Secret temple, crystal-clear spring kayak and Cheow Lan Lake cruise in one day
Khao Sok is more than jungle treks and lake cruises. This private day trip takes you to local favorites that many visitors skip, without missing the classic Cheow Lan Lake cruise.The standout is Khao Na Nai Luang, a little-known forest monastery an hour from Khao Sok, where six pagodas sit on jagged limestone peaks and often feel almost empty outside Thai holidays. Villagers have been building it by hand since 1998, and the site now protects around 5 hectares of forest. Walk through the huge 9-spired stone gate and climb as far as you like, past a laterite pagoda perched nearly 300m above the valley and a white pagoda ringed with 1,000 Buddha images.After a home-style local lunch, head to Ban Nam Rad, a stop in Khiri Rat Nikhom often skipped by visitors heading straight for Cheow Lan Lake. A wooden boardwalk leads through shady forest to a spring-fed pool so clear and blue-green you can see every ripple of sand below. Locals call it the "Oasis of Surat Thani". You can paddle a kayak in near silence, and strict local rules (no food, plastic or soap) keep the water pristine.You can end your day with optional private long-tail boat tour on Cheow Lan Lake, weaving between limestone cliffs that rise straight out of the emerald water. You'll stop at the "Guilin of Thailand" viewpoint and the famous Sam Kloe ("Three Friends") rocks, then watch the sunset over the lake before heading back to the pier. Because the trip is private, you can linger at any stop you like instead of being rushed along.What to ExpectPrivate hotel pick-up and drop-off in Khao SokAbout 1 to 2 hours exploring Khao Na Nai Luang and its floating pagodasEnglish-speaking local guide with deep knowledge of the areaFlexible pace at the temple.

Lerne deinen Gastgeber kennen

Chai begleitet seit etwa 15 Jahren Reisende durch den Regenwald von Khao Sok. Er ist ganz in der Nähe in Surat Thani aufgewachsen, daher gehören die Wege des Parks, der See und die Tierwelt zu dem, was er am besten kennt. Nach vielen Jahren als Guide für andere Unternehmen hat er sich selbstständig gemacht, um Touren auf eine durchdachtere Weise gestalten zu können — langsamer, flexibler und mit dem Fokus, den Wald wirklich zu verstehen. Die meisten Touren führt er selbst, darunter auch eine Übernachtungswanderung auf einem abgelegeneren Pfad, den nur wenige Guides nutzen. Außerdem bildet er junge Guides aus der lokalen Gemeinschaft aus und gibt dabei denselben achtsamen, unaufgeregten Stil weiter.
