
| 08:00 |
Your journey begins in Surat Thani
As soon as you step out of the arrivals gate at Surat Thani Airport, you’ll spot your name on a welcome sign held by your private JC Tour guide — a local expert assigned to accompany you throughout the trip. You’ll also meet your personal driver, trained to deliver top-tier service every step of the way.
A clean, private vehicle will be waiting to take you straight to Ratchaprapha Dam, also known as Cheow Lan Lake, one of the most breathtaking natural sights in southern Thailand. Once you arrive, you’ll enjoy panoramic views from the dam ridge, with opportunities to capture stunning photos from multiple viewpoints. Then, you’ll board your exclusive longtail boat — available 24 hours for both touring and relaxation throughout your stay. |
| 09:00 |
Scenic cruise & Khlong Saeng Wildlife Sanctuary
Your boat will glide across emerald-green water, weaving through jagged karst formations rising dramatically from the lake — the submerged peaks of ancient mountains, still covered in lush vegetation. After about an hour, you’ll arrive at Khlong Saeng Wildlife Sanctuary, home to rare and protected species.
Stretch your legs with a light jungle trek, suitable for all fitness levels. Along the trail, you may spot dusky langurs, civets, barking deer, gibbons, and — with a bit of luck — wild elephants or even gaur in the distance.
Next comes a truly unique experience: a motorized bamboo raft ride deep into the forest, where you’ll visit a compact but stunning multi-chambered cave, featuring a variety of stalactites and stalagmites shaped over thousands of years. |
| 12:30 |
Check-in and lunch at your floating resort
Time to rest and refuel. Your boat will return to your floating villa, set in one of the most scenic and secluded areas of the lake — surrounded by misty limestone cliffs and mirror-still water, completely free from passing tour boats.
After check-in and unpacking, enjoy a delicious lunch prepared with care by the resort’s staff, served in a peaceful, open-air setting. |
| 14:00 |
Visit the iconic Three Brothers Rock and Frog Island
Once you’ve rested, your guide will escort you by boat to Three Brothers Rock — the postcard-perfect symbol of Cheow Lan Lake. Take your time exploring and capturing the scenery from every angle; there’s no rush on this trip. |
| 15:00 |
Relax at exclusive Frog Island
Next, you’ll head to Frog Island, a hidden gem known to locals as "Koh Kang Kok." This quiet island is reserved exclusively for special JC Tour packages like yours.
Here you can swim, paddle a kayak, or simply relax and enjoy the breeze. Your guide will serve your choice of afternoon drinks — from hot or iced coffee to refreshing cold beverages — all included as part of your experience. |
| 16:30 |
Sunset time at your floating retreat
Return to your floating resort for a leisurely evening. Take a swim directly from your private deck or kayak out to explore nearby salt-lick clay banks, where wildlife often appears near dusk to forage. With no boat noise in this part of the lake, you’ll enjoy complete peace and quiet. |
| 18:00 |
Private dinner under the stars
End your first day with a special dinner at the resort, surrounded by still water and soft evening light. Savor carefully prepared dishes in a tranquil, intimate atmosphere — the perfect close to a remarkable first day. |
| Day 2: |
Wonders of Nature & the Andaman’s Coastal Charms |
| 06:00 |
Misty sunrise over the lake
Wake up to a surreal scene as thick morning mist blankets the vast surface of Cheow Lan Lake, drifting all the way to the steps of your floating villa. Breathe in the crisp mountain air and soak in a silence so pure, it feels like time stands still. |
| 07:00 |
Breakfast with the first light
Enjoy a freshly prepared breakfast at the resort, while watching the golden sun slowly rise above the mountains, casting shimmering reflections across the calm water — a moment of beauty you won’t easily forget. |
| 08:30 |
Farewell to Cheow Lan Lake
It’s time to say goodbye to your floating hideaway. Your guide will escort you back to the pier to begin the next leg of your journey. |
| 09:00 |
Into nature’s hidden masterpiece
From Ratchaprapha Dam, your boat ride continues toward one of southern Thailand’s most treasured secrets — a place sculpted by nature, waiting to be discovered. |
| 10:00 |
The crystal-clear waters of Ban Nam Rad
Arrive at Ban Nam Rad Watershed Forest, home to one of Thailand’s clearest natural pools. So pure, you can see fish swimming below the surface with perfect clarity. Here, you’re invited to take a dip in the cool, refreshing headwaters before stepping into a one-of-a-kind experience: a guided kayak journey with a local paddler.
