Great trip. The lake is beautiful. Our guide Mong really made the trip one to remember. Must also thank our driver Deng; always safe and not as “enthusiastic “ as some Thai drivers are😁.

At this point in our trip we had been all over Thailand, and our whole group agreed it was one of our favorite days. We went in low season and were lucky enough to only have 5 people total. Our guide was Perry, she was amazing, took great care of us, and even brought us snacks to try. Absolutely the sweetest. Views on the tour were stunning and so worth it. Lunch was provided and (as a picky eater) probably the best food to date on the trip. So so yummy. Absolutely would take this tour again.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We are truly delighted to hear that your day with us was one of the highlights of your trip in Thailand, especially after having explored so many places.
We are especially happy to hear your kind words about Perry. She will be thrilled to know that her care, attentiveness, and thoughtful touch of bringing snacks helped make your experience so memorable.
Thank you again for your kind recommendation. We would be honored to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience in the future.

Excellent day with our guide Jojo. He’s very friendly, and knowledgeable. We got to visit the emerald pool, the cave, took pictures in Cheow Lan Lake, and ended it with a delicious meal. Thank you Jojo!

An amazing day with different activities along the way. We swam in crystal clear waters where the fishes were beautiful, there were also otters playing on the banks so close to you. Word of advice the rocks getting in and out of the water are really slippery so be careful, beach shoes would be recommended for gripping.
The long boat ride was amazing the scenery is just stunning. Food on the island was great and all the people so friendly.
When you visit the caves beware again of the slippery floor. This is our only criticism of the trip that there isn’t a better indication of things to bring with you for activities or recommendations for footwear and flip flops were certainly not ideal for everything!
That said we really enjoyed ourselves thank you Mone and Keng for being our guide and driver for the day!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the variety of activities, the crystal clear waters, and the beautiful scenery throughout the long boat ride.

Had a great day. Khao Sok National park nature reserve was lovely. We took a kayak along the Sok river which was very peaceful.visited the Prakkai Petch Cave or Diamond cave. Not ideal if you dont like inclosed spaces and the climb up was difficult. Swam in the creek, very slippery, so take care. Lunch at Watershed was good. Overall a good trip.

Outstanding trip for the money considering the amount of drive time to get there. This is a really nice full day trip. The variety of the day is a great mix. Boat ride, swimming, bat cave tour, late lunch on the water are all amazing. The scenery is breathtaking.
Gay was an amazing tour guide. Fun and energetic. You can tell she loves her job.

Only let down for the whole day was the lunch.
1 bowl of curry for 5 people to share.
I don't eat seafood so wasn't much for me.
And no soft drink supplied with lunch just a glass of water.

Small group tour was nice with only 8 people on our tour. Made for nice day with the boat not being crowded. Our guide was lovely and very invested in the day and making sure everyone was well taken care of. Includes lunch and national park fees which was nice.

Cheow Larn Lake was stunning, it was so much bigger than I expected. Views are exceptional, from the Dam and on the Lake. Excellent English speaking guides (Woot and Oil) who shared so much information throughout the day. Lunch was yummy (too much food as usual) and the Emerald Pool was pure luxury being in the middle of the jungle and with no one else there - complete serenity. Wonderful tour - highly recommend.
Response from Host, Mar 2026

We LOVED turning around Cheow Larn Lake! My two daughters, aged 22 and 19, and I marveled at the beautiful limestones emerging from the turquoise water.

