Fra Khao Lak: Cheow Lan Lake & Nam Rad Emerald Pool

Very professional and fast to respond. Ery flexible and tailor made some of tours to make it private. The vans were air conditioned and spacious. All the tour guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. All the drivers were good too. Reasonably priced too. Also made sure vegetarian food was catered for on all tours where lunch was included. Free cold water and Coca Cola provided as part of the tour’s. I would highly recommend this company and the owner, Toto is a lovely person and very helpful. We did 2 other tours with this company and all went really well.

Enjoyable day out with rainforest, lakes and mountains with a friendly guide

Firstly thanks to Toto for allowing us to cancel and reschedule our tour last minute as my daughter had became ill overnight. First stop, Nam Rad Emerald lake which has crystal clear water filtered from the surrounding limestone hills. We arrived early for a swim before it started to get busy. Fish will nibble your hands and feet if you keep still long enough. We saw some otters, monkeys, fish and many beautiful butterflies in the area. Arriving at Cheow Lan Lake we had the opportunity to take photos at the dam wall lookout before heading down to the boat pier. The long boat was arranged exclusively for our small group of 9, allowing plenty of room to experience the limestone formations and allow photo opportunities including the 3 sisters. The boat then motored to Pra Kai Petch cave system - one of many in the area. It was a short walk through a unique grassy plain. Torches were provided and we were guided through whilst being shown the formation highlights as well as the local bats and a huge friendly huntsman spider. Next stop was a small lakeside jungle camp on a hillside. The hosts provided a delicious lunch. The fried chicken was a hit with the kids, whilst I enjoyed the coconut curry and a cold beer. For the rest of the afternoon we enjoyed paddle boarding and swimming in the area. We could hear gibbons in the forest but couldn’t quite sight them. After relaxing at the camp we were transferred back to the pier on our private long boat, stretched out on the bow soaking the rays and enjoying the scenery. Transfers to and from the hotel and all the sights was seamless in a comfortable mini van that we managed to have to ourselves for our family of 5. Thanks Mong and Peter for guiding and driving us around your spectacular natural wonders.

To guide Mung and driver were great. Trip was enjoyable and at a relaxed pace in a small group. Sites were well selected and the boat ride was great. Lunch was also very tasty. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend this trip. We did this trip with just 4 other people. Gay our guide was absolutely fantastic, made us all feel very welcome and was so helpful and very funny. She was an absolute joy to have as our guide. The lunch was delicious and the scenery breathtaking. A must do trip.

The whole experience was unreal! Peter picked us up right on time and we were lucky to have beautiful clear weather along with another couple for our day. We drove the 1.5 hours to Khao SoK, stopped at the emerald pools which was beautiful!!!! We then drove to khao sok where we had a photo at the lookout and then went on the boat through the park. We saw two elephants on the drive (not on the boat), monkey, snake and otter! Gay was incredible we truly cannot thank her enough, she knew so much, was so welcoming and made the day ! Thankyou Peter and gay ! We have recommended you to family who are coming over in one month already!

What a fabulous day trip! We were collected in a clean, comfortable and air conditioned mini bus from our hotel. The drive to Khao Sok takes around two hours but we stopped at a coffee factory on the way and Arisa pointed out interesting sights on the way! The emerald pool is beautiful and refreshingly cool to swim in! We were lucky to see one of the three otters taking a swim too! The real star of the show is the dam at Khao Sok! Absolutely unbelievable views that genuinely take your breath away! The cave you visit is very hot and humid but interesting to look around and see the bats, we also saw a huntsman spider too. Definitely recommend wearing trainers for this part and taking flip flops or sandals for swimming (the rocks are very hot and sharp to get into the dam!) Lunch was lovely, soft drinks were provided all day. The swimming/kayaking location is lovely and you get plenty of time to enjoy this. Have to give a special shout out to Arisa, our guide, we were a group of 7 and she took time to speak with us all, learning our names and getting to know us! She was so bubbly and enthusiastic, and was very knowledgeable on the history of the national park! The drive is definitely worth what you get out of this trip and would recommend booking!!

A truly interesting and positive experience. We had a great time with the very professional guides. I recommend this tour!

We did two trips with this company and both of them were of equally amazing quality and professionalism. From starting of my planning and asking hundreds of questions over WhatsApp to the actual tours themselves the team were super patient and so helpful. The trips themselves were really breathtaking experiences of the area. You can tell that they take a lot of pride in their business and customer service, this is exactly how a tour company should operate by keeping excellent communication and standards. We did the kho sok national Park as well as the James Bond Island tours, both were absolutely amazing. I would look no further than this company if you are looking for well organised and professional tours at a reasonable price.

It’s a great itinerary, and the scenery is beautiful. Our guide and driver were excellent. The lunch spot was perfect—beautiful setting and delicious food. We were hoping the guide could share a bit more about Thailand’s history, culture, and plantations during the journey. Overall, it was a great tour.