This serene paddle takes you deep into the forest, through an ecosystem rich with towering trees, wild orchids, creeping vines, and rare wildlife — an untouched world that few travelers get to see. |
| 11:30 |
Khao Phang Suspension Bridge & local village life
Next, head to Khao Phang Suspension Bridge — a scenic spot overlooking the winding Tapi River. Cross over to discover a charming fruit-farming village. Hop aboard a three-wheeled farm trailer for a ride through the orchards. During harvest season, you’re welcome to pick and taste the fruits directly from the trees — no extra charge.
At the bridge entrance, you’ll also find a lively local community market, where you can browse unique regional products and souvenirs. |
| 12:00 |
Riverside lunch on the Tapi River
Recharge with a relaxed lunch at a riverside restaurant, savoring delicious southern Thai flavors in a peaceful, natural setting. |
| 13:00 |
Journey to Ao Nang, Krabi
After lunch, continue your trip as you head south toward your next destination: the beach town of Ao Nang in Krabi. |
| 15:00 |
Kayaking adventure at Tham Phi Hua To
Arrive at Tham Phi Hua To, one of the most stunning and immersive kayak routes in southern Thailand. Explore four incredible caves — including the prehistoric Tham Phi Hua To (with its ancient cave paintings), Tham Mued, Tham Khang Khao, and Tham Fa Rung — each offering unique beauty and mystery.
Paddle through lush mangrove forests, under limestone arches, and into the calm waters of an inland bay. The peaceful atmosphere and otherworldly scenery make this a truly unforgettable experience. |
| 17:00 |
Check-in at Holiday Inn Resort, Ao Nang
Settle into your beachfront resort: the Holiday Inn Resort (not Express) — a premium property nestled between Nopparat Thara Beach and Ao Nang. Your room offers comfort, elegance, and easy access to both the beach and the town. Enjoy the beautifully designed swimming pools or unwind with a peaceful walk along the private stretch of coastline. |
| 18:30 |
Beachfront dinner & Ao Nang evening stroll
Your guide will escort you to a romantic beachfront dinner spot, where you can enjoy local cuisine with your feet in the sand. After dinner, you’re free to explore Ao Nang’s charming night scene at your own pace — lively shops, cafés, and beach bars are just steps from your resort. Head back whenever you’re ready. |
| Day 3: |
Into the Andaman Blue & Island Life on Koh Lanta |
| 07:00 |
A slow island morning
Take it easy this morning. Sleep in a little, then wake to the gentle rhythm of the sea outside your window. Enjoy breakfast at your beachfront resort in Ao Nang, with no rush — just you, the view, and the laid-back pace of island life. |
| 09:00 |
Check-out & gear up for the sea
Pack your bags and get ready to explore the underwater world of Krabi. After check-out, your private guide will lead you to a custom-outfitted private longtail boat, designed specifically for snorkeling adventures. Life vests and snorkeling gear are fully prepared — all you have to do is step aboard and relax as you cruise toward one of the most spectacular marine destinations in the region: the Hong Islands.
Your island-hopping itinerary includes:
- Pak Bia Island – A highlight of the day where you'll snorkel among vibrant marine life and shallow coral reefs.
- Lao Lading Island – A hidden cove that feels like a natural lagoon. The crystal-clear waters, soft white sand, and abundant fish make this a dream spot for swimming and relaxing.
