Description
E087 – 4 Days 3 Nights Cheow Lan Lake – Phang Nga Bay – Surin Islands Snorkeling – Phuket Stay
Tour Overview
This 4-day, 3-night all-inclusive private package takes you through four of Southern Thailand’s most breathtaking provinces — Surat Thani, Phuket, Krabi, and Phang Nga. From the jade-green waters of Cheow Lan Lake to the dramatic limestone cliffs of Phang Nga Bay, and the vibrant underwater world of the Surin Islands, this journey promises unforgettable natural beauty and cultural richness.
Cheow Lan Lake (Ratchaprapha Dam), located within Khao Sok National Park, spans an impressive 461,712 rai. Its towering limestone mountains, emerald water, floating raft houses, serene kayaking spots, and enchanting morning mist have earned it the name “The Guilin of Thailand.” The lake is stunning year-round, with each season offering a unique charm.
Phang Nga Bay, world-renowned for its limestone karsts and lush mangrove forests, is home to countless islands and iconic landmarks. Among them is James Bond Island (Khao Tapu), featured in the classic film 007: The Man with the Golden Gun.
During this trip, you’ll also visit the floating Muslim village of Koh Panyee, enjoy a peaceful canoe ride through sea caves with professional paddlers, and witness the lifestyle of a community living on the sea for generations.
The Surin Islands, one of Thailand’s most pristine marine paradises, boast crystal-clear waters, spectacular coral reefs, abundant marine life, and the traditional sea-gypsy village of the Moken people. Snorkeling at Ao Mae Yai, Ao Tao, and Ao Nemo offers encounters with clownfish, sea turtles, and vibrant coral gardens.
Finally, you’ll relax in Phuket, the Pearl of the Andaman, where cultural landmarks, scenic viewpoints, charming old-town streets, and stunning beaches create a perfect end to your journey.
