Phuket: Khao Sok National Park and Cheow Lan Lake Day Trip

Join a full-day tour from Phuket to Phang Nga and Surat Thani Provinces. Visit Wat Suwan Khu Ha Cave, Ratchaprapha Dam, and Petch Cave. Enjoy a Thai lunch on a houseboat, and go rafting on the Khao Sok River. Start your day with a pickup from your hotel in Phuket. Travel to Phang Nga and Surat Thani Provinces in a comfortable van. Admire the beautiful mountain scenery and green trees throughout the journey. Start visiting Wat Suwan Khu Ha Cave, an important ancient temple in Phang Nga province. It is a unique temple with a beautiful Buddha image that symbolizes the Buddhist beliefs of the villagers. The location of the temple is a mountain. There are many large and small caves, including big caves, Choeng caves, dark caves, glass caves, and the respected upper caves, also known as monkey caves. Head to Ratchaprapha Dam in Surat Thani for a long-tail cruise around Cheow Lan Lake. Enjoy the peaceful environment and beautiful nature. Dazzle with the famous "Three Brothers", a group of limestone with 3 almost identical shapes and observe the wild monkeys perched on the trees. Next, head to Petch Cave (Phra Kiat Phet Cave). It takes about 30 minutes to explore this mysterious cave, which is full of corals, stalactites, and stalagmites. As you walk through the cave, you will see bats, spiders, and snakes. Arrive at the houseboat, enjoy a delicious Thai lunch with a 270-degree lake view. Spend time just relaxing, kayaking, or swimming to cool off. Sightsee by the lake before returning to the pier. Arrive at the pier, get on the coach, and head south. Stop for a moment to take a panoramic view of the lush rainforest at Khao Sok Viewpoint. Continue to the elephant rescue camp. Feed bananas to these amazing animals and soak in cold water. Then visit the monkey temple. Have a Thai lunch at a local restaurant by the river before rafting bamboo along the Khao Sok River. Relax while your guide gently steers a bamboo raft along the river while you admire the breathtaking limestone mountains and the quiet sound of the forest. Stop by the riverbank for hiking and relaxing in front of the limestone cave after enjoying a coffee break. This coffee is brewed with bamboo and served in bamboo glasses that you can take home. At the end of the tour, return to your hotel in Phuket.
