Mountain, Lake and Islands
3 Day 2 Nights.
Two Paradises, One Seamless Journey: The Ultimate Upper Class Escape
For discerning travelers who refuse to settle for ordinary, JC Tour presents a luxury travel experience crafted with intention — connecting two of Thailand’s most breathtaking destinations in a single, seamless journey. The Cheow Lan Lake, with its emerald waters and towering limestone cliffs, meets the untouched serenity of the Surin Islands, a rare jewel of the Andaman Sea. This package isn’t just a vacation; it’s a masterfully curated escape for those who understand that time is precious — and every moment deserves to be unforgettable.
Too often, high-end travelers are forced to choose: mountain or sea, jungle or reef, stillness or adventure. Why compromise? This package solves that dilemma by delivering both extremes of beauty — the raw, misty peaks of Cheow Lan and the pristine, underwater wonderland of the Surin Archipelago — in one elegant itinerary. With handpicked accommodations, private transfers, and thoughtful touches throughout, the journey is elevated to a level worthy of its Upper Class guests. Every detail is designed to eliminate stress and maximize wonder.
Start with the calm majesty of Cheow Lan, where forested islets rise from the mist like ancient temples, and nature whispers its stories through birdsong and rustling leaves. Then transition effortlessly to the Surin Islands, where coral gardens bloom beneath crystal-clear waters and the world above the surface fades away. This isn’t just travel. It’s a rare opportunity to reconnect — with nature, with loved ones, and with the best version of yourself. Ready to invest in something truly unforgettable? The adventure awaits.
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.

Cheolan Lake

 |
Cheow Lan Lake: A New Dimension of Wilderness and Wonder
Where once lay sprawling forests, villages, temples, and endless rice fields, there now stretches an otherworldly expanse of emerald water known as Cheow Lan Lake — or Ratchaprapha Dam. Born from the union of three rivers and the rise of the reservoir, this vast inland sea spans tens of thousands of acres. Jagged mountain peaks that once stood quietly on land now rise defiantly from the water as surreal limestone islands, each with its own mysterious form. Light dances through the mist and onto the lake’s surface, casting shades of turquoise that rival the Andaman Sea. The surrounding forest, spared from submersion, remains rich and wild — a sanctuary for rare wildlife. The lake itself mirrors the sky like a giant sheet of glass, revealing nature’s hidden magic with every ripple.
Into the Heart of Stone and Silence
This journey isn’t just about traveling — it’s about entering the soul of the landscape. Paddle through a dreamlike maze of water and jungle, where time slows and every turn reveals a new secret carved by wind and water. Towering cliffs and labyrinthine coves invite you to get lost — not in confusion, but in awe. With this package, you'll explore the lake’s quiet corners and untouched inlets, allowing your imagination to run free while soaking in the surreal harmony between human engineering and untouched nature. This is a place so seamlessly blended, so intricately beautiful, you may forget it was shaped by human hands. Here, nature doesn’t just survive — it transcends.
Anemone Area
Anemone: A Hidden World Beneath the Waves
Beneath the ocean’s surface lies a kingdom alive with color and curiosity — the world of anemones. From vibrant sea flowers swaying gently with the current, to entire families of clownfish darting playfully between the tentacles, to soft corals dancing like underwater fire, this marine realm teems with life. But beyond the beauty lies mystery. Their bold behavior and fearless nature raise questions — are these tiny creatures shaped by instinct alone, or do they echo some ancient influence, like the elusive Normantiere? No matter how feisty they appear, clownfish remain the ocean’s darlings — universally beloved and endlessly fascinating, drawing people of all ages into their vivid world.
Dive into Imagination at Nemo’s Garden
Code Slinger has curated a one-of-a-kind snorkeling experience — a journey through shallow waters rich with Nemo sightings and thriving anemone colonies. Here, you’ll float above scenes that feel straight from a dream, so close you can almost reach out (but please don’t — let nature remain untouched). This is not just a snorkel tour; it’s an invitation to use your imagination — the same tool Albert Einstein valued above knowledge — to explore, question, and marvel at a world few truly see. Let your wonder lead the way as you connect with marine life in an unforgettable, joy-filled adventure that blurs the line between science, story, and soul.
