Stay: Raft Bungalows
Waking early to the loud morning chorus of the Thai rainforest is an amazing experience. Whooping gibbons, honking hornbills and buzzing insects compete to fill the air waves with their loud songs to the new day. The floating bungalows on Lake Chiew Lan are located in Khao Sok National Park in Surat Thani province. A night or two can be arranged through your lodging in Khlong Sok near the park entrance. In our case, we stayed at Khao Sok Rainforest Resort and prearranged a night on the water as part of our package. In addition to the morning music, you'll be joined for breakfast by nosy macaques.

Congrats and thanks for sharing! Wish I had known about this when I was there! Oh well, add it to the list for next time. :)
Hi there - Headed to Thailand later this year. Would love to know where I can find more info on how much this place costs, park entrance, etc. Lovely photo!
Beautiful photo. Congrats! I definitely want to add this to my list of places to travel.
FYI if you can't spare the time or money to stay here. You can also rent a boat for the day and go out to swim and have lunch. the lunch cost us about 500 bath (15 Canadian Dollars) and the boat rental was about 2500 bath (75 CDN Dollars) it's worth it for sure. You can also combine this with a trip to Khao Sok National Park which is about 90 minutes drive away from the lake.
