2. 2Cheow Lan Lake⌄

   After a well-deserved deep slumber, do a sightseeing trip by longtail boat to enjoy the early morning mist on the still lake.

   It's now time for a rich, vitalise breakfast to strengthen yourself for the next adventure.

   Follow a mini jungle trail into the breathtaking Pra Kay Petch Cave (also known as Diamond Cave) which winds deep into the interior of Khao Sok National Park. Along the way your guide will explain the unique history of the region and it’s cultural significance, pointing out such magnificent creatures as; Jurassic insects, butterflies and rare birds. Next you’ll strap on your headlamps. Prepare to get wet, as the hike extends through the “water cave” (dry season only) and soon becomes a dark wonderland. This is an excellent time to view the many nocturnal species that inhabit this cave (from a safe distance of course) and cool yourself in the river as you explore.
