Comfy floating bungalows with AC + your own private boat and English guide
This isn’t your typical Cheow Lan Lake experience — it’s honestly our top recommendation for the best time out on the lake.You’ll stay in a modern floating bungalow with air-conditioning (a rare find here!) and your own en-suite bathroom, no thin mattresses on the floor or trekking to a shared loo like with many other rafthouses.What makes this trip stand out is having your own private longtail boat and expert English-speaking guide the whole way. With three dedicated boat safaris (more than most trips!), you’ll have the best chances of spotting wildlife, and even elephants if you’re lucky! Along the way, your guide will share stories, context, and small details you’d never catch on your own, so you connect much more deeply with the lake and its wildlife. And because it’s just you and your guide, you skip the chaos of crowded join-in tours and explore entirely at your own pace.It’s the most comfortable and meaningful way to experience Cheow Lan Lake.What to ExpectComfiest modern rafthouse: Enjoy a spacious floating villa with big, comfy beds, private bathroom, and all the comforts you want (even an AC and TV!) while still being surrounded by nature.Private trip, flexible schedule: With your own private longtail boat and expert guide, you decide what to do and when to do them — explore, swim, paddle, hike, or just chill at your own pace!Expert Private Guide: Most tours only come with just a boat driver who isn't able to provide much context. Here you have an English-speaking guide who’s also an amazing storyteller and wildlife spotter, sharing details you’d never notice on your own so you connect much more deeply with Khao Sok.Wildlife safaris: Head out on boat trips to explore the ancient Khao Sok rainforest. Look out for hornbills, langurs, and if you’re lucky, even elephants!Water fun: Kayak, swim, or simply float and take in the views from the doorstep of your stayJungle hikes: Depending on the day and weather, trek to a hidden viewpoint, a waterfall, or along a quiet forest trail.Meals with a view: Freshly cooked local dishes served with amazing lake views.Good to KnowThe guide speaks English and is fully licensed — they’ll help with any special requests.You’ll have your own raft house and guide, but other travelers may be nearby. Expect a friendly, social atmosphere especially during high season (November - April) .The rainy season around Khao Sok typically runs from May to October, with the heaviest rainfall usually in August and September. During this time, rivers and lakes can rise, and some outdoor activities—like hikes or cave visits—may be affected. On the bright side, there are fewer people on the lake, giving you a more peaceful and private experience.Weather and lake conditions may shake up plans, but your guide will make sure you still have a blast.Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed, but your guide knows the best times and places to spot them.National Park entrance fee of approx. 300–500 THB per adult (cash only), not included.Waterproof backpack recommended—boats splash, rain may fall, and you’ll want your stuff dry!The rafthouse is cash-only, so bring some extra baht for treats.Unplug & Recharge: No Wi-Fi or strong 4G here—just peace, quiet, and jungle vibes.The experience begins and ends at the lake pier — land transport is not included.Infants (0–3 years) join free of charge. From age 3 onwards, children are counted as adults.Minimum 2 people are required to start a trip. Solo travelers are welcome but will be charged as 2 people.The trip accommodates a maximum of 6 people per group.Amenities/facilitiesPrivate floating bungalow with AC (AC available night time only).Private bathroom in every room with cold shower.All meals included (6 per person).Drinking water provided.Kayaks available for use.Licensed English-speaking guide.Electricity from 5:30 PM to 9:00 AM.No phone signal or Wi-Fi.Cancellation and Rescheduling PolicyYou can cancel 15 days before their activity start time for a full refund.
