Description

E085 – 4 Days 3 Nights Cheow Lan Lake – Phang Nga Bay – Samet Nangshe – Racha & Coral Island by Catamaran – Phuket

---

Overview

This 4-day journey takes you through three of Southern Thailand’s most spectacular provinces — Surat Thani, Phang Nga, and Phuket.
Experience the emerald waters of Cheow Lan Lake, the majestic limestone cliffs of Phang Nga Bay, the breathtaking panorama of Samet Nangshe Viewpoint, and the crystal-clear sea of Racha and Coral Islands aboard a luxury catamaran.

Cheow Lan Lake (Ratchaprapha Dam)

Located within Khao Sok National Park, covering over 461,712 rai, Cheow Lan Lake is famous for its dramatic limestone karst formations rising elegantly above emerald waters — earning its nickname, “The Guilin of Thailand.”
Enjoy a serene stay in a floating raft house, kayak among towering cliffs, and wake up to morning mist drifting across the lake — an unforgettable scene that captivates visitors all year round.

Phang Nga Bay

Cruise by private long-tail boat through Thailand’s largest mangrove forest and explore towering limestone mountains scattered throughout the bay.

James Bond Island (Koh Tapu), made famous by the movie The Man with the Golden Gun, is a highlight of the trip. Continue your adventure with canoeing through sea caves, paddled safely by professional guides.

Visit Panyee Island, a unique floating village known for its famous floating football field, local culture, and fresh seafood lunch.

Samet Nangshe Viewpoint

One of Thailand’s most stunning sunrise viewpoints, offering a sweeping panorama of countless limestone karsts and lush mangrove forests — as if painted by nature herself.

Phuket – The Pearl of the Andaman

Phuket is a vibrant blend of natural beauty, culture, and modern comfort. From the lively Patong Beach to the romantic sunset at Promthep Cape, and from the colorful Old Phuket Town to the sacred Big Buddha, the island offers endless charm for every traveler.