Suthep - Ecology
Capital of Marine Life: The Crown Jewel of Surin’s Underwater World
Among the many stunning bays of the Surin Islands, one stands out as a sanctuary of rare abundance — known affectionately by divers and marine biologists as the Capital of Marine Life. Here, a sprawling coral reef, perfectly intact and bursting with biodiversity, blankets the entire bay like an underwater metropolis. It serves as both home and nursery to a dazzling variety of marine species — from tiny, shimmering reef fish to majestic swimmers of deeper waters, all coexisting in this vibrant underwater community.
A Symphony of Complexity and Beauty — Like a Patek Philippe Ref. 89
Gaze down through waters so clear they mirror the sky, and you’ll witness a marine world as intricate as it is breathtaking. Corals of every shape, color, and species weave together into a seamless tapestry, with sea anemones tucked among them like wildflowers in a hidden garden. The effect is mesmerizing — complexity turned into elegance, much like the inner workings of a Patek Philippe Ref. 89, one of the most intricate timepieces ever made. Every inch of this bay reflects nature’s craftsmanship at its finest. For those seeking the true magic of the sea, this isn’t just a snorkeling spot — it’s an underwater masterpiece waiting to be explored.
Moken English- Sea Gypsy
The Moken Village: Echoes of a Seafaring Civilization
Far removed from the reach of modern civilization lies a village that floats between time and tide — the home of the sea-faring clans, known as the Moken. Here, over 100 households share bloodlines, stories, and a way of life that defies imitation. Visitors are invited not just to witness a culture, but to step into a living legacy — one shaped by the rhythms of the ocean, not the clock. The Moken people hold fast to their traditions, beliefs, and ancestral knowledge, living in harmony with the sea that has sustained them for generations.
Untouched by the conveniences of the mainland, this community continues a lifestyle that mirrors that of pre-agricultural hunter-gatherers — not in hardship, but in deep connection with nature. Their survival skills, intuitive navigation, and spiritual bond with the ocean offer rare insight into a worldview shaped by water, not land. To visit is not merely to observe, but to reflect on what it means to live simply, skillfully, and soulfully — in tune with the world, not apart from it.
Maingam and Krating Bay
 |
 |
Ao Mai Ngam: A Shallow-Water Paradise
At Ao Mai Ngam, the beauty begins with a sweeping beach that seems to stretch endlessly — but the true magic lies just beneath the surface. This bay is renowned for its vibrant shallow coral reefs, so shallow in fact that during low tide, you can see corals from above the waterline. On high tide, all it takes is a gentle float to witness a world alive with color. Scattered throughout are sea anemones that shelter playful clownfish, creating bursts of movement and life across the reef. The JC Tour design team has carefully selected and marked the best snorkeling spots for you in advance — no guessing, no searching, just effortless access to underwater wonder. Pack your gear and get ready to drift into a vibrant world where every glance reveals another marvel of the sea.
Venture Deeper into Nature at Ao Krating
But the adventure doesn’t stop there. From Ao Mai Ngam, we’ll guide you to the next hidden gem: Ao Krating. The journey begins with a nature trail crafted to let you “hack” into the natural cycles of Surin Island — not just walk through them. As you move through untouched forest, you’ll feel the island slowly revealing itself. At Ao Krating, you’ll emerge into a pristine cove that lives up to its reputation as the island’s true Untouched Area. Here, the sea is yours alone. Swim, snorkel, beachcomb, or climb up the bay’s edge to discover stunning views above and below. Let your curiosity run wild and explore this secluded jewel of the Surin Islands on your own terms — because at Ao Krating, the best discoveries are the ones you make for yourself.
