Ratchaprapha Dam Reviews

Fantastic 5.0
from the very start to finish it was a fantastic experience. As soon as we booked we got an email describing as aspects what to expect and clear requirements. we meet them at the tourist pier, after a bit of confusion on our part. the landside guide helped us through every step. till we boarded the boat. the boat captain was a great young man who was a fantastic guide for the lake. he spoke basic English, but the translator function on the phone helped greatly. took us to various photo spots on the trip. it was well worth not being part of a large tour group. we didn't want to go swimming so we asked if there was somewhere we could just have a paddle, and he took us to a great spot on the return. we'll worth every dollar spent.

Fantastic 5.0
Our tour of Cheow Lan Lake and Samet Nangshe viewpoint was an absolute dream. The emerald waters and towering limestone cliffs of Khao Sok were breathtaking, followed by the most spectacular, panoramic sunrise views at Samet Nangshe.A huge, heartfelt thank you to our incredible tour guide, Lily, whose deep knowledge, warm energy, and bright smile made every moment special. We also deeply appreciate our driver, who ensured we had a safe, smooth, and completely stress-free journey throughout the day.This impeccably organized trip is a must-do. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting southern Thailand!
