Photographing Khao Sok

An ancient rainforest of limestone cliffs, jungle and a vast emerald reservoir.

Where to shoot

  • Cheow Lan Lake — a vast emerald reservoir ringed by towering limestone karsts, often wrapped in dawn mist.
  • Floating Bungalows — raft houses moored beneath the cliffs on the lake, a base for sunrise on the water.
  • Rainforest Trails — jungle paths through one of the world's oldest forests, rich with birds and gibbons.
  • Limestone Cliffs — sheer karst formations rising directly from the lake and forest, dramatic in low light.

When to go

December to April is the dry season, best for jungle trekking and lake trips; the wet season brings lush rainforest but slippery trails and frequent rain.

What to eat

Simple southern Thai meals served at the floating raft houses and park lodges, often featuring fresh fish and curries.

Where to stay

Stay in a floating bungalow on Cheow Lan Lake for the karst scenery, or near the park entrance for trail access.

Stay overnight in a floating bungalow on Cheow Lan Lake to be on the water at dawn, when mist clings to the karsts.
