Cheow Lan Lake Boat Tour - Khao Sok National Park - Thailand 2022

Cheow Lan Lake เชี่ยวหลาน or Rajjaprabha Dam Reservoir อ่างเก็บน้ำเขื่อนรัชชประภา is in Khao Sok National Park in Surat Thani Province, Thailand. It is an 185 square kilometer (71 sq mi) artificial lake, inaugurated in 1987 with the construction of Rajjaprabha Dam by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) as a source of electricity.

Khao Sok National Park เขาสก is in Surat Thani Province, Thailand. Its area is 739 km2 (285 sq mi), and it includes the 165 sq km (64 sq mi) Cheow Lan Lake contained by the Ratchaprapha Dam. The park is the largest area of virgin forest in southern Thailand and is a remnant of rain forest which is older and more diverse than the Amazon rain forest.

Beautiful sandstone and mudstone rocks rise about 300–600 m (984–1,969 ft) above sea level. The park is traversed by a limestone mountain range from north to south with a high point of 950 m (3,117 ft). This mountain range is hit by monsoon rain coming from both the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea, which makes it among Thailand's wettest regions with an annual rain fall of 3,500 mm (137.8 in). Heavy rainfall and falling leaves led to the erosion of the limestone rocks and created the significant karst formations seen today.

The area is very beautiful and easy to see via boat from the marina near the dam.