The scenery was absolutely breathtaking! Our guide, Garfield, looked after us very well. Plenty of cold drinks, good commentary and variety of activities. The boat ride was atmospheric and it was great to get a cool breeze...it was such a hot day. The cave was average and not easy to access. A lot could be done to it to make it a really interesting attraction. The lunch was good but the opportunity to swim a little disappointing.
Overall, I highly recommend this tour. You have to see the lake and its limestone formations to believe it!
darren_b, May 2024
Beautiful scenery, unbelievable settings, great value trip with such a helpful, caring guide - Ching. She was really knowledgeable and couldn't do enough to make sure all of the people on the trip had a great time.
Kerstin_F, Apr 2024
Our tour guide Ching was lovely and very knowledgeable. It is a long drive but we thoroughly enjoyed the day. Canoeing at Emeralf Pool was a nice thing to do as well.
carolyn_b, Jan 2024
A great day with our fab tour guides Oad and Wie ?
An early start but the journey gave us time to see the local area and learn lots ..
Lovely swim stop and kayaking through the mangroves..Then a fantastic long boat ride across the huge lake and lunch on a floating hotel.
Visited caves and a few photo stops enroute.
Definately worth breaking out from your resort for the day to see this lovely country and learned so much.
ARTURAS_P, Jan 2024
The lake is really great. Other stops are interesting, but not exceptional. The only drawback is that the car journey is really long.
Mette_H, Jan 2024
Chris larn Lake was wonderfull but the guide couldn’t find the first stop at the trip (He had never been there) and was acting very unprofessional.
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're glad you found Chris Larn Lake wonderful, but we apologize for the issues with the guide. It's crucial that our guides are well-prepared and professional, and it seems we fell short in this instance.

Thank you for helping us improve.

Super confused how the reviews are so good. The staff is nice enough, but the trip involves lots and lots of traveling. The first stop is an additional hour of driving round trip on top of the many others, and all it is - just a fresh water pool. Man made even! not deep, just kinda pretty. I cannot believe the amount of kilometers we traveled, seemed like that’s all we did. Yes there was a cave stop, and unless you’ve never seen a cave before, it is sooooo crowded and underwhelming. Lunch was meh. To sum up, 10 hours of driving from meh to meh. What a waste of a vacation day. Big regret1
Donata_V, Aug 2023
Excellent trip all around. I booked a group tour but ended up being a private tour with a hotel pick up from JW Marriott Khoa Lak. The guide was amazing and very patient, he waited for us and allowed us to be places as long as we wanted.
The lake is gorgeous!! Highly recommend. The mountains are similar to the limestone islands in the bay but you are much closer to them and completely surrounded.
Lots of water and coke available on the trip!
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Your delightful feedback warms our hearts! We're thrilled to learn that your experience exceeded expectations and felt akin to a private tour. Our team, especially the guides, are trained to cater to every guest's needs, ensuring that each moment spent with us becomes a cherished memory.

Awesome excursion viewing wild life, scenery, and meeting new friends from Poland, Germany and the US doing amazing things I never thought I would do. I expanded my bucket list then checked off a few items!
Spelunking in a cave - CHECK!
swimming in a lake in a tropical rain forest and — CHECK!
taking a ride in a Thai long-boat — CHECK!
Standing on Thailand’s largest damn and principle source for hydro-electric power—CHECK
Exhilarating!!

Wir haben einen tollen Tag mit unserem Guide verbracht. Wir wurden pünktlich vom Hotel abgeholt. Die Fahrt zum und durch den Nationalpark dauert von Khao Lak aus gute 2 Stunden.
Unser erster Stop führte uns mitten in den Dschungel. Dort ging es nach einem kleinen Fußmarsch zu einem Fluss mit Badesee. Super klares Wasser. Echt toll. Außerdem sollte man auf jeden Fall eine kleine Kajak Tour auf dem Fluss unternehmen. Eine kleine Bootstour mitten durch den Dschungel!!
Danach ging’s Weiter zum und mit dem Longtail Boot über den Stausee mit Badestops, Höhlenbesuch und Mittagessen.
Insgesamt absolut empfehlenswert!
Barry_B, Apr 2024
We hebben veel gezien en we hadden een fantastische gids, Ching. Ze vertelde veel, liet ons veel zien en wist veel van de cultuur en omgeving!
Vooral de Emerald Pool met de kleine peddelbootjes waren super