- Hong Island – The crown jewel of Krabi, beloved for its dramatic limestone cliffs and turquoise lagoon. Here, your guide will serve a delicious lunch picnic as you take in the panoramic views.
|
| 13:00 |
Light jungle walk & beach time at Hong Island
After lunch, enjoy a short nature trail into the heart of Hong Island, where you'll discover how untouched and well-preserved this area remains. Then it’s your time to unwind — snorkel, swim, walk barefoot on the beach, or simply lounge in the sun. The moment is yours. |
| 15:00 |
Return to shore & transfer to Koh Lanta
Head back to the pier for a quick shower and fresh clothes. Then you’ll depart for the next leg of your journey: Koh Lanta, a peaceful island haven just a short ferry ride away. |
| 17:00 |
Check-in at Hauben Resort, Koh Lanta
After a smooth transfer, you'll arrive at Hauben Resort, your coastal home for the night. All rooms are fully equipped, but what sets this resort apart is its sea-facing view and unbeatable location — close enough to walk to scenic viewpoints, yet quiet enough to feel far from the world. This is what island living is all about. |
| 18:00 |
Dinner at Saladan Beach
Your guide will take you out for dinner at Saladan Beach, the island’s charming “little town.” It’s relaxed and atmospheric, with beachfront restaurants serving fresh seafood, local dishes, and laid-back vibes that capture the essence of Koh Lanta. |
| 20:00 |
Evening by the sea
Return to your resort and wind down with a quiet evening. Whether you're watching the waves roll in, sipping a drink on your balcony, or simply listening to the sounds of the ocean — this is your moment to disconnect and truly be present. |
| Day 4: |
Circle the Island, Live the Local Way & A Meaningful Farewell |
| 07:00 |

It’s time to hit the road. Today, you’ll embark on a full loop around Koh Lanta Noi, the lesser-developed sister island of Koh Lanta Yai. Stretching over 30 kilometers, this side of the island offers untouched scenery and a window into the island’s agricultural roots and traditional way of life. |
| 09:00 |
Capture memories at all 9 beaches
Your guide will take you to all nine beaches of Koh Lanta — each with its own unique character and beauty. You'll stop to take in the views and snap photos at:

- Klong Nin Beach

|
| 10:00 |
Nature at its finest: Mu Ko Lanta National Park
Spend time at the island’s southernmost tip inside Mu Ko Lanta National Park, where you can swim in clear waters, enjoy the raw beauty of the coast, and take photos by the island’s iconic lighthouse, perched above the sea on a cliff. |
| 12:00 |
Step back in time at Lanta Old Town
Next, travel to Lanta Old Town, a well-preserved historic district filled with traditional wooden houses, old shopfronts, and multicultural influences. This seaside town feels like a portal to the past — a place where you can truly understand the island’s roots.
After a short stroll, enjoy lunch at Nice View Restaurant, where flavorful local dishes are served alongside stunning coastal scenery. |
| 14:00 |
Rest, refresh & prepare to depart
Return to your resort to shower and change. Your late check-out has already been arranged by JC Tour, giving you time to unwind and prepare comfortably for your journey home. Once ready, your driver will escort you to Krabi Airport. |
| 17:00 |
Farewell at Krabi Airport
You’ll arrive at Krabi Airport approximately 1.5 hours before your flight to allow ample time for check-in and boarding. We recommend booking an evening departure to ensure a relaxed, flexible final day.
As your guide and driver say their goodbyes, we hope you leave not just with memories — but with a deep connection to the places you’ve seen. From the still waters of Cheow Lan Lake to the ancient mangroves of Tham Phi Hua To, and now the heartfelt charm of Koh Lanta, you’ve been on a journey that was designed to connect — not just destinations, but feelings.
You are now a WELDer — someone who brings together nature, culture, and emotion into a single, unforgettable experience. |