Sai Ene Bay
Sai Ren Bay: A Hidden Sanctuary of Untouched Nature
Tucked far from the beaten tourist trails, Sai Ren Bay is a rare gem—untouched, unspoiled, and almost otherworldly in its purity. Ordinary trips won’t take you here, and that’s exactly what makes this place extraordinary. Its seclusion has allowed the marine ecosystem to thrive without interference, where vibrant coral reefs and sea creatures move freely in their natural rhythm, undisturbed by the noise of human presence. It's not just a destination—it’s a living museum of the ocean's original state.
On the second day of this exclusive journey, you'll also explore Mae Yai Bay and Chong Kad Bay, each one a pristine dive site that feels like stepping into a secret chapter of the natural world. These places aren’t just beautiful—they’re alive with meaning for nature explorers seeking to connect with the raw essence of marine life. Every moment spent here becomes a personal story—one that rewrites how you see the ocean, and perhaps, even how you see yourself.
Rope Bridge - Fruits Garden
From City Streets to the Heart of Nature: A Journey into Rural Serenity
Step away from the chaos of the city and into a world wrapped in calm and abundance. Here, nature breathes in wide open spaces—lush orchards, rubber plantations, and riverbank farms stretch green and generous under the open sky. In the distance, gentle mountains rise and curve into the shape of a chubby heart—an uncanny, almost whimsical symbol of love and harmony resting quietly in the landscape.
A simple yet sturdy suspension bridge spans the river, inviting you to cross into this peaceful heartland. Stand at its center, and let the view speak. On both sides, the river glimmers with stillness, and the air carries the kind of quiet that silences thought. It’s not just scenic—it’s healing. Nature here doesn’t shout for attention; it whispers, gently reminding you to breathe, to slow down, and to remember the joy found in life's simplest rhythms.
Pagoda Hills:
A Sacred Sanctuary in the Mountains: The Emerald Bagan
Amid a sea of green peaks, where forested mountains stretch as far as the eye can see, rises a breathtaking sight—pagodas, large and small, standing gracefully atop the hills. At the highest summit, the principal stupa enshrining sacred relics shines with quiet majesty, watching over the smaller stupas scattered below. Together, they form a vision that echoes the ancient splendor of Bagan—yet here, it’s wrapped in vibrant greenery, making it feel even more alive, more serene.
These hilltop shrines form a mystical “mountain of pagodas,” hidden within the folds of forest and stone. The moment you step into this sacred land, a subtle shift occurs—the air changes, the breeze feels blessed, and a deep sense of peace settles in. It’s not just a journey through nature—it’s a spiritual passage. Each step draws you closer to something still and timeless, where faith and tranquility blend seamlessly with the beauty of the earth. This isn’t sightseeing. It’s soul-seeing.

Program: 3 Days 2 Nights |
 |
 |
| Day 1: |
Into the Heart of Untamed Nature |
| 07:00 |
Your adventure begins with a touch of class. A trained driver, an experienced tour guide (CSO – Customer Service Officer), and a spotless private vehicle will pick you up right at your accommodation or chosen meeting point—whether you’re in Phuket, Ranong, Khao Lak, Pilai, Thai Mueang, or Surat Thani. From there, we head straight to Cheow Lan Dam to kick off an unforgettable journey. |
| 09:00 |
Upon arrival at the dam ridge, your private guide will lead you to a scenic viewpoint overlooking the vast expanse of the reservoir. Dozens of surreal limestone islets float across emerald waters in a view that seems more like fantasy than real life. Then, we head to the pier, where your private boat is waiting—no rush, no delays, just seamless service.
We cruise across crystal-clear freshwater tinged with a soft green hue—thanks to the surrounding lush forest reflecting off the surface. The landscape feels straight out of Kong: Skull Island (but with fresher air and friendlier vibes). Our destination: Khlong Saeng Forest, a primeval jungle nestled on the far side of the lake. After docking, we’ll hike into the ancient forest, eyes peeled for rare wildlife and wildflowers. With a bit of luck, you may spot langurs, long-tailed macaques, wild boars, gaurs, or deer. Don’t worry—your expert guide ensures both safety and discovery, the hallmarks of our Upper Class Trip experience.
