Traveler Reviews
We had an amazing experience on the 2-day Cheow Lan Lake tour with Pradet as our guide. He was absolutely spectacular from start to finish. The food was delicious, and he was always very informative, kind, and welcoming. He took us to places we truly loved, and thanks to him we were able to see monkeys, elephant, lemurs, otters and eagles, which made the trip even more special. We also enjoyed kayaking and swimming straight from the bungalows, which was incredible. Throughout the whole tour, Pradet always had a smile on his face and made us feel comfortable and happy at all times. Highly recom
We hebben een geweldige tijd gehad in Khao Sok, super gezellig met de groep, de gids was super! En de accommodatie was ver boven verwachting, zeker een aanrader! Zelf als ik de keus opnieuw had mogen doen had ik de jungle trek er ook nog bij gedaan want die blijkt fantastisch te zijn! Die zit hier helaas niet bij! Maar als dat jou ding niet is, is dit de tour voor jou…
Great opportunity to visit Khao Sok National Park with ease of mind. We had a great (private) tour after pick up from our hotel, visiting a beautiful spring, temple, and suspension bridge for lunch as well as learning more about local farming. Our experience on Cheow Lan Lake was wonderful, despite rain in the middle of the hot season. The timetable/schedule is a little tight and we would have liked more time for recreation and swimming and a little less time doing the boat safari but overall it was a great experience. We found the area to be remarkably beautiful and peaceful. It was one of my
Very good 2 day trip, driver, guide and long tail boat driver all wonderful. Gibbons, lemurs and hornbills an added bonus!
The park is amazing. We saw monkeys and elephants, and the views are so beautiful. Still the cave watching wasn’t really worth it and maybe a jungle walk ( which the park offers and I’ve experienced there before ) would have been better. We were really unlucky with our guide and the hole group were astonished by his not guide like actions.
Escurione davvero molto suggestiva, l esperienza sul lago è qualcosa di meravigliosa! ci vuole però un pó di spirito d' adattamento in quanto i bagni sono in comune, e le camere sono basic! il nostro accompagnatore è stato super! molto carine anche le fermate che ci sono prima di arrivare al Lago!
The natural beauty was worth it, however guide and tour itself was not great.
Es war ein grossartiges und einmaliges Erlebnis.
Pickup was smooth, our guide Pradet was very talkative and a great source of information for what we saw along the way to Khao Sok. He even gave us some local breakfast snacks along the way which was fun. For Khao Sok we arrived as expected and got a boat over to the floating lodgings which were basic but a great novelty for one night. We did a number of longtail boat trips around the lake and saw Gibbons, Macaques and Hornbills. We were well informed of the timings and when to meet for the next activity. Food was great at the lodges for included meals. We were able to arrange a transfer throu
the lake of cheow Lan is amazing, you are full immerged in the nature and in the immensity of this lake. the idea of the floating house is nice but is definitely not eco. The share bathroom were dirty, and mostly of them didn't even work, plus all the plug were going into the lake with no filter. the rooms were dirty, the room were still dirty with someone else period blood, they have so much recycling of people that I don't think they care much about cleaning, staff were really unfriendly, one bottle of 33ml of water was given to us. the guide didn't speak much English, and everything that we
Især vores søde, venlige og kompetente guide Pradet var med til at gøre det til en virkelig god og velorganiseret tur. Virkelig nogle fine hytter vi boede i.
Die Tour war wirklich super. Die Unterkunft war alles andere als einfach ausgestattet. Wir hatten zu dritt eine Hütte mit einem großen Bett und einer Komodo. Außerdem hatte man eine kleine „Terrasse“ von welcher aus man direkt in den See springen konnte. Das Essen hat sehr gut geschmeckt und es war immer mehr als ausreichend. Auch auf Vegetarier wurde Rücksicht genommen. Die Abend- und Morgensafaris waren toll und die Besichtigung der Höhle war ebenfalls beeindruckend. Für uns war es eins unserer Highlights des gesamten Urlaubs. Besonderes Lob an unseren Guide Praded.
