Looking at stunning pictures of the lake, you can hardly think that Cheo Lan is created by people. But Lake Cheo Lan is a very young lake. Imagine: there used to be a valley in the place of the lake, in which immigrants and refugees from China lived. But according to the decree of the king in 1982, everyone was evicted, a dam was built, and the valley was flooded

Is it worth paying for a boat? YES! Ride on Lake Cheo Lan on a boat costs 1800 baht for a private boat + 300 baht / person. park entrance

If you wish, you can stay overnight! On Lake Cheo Lan there are raft houses, houseboats. You can get to them only by boat, Thais are met on the pier and taken to your room. Therefore, there are two rules:
1. Take with you everything you need from food, clothing, water - there are no shops nearby, houses in the middle of the lake
2. You need to arrive at the pier before dawn, check-in time is until 17-00

On the way back, we advise you to drop into the observation deck of the Ratchaprampha Dam. In addition to the memorial to the king and the history of the construction of the dam, there is a food court there. But the most important thing is the opening views of the surroundings. For their sake, it’s worth stopping by this place
