Spend 2 nights in a family-run raft house, close to elephant sighting spots
This 3D2N raft house experience is perfect if you’re looking for a quiet, off-the-beaten-path escape. Tucked in a quieter part of the lake (away from other rafthouses and visitor traffic) - it’s a great spot to soak up nature, and maybe even spot some wildlife. Rumour has it there’s a family of elephants nearby so you have a higher chance of spotting there here!Unlike the basic raft houses in the area, which don’t offer any ensuite options and just provide floor mattresses, this one has deluxe and family rooms with ensuite bathrooms, as well as proper beds for added comfort. Each floating cabin is beautifully crafted from locally-sourced bamboo with traditional thatched roofs. It’s family-run, so you can expect a warm, personal touch throughout your stay.This is a great option if you want more time to spot wildlife—staying 3D2N gives you a better chance of seeing the elusive elephants, especially since the raft house is located close to where they’re often spotted. It’s perfect for those looking for a mid-budget raft house that offers more comfort, like ensuite bathrooms, while still being close to nature. Plus, it’s conveniently located near Coral Cave and other hidden gems of the lake, so you can explore without sacrificing the tranquillity of your stay.What to Expect2 nights stay in a mid-budget, family-run rafthouse on Cheow Lan lakeTwo Boat Safaris: Experience the enchanting beauty of the Lake, offering a chance to watch wildlife such as elephants, gibbons, bear, Wild boar in their natural habitat.Adventure Activities: Embark on an exciting adventure with guided jungle hikes, thrilling bamboo rafting, and exploring the mysterious Coral Cave, all set in the heart of Khao Sok National Park.Kayak and Swimming: Enjoy the crystal-clear waters of Cheow Lan Lake with kayaking and swimming, offering a refreshing and fun way to explore the stunning surroundings.You will be accompanied by a local long-tail boat driver who speaks very limited English.
