Places worth visiting

A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.

Reservoir

Cheow Lan Lake

4.7 / 5· Hidengo

Cheow Lan is a dam lake surrounded by wooded limestone reliefs. It is not a natural lake: navigation, landings and floating accommodation follow clean permits and conditions.

Tropical rainforest

Khao Sok rainforest

4.6 / 5· Hidengo

Khao Sok forests are home to regulated wetlands and trails. Naturalistic observations are made with the required permissions, without promise of rare flowering or animal encounter.

Dam

Ratchaprapha Dam

4.1 / 5· Hidengo

Ratchaprapha Dam holds back the waters of Cheow Lan Lake. Observe it from open public areas; technical installations are not freely accessible.

River

Khlong Sok River

4.3 / 5· Hidengo

The Khlong Sok flows through the forested valley near the park entrance. Access to riverbanks and boat outings depend on water levels, floods and permissions.
