Khao Sok Cheow Lan Lake Canyons

Surat Thani, Thailand

Towering limestone karst canyons emerging from emerald waters, accessible only by longtail boat with hiking trails leading to hidden caves and viewpoints.

About this place

These dramatic water-filled canyons offer unique hiking experiences on floating bamboo platforms and cliff-side trails that most tourists never see. Book overnight stays at floating rafthouses to access early morning hikes when mist shrouds the canyon walls for ethereal photography. Local boatmen know hidden lagoons and cave systems that require swimming through underwater passages to reach secluded canyon chambers.