Soon, the trail leads us to a remote crossing point where we’ll board a bamboo raft powered by a small engine, gliding across the water to reach the hidden limestone cave of Khlong Saeng—a place inaccessible by any other route. |
| 13:00 |
Lunch is served at a floating restaurant with panoramic views of the lake. Enjoy a delicious meal as you soak in the scenery stretching out to the horizon. |
| 14:00 |
The adventure continues. We’ll cruise onward to the famed "Three Brothers Rock" (Hin Sam Glur), also known as the Echo Lake—an iconic spot that defines Cheow Lan Dam and simply can’t be missed.
Next stop: Frog Cape (or sometimes called Toad Nose Cape), a striking viewpoint with dramatic, unique vistas unlike anything you've seen before. Your guide will lead you around the area to take in every angle of this surreal terrain. |
| 16:00 |
Time to head back to the pier. Your private car will be waiting to whisk you away to Khao Na Nai Luang, where you’ll witness the sunset behind the sacred stupa—a truly photogenic and soul-soothing sight. |
| 17:30 |
On the way, we’ll make a stop at Khao Phang Suspension Bridge. Walk across this elegant, sturdy bridge stretching over a tranquil river, framed by the whimsical mountain shaped like a plump heart. It’s a quiet, magical place that invites you to slow down and just breathe. |
| 18:30 |
Arrival at your lodging for the night—Khao Sok Treehouse. Yes, a real treehouse nestled in the heart of the national park. In this charming village surrounded by wilderness, you’ll find laid-back bars frequented by international travelers and artists alike. If you're not quite ready for bed, feel free to join the evening chatter over drinks and soak in the creative energy. A perfect end to day one. |
| Day 2: |
Dive into Andaman Paradise – Surin Islands |
| 06:30 |
Wake up to a refreshing breakfast at the mountain resort, then check out and depart for Jc.Tour Pier in Kuraburi. It's time to trade forest trails for ocean waves and dive into the beauty of the Andaman Sea. |
| 08:30 |
Upon arrival at the pier, you’ll be greeted by your guide and support crew with warm or cold drinks and light snacks for a soft breakfast. You'll be fitted with your snorkeling gear and given a final briefing before boarding your private transfer speedboat. |
| 09:00 |
We depart straight for the Surin Islands—no stops, no distractions. Just 1 hour and 10 minutes across the open sea to a remote marine paradise. |
| 10:20 |
You arrive at Chong Khat Beach, where your private island accommodation awaits. Located within the Surin Islands Marine National Park, your air-conditioned room offers comfort in the heart of nature. Your guide will assist with check-in and baggage, allowing you to slip into something more fitting for island exploration. The beach itself is unique—three stretches of white sand connect seamlessly: the pier beach, the exclusive Canal Beach reserved for overnight guests, and the Sea Turtle Conservation Bay. Each one is a dreamlike slice of untouched shoreline. |
| 12:00 |
Lunch is served at the national park's restaurant. Your guide will bring a full menu so you can choose exactly what you'd like—your tastes, your pace. |
| 13:30 |
Ready for your first snorkeling session? Your private boat and sea guide are set to take you to explore the crystal-clear waters and underwater treasures of the Surin archipelago.
Sai En Bay: Hidden far from regular tourist routes, this bay is pristine. The water is glass-clear, and the coral reefs here are dense and dazzling in diversity.
Mae Yai Bay: Dive into a living carpet of sea anemones, so close to the surface you could almost touch them (but please don’t). These are the colorful homes of countless Nemo fish—vibrant, curious, and full of life.
