It offers simple amenities, including a floor mattress, fan, and mosquito net, and features a private bathroom for your comfort. This is the perfect way to start your stay in a peaceful, eco-friendly environment.During the high season (November to April), due to limited capacity on the lake, solo travelers may need to share a raft house with others of the same gender (maximum 2–4 people), as per the raft house policy. Couples, however, will have their own private room and won’t need to share. We understand this arrangement may not suit everyone, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to explore alternative options.Please note that this is a join-in tour with up to 20 people, offering a great opportunity to meet fellow travelers and share the experience!You’ll be accompanied by a local long-tail boat driver and guide who has limited English skills. While they can help to spot some wildlife, please note that they might not be able to provide detailed information about the area.Please note that the itinerary allows for only one trail to be explored, and the destination is determined by the guide, depending on the season and weather conditions. Reaching the chosen spot will require a moderate-intensity hike, which could take 30 minutes to 1 hour each way, depending on the trail. The path may sometimes be wet, so we appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we prioritize safety and aim to provide the best possible experience for everyone.***The itinerary may change or be canceled depending on local conditions and weather.Since Cheow Lan Lake is in a remote jungle area, please be prepared for some flexibility and enjoy the adventure as it unfolds!The rafthouse on the second night offers basic accommodations with simple pillows, blankets, and floor mattresses.

Willem de Greef, 23 Dec 2024

Hi William, Thanks for your interest in the 3D2N Farm to Floating Paradise | Cooking Class & Cheow Lan Lake Adventures! During the high season (November to April), due to limited capacity on the lake, solo travelers may be assigned to share a rafthouse with guests of the same gender on the second night. If you're looking for a private room throughout the entire trip, you might want to consider our other tour, such as the 3D2N Farm Fresh Cooking & Serene Floating Bungalow Stay on Cheow Lan Lake (https://www.seeksophie.com/experiences/khao-sok-3d2n-farm-fresh-cooking-serene-floating-bungalow-stay-on-cheow-lan-lake-opo503dm5w). Hope this clarifies! :)
