Comfy floating bungalows with AC + your own private boat and English guide
This is one of the more premium raft houses on Cheow Lan Lake. Instead of sleeping on a simple rafthouse or trekking ages to a shared bathroom, you’ll stay in a floating bungalow with air-conditioning (a rare find here!) and your own en-suite bathroom.You’ll have a private longtail boat for all your lake trips, guided by someone who knows Khao Sok inside out. They’ll share little stories about the lake, the wildlife, and the people who live around it, the kind of details you’d never hear on a packed join-in tour. With your own boat, you get to explore the lake at your own pace, away from the crowds, and actually feel connected to Khao Sok National Park instead of just passing through.It’s the most comfortable and peaceful way to experience Cheow Lan — perfect if you want the magic of the lake without giving up comfort.What to ExpectStay in a floating raft house with modern amenities: air conditioning, an en-suite bathroom for a restful night.Private longtail boat for exploring the lake—no waiting for big groups or rushing through activities.Personal English-speaking guide to tailor the trip to your interests.Sunrise and sunset boat safaris to spot wildlife like monkeys, birds, and maybe even elephants.Jungle trekking to hidden waterfalls and breathtaking viewpoints.Kayaking and swimming in the peaceful lake surroundings.Delicious meals included, enjoyed with stunning views of the lake.Good to KnowThe national park fee (approx. 300 - 500 THB per adult / 150 - 250 THB per child) is not included and must be paid in cash.The rafthouse is in a remote and peaceful location with no phone signal—perfect for disconnecting.The rainy season around Khao Sok typically runs from May to October, with the heaviest rainfall usually in August and September.
