WBWG Member’s Retreat, Krabi!, 5 days

WBWG Member's Retreat, Krabi!, 5 days

Located in Southern Thailand, Khao Sok National Park is in the middle of the country’s southern land. The park consists of a thick native rainforest, waterfalls, majestic limestone cliffs and an island stubbed lake. The rainforest in this region is one of the oldest in the world, believed to be even older than the Amazon.

Khao Sok National Park boasts a beautiful expanse of water in the form of Cheow Lan Lake. It was created in 1982 as part of a damming project to provide hydroelectricity to the south of Thailand. The lake stretches over an area of 165 sq km, with great peaks of limestone jutting from its surface. The entire park is covered in a combination of evergreen rainforest and rich vegetation.

Nestled in the heart of the stunning Cheow Lan Lake, experience the ultimate 1-night getaway staying on floating cabins which offer a serene retreat surrounded by nature’s beauty. Enjoy delicious meals, exciting activities, and breathtaking scenery that will leave you rejuvenated and inspired.

Duration: 5 days

The area under the water used to be a temple and a cemetery.

After breakfast, let’s embark on a hike to Nam Taloo Cave*. The cave stretches over approximately 700 metres, making it one of the longer caves in the park. The cave is famous for its underground river that runs through it, allowing visitors to wade, swim, or even raft through the cave. The journey through Nam Talu Cave is not just about exploring the cave’s stunning stalactites and stalagmites but also navigating through the water, which adds an element of thrill to the experience.

Transfer by long-tail boat back to the pier. Our vehicle and guide will be waiting to take us back to Krabi.

A hearty dinner awaits you as we arrive in the late afternoon/early evening.
