Stunning scenery, beautiful mountains, transparent blue water in the lake. One of the best places to touch the Thailand nature. I was totally impressed! 🥰 Here you can take a boat ride (1700 baht for 2 people or 2000 for 4 people +320 baht/person for entrance and fees). Also you can swim in the lake (only in the specific place) and even spend a night, meet the sunset and sunrise on the lake in small houses on the water that looks like birdhouses

Great views! We booked a tour for about $80 each and had a private boat. Beautiful views, beautiful water. Make sure to take a bow from the dam before going into the water. Be aware that officially no one is allowed to swim in the lake unless you have as life jacket, which is quite ridiculous. If you're your guide is nice, they will taken you to a secluded spot and let you swim.

Loved our one day trip from Khao Sok village to the lake. The tour was booked at a special price of 1050 Baht + 300 Baht National Park entry fee at the Khao Sok Hostel. Lunch, afternoon snacks and water are included in the tour. We were picked up by minivan and drove a bit more than an hour to the lake, where we embarked on a small boat. You can't be sure whether your boat will have a roof or not, so bring sunscreen and a hat / something to cover yourself. We navigated the lake for about 1.5 hours, the landscape is spectacular. It's a man-made lake that was inaugurated 1987, flooding the mountain valley up to 150 m deep. People, villages and animals had to be resettled for this project to generate electricity. After 1.5 hours, we reached the ranger station which is built floating in the water. There is a toilet perched upon the hill. We had a delicious Thai local food lunch in the ranger station and some free time to go swimming or kayaking before we drove another 5 min deeper into the jungle. The guide spotted a monkey, a tarantula and a kind of flying dragon while we went on a hike to Taloo cave. Wear sturdy and old shoes, you'll be crossing hip-deep water and ankle-deep mud. Your shoes will be very dirty and smelly afterwards. The hike is quite dangerous at some points, crossing sharp rocks, small fallen trees, slippery and steep mud sections, plus you should bring mosquito spray. However, it was a total adventure and a great experience. We saw incredible amounts of beautiful butterflys, dragonflys and yes, ants. At the caves, you can either wait about 30 min or join the group going into the cave. Water is deep inside there, so you will be swimming with a headlamp on. Most people went in in swimwear. You can leave all you won't need outside the cave. Afterwards, you're hiking back a slightly different way. All in all it was a wonderful experience a bit off the beaten track.

This place is absolutely stunning. I saw many large fish, bats in a cave, and one large spider, but not a huge variety of animals like one reviewer did. However, the landscapes and lack of noisy tourists more than made up for that (as did the pleasantness of the animals I did encounter.) You will spend most of your time traveling by motorboat, not walking. However, the geographic spectacles you will see are simply gorgeous. Unfortunately for me, I got so caught up in all the natural beauty that I refrained from putting my prescription glasses away when I borrowed a canoe and used it as a surface from which to dive. The glasses sank, never to be seen again, and much too deep for me to possibly recover without special equipment. Live and learn.

Insane landscapes, falling mountains in the lake. Emeraude colors water like beautiful ! Avatar’s mountains is a must to see !

One day or two, does not matter really. Just beatiful lake and jungle. Mind you, this is a toeristic place.

Unbelievable place. So beautiful!

Beautiful lake