Chong Khat Bay (snorkeling site, different from the lodging area): Here, you'll witness massive golden brain corals paired with fields of violet sea anemones, where rare spotted black clownfish dance through the currents like underwater fireworks. |
| 16:30 |
Return to the accommodation bay. Time to shower, change, and unwind. Stroll along the shifting shoreline as the tides rise and fall, revealing new textures of the island's natural rhythm. |
| 18:00 |
Dinner is prepared and waiting, a private meal arranged by your guide. As the sun sets, the island becomes a sanctuary of sound—waves lapping, jungle murmurs, wind in the trees. Lay back, breathe deep, and let nature do the rest. Whether you sit under the stars or sway in a hammock, tonight is yours to enjoy until sleep calls you to your island retreat. |
| Day 3: |
Immersed in the Wonders of the Surin Islands |
| 07:00 |
Greet the final morning of your island adventure with a delicious breakfast at the resort. Today’s plan is all about exploring the soul of the Surin Islands—one last deep dive into its natural and cultural beauty. |
| 08:30 |
Your trusted captain, familiar guide, and private boat await to take you on an extraordinary marine journey. Today’s route leads through one of the most intricate reef systems in the archipelago—complex yet stunning in its harmony, like the inner workings of a Patek Philippe 89.
Our first stop: the Moken Village—a seafaring community once known as the "Sea Gypsies." Here, you’ll experience a lifestyle that’s deeply tied to the ocean, shaped by generations of tradition, belief, and respect for the natural world. It’s a humbling contrast to life on the mainland and a rare cultural encounter.
Next, we cruise to Suthep Bay, where a vast coral field stretches across the sea floor like a living underwater prairie. The marine biodiversity here is ranked Level 4 in ecological richness. Your guide will provide floating buoys so you can comfortably observe the reef without tiring—an effortless, immersive experience.
Then, on to Mai Ngam Bay, a bay of layers—each more captivating than the last. First, shallow waters teeming with coral, anemones, and colorful clownfish. Next, a powder-white beach perfect for a barefoot stroll. Beyond the sand lies a mangrove forest, home to young blacktip reef sharks. And deeper still, a preserved ancient forest fiercely protected by park rangers. After relaxing on the beach, your guide will lead a fun, moderate hike through the island’s forest path toward a secluded beach at Krating Bay—home to an eco-conscious military outpost.
At Krating Bay, take one last dip and snorkel among corals before the boat picks you up directly from the beach—no need to hike back the way you came. |
| 12:00 |
Return to your accommodation to shower, change, and check out. Everything is taken care of—just relax and enjoy the moment. |
| 12:30 |
Enjoy a leisurely lunch, then your guide will lead you to the Surin Islands Museum for a final stroll through local knowledge, stories, and sights you may have missed. This is your chance to snap any last photos and soak in the experience one last time. |
| 14:30 |
Your CSO from JC Tour will handle all your luggage and escort you onto the transfer speedboat back to the mainland. |
| 16:00 |
At the pier, your private vehicle awaits. Enjoy a cool drink—tea, coffee, or something iced—before setting off on your return journey to your chosen drop-off location: Ranong, Phuket, Phang Nga, Khao Lak, Pilai, or Thai Mueang.
As the day winds down and your adventure concludes, your JC Tour team will bid you farewell, with hopes that the memories made across forest, sea, and spirit will stay with you long after the journey ends. |

Your Island Hideaway: A/C Comfort with a Two-Beach View
In this package, you'll stay in a well-equipped, air-conditioned room operated by the national park—perched on a narrow strip of the island where two pristine beaches flank you on either side. You can literally stroll from front to back of your accommodation across white sand in seconds. It’s simple, serene, and stunningly located.
Just steps from your door lies the park’s "Untouched Area"—a protected zone of raw, unspoiled beauty. Twin beaches stretch in parallel, divided by a sea channel that splits the island in two. The atmosphere is wide open, breezy, and peaceful all day long. You’ll have time to wander, explore, and fully embrace island life—not just as a visitor, but as a curious explorer. Over two days and one night, this place will stir something in you: excitement, wonder, and a growing sense that nature still has countless secrets waiting to be uncovered.
