Main Attractions
Cheow Lan Lake is the star, with its stunning islands and clear waters ideal for boat exploration. Don't miss the park's headquarters area for easy trails, or the Rafflesia flower sightings if you're lucky. The surrounding jungle offers epic viewpoints and wildlife spotting opportunities.

Fly into Surat Thani or Phuket, then travel by bus or car to the park entrance.
