Hello! I'd like to share my impressions of an unforgettable excursion to Chaolan Lake. The trip was organized perfectly—everything was thought out down to the last detail. I'd especially like to mention our guides, Adam and Andrey. They are not only professionals but also very engaging conversationalists. Adam has excellent knowledge of the history and nature of this area, and Andrey is always ready to help and support. Thanks to them, the excursion became more than just a stroll, but a real adventure! They provided engaging stories, answered all our questions, and created a friendly atmosphere. The lake itself is a whole other story: stunning views, crystal-clear water, and amazing nature. We visited hidden caves, swam in a waterfall, and enjoyed the peace and beauty of the national park. The organization was excellent: convenient transportation, a delicious lunch, and a flexible schedule. A huge thank you to Adam and Andrey for the unforgettable experience and a wonderful time! I recommend this excursion to anyone who wants to see the true beauty of Thailand and have a wonderful experience.

The two-day "Secret Lake" tour was absolutely amazing! Everything around was incredibly beautiful—the views, nature, and silence were absolutely stunning. I'd especially like to mention our guide, Ksenia—she was fun, had a great vibe, and took a personal approach to everyone. She made the trip even more special. Thank you so much for all the information, attention, and atmosphere. Ksenia, you're amazing, well done!

5 stars for the lake itself and the amazing guide, Mira! We spent two days on Phi Phi and the Similan Islands, but the lake captivated us most with its scale and incredible beauty! It's a must-see if you're in Thailand! Now some minor downsides we encountered: firstly, the food. I'm not picky at all, and my husband even less so, but there was nothing to eat (this is Thailand, there's an abundance of food and fruit (by the way, there was no fruit at all, only 2-3 pieces of watermelon per person...). We also encountered bad weather, and in the heat you'll probably really want cold pineapples, more watermelon and something else). The boat on the lake was ugly. It seemed like a signature tour, which means it would be more expensive, but this point was completely ignored (the evening safari was very useful, but we saw that other groups went on the morning one as well). We liked the tour, there are many beautiful places. Take small baht with you for tipping the Thais, you can't do without it). We were not taken to a Thai pharmacy because the driver passed it, the guide saw this in time, but we were exhausted due to the bad weather, so we declined. The Mira guide is amazing! We learned a lot of new and interesting things!

A truly beautiful place, romantic and amazing. Our guide, Adam, simply fell in love with us. He's so engaging and knowledgeable, and if you ask him about anything, he knows it all. He travels a lot, so he's well-versed in any situation. The tour was wonderful, we had a great group of people, everyone was on the same wavelength, we stayed in houses on the water, huge fish swam, the water was turquoise, like in a fairy tale, and we were fed delicious Thai food. My husband and I went kayaking, and then went rafting, which was a wonderful experience. And the temple is incredibly beautiful. I definitely recommend it to everyone.
The guide Adam conducted the tour wonderfully, was unobtrusive, and very interesting. The tour itself was very beautiful and dynamic.

We had an unforgettable experience with our guide Adam! We went on a two-day tour to Lake Cheolan. We've never experienced such attention and care. Everything was so soulful and full of love for his profession. He has such a broad knowledge base, and it was so nice to listen to everything, like stepping back into childhood and hearing legends. We learned so many new and interesting things about Thai culture. It was like finding a new friend, and he also took so many unforgettable photos and videos for us, which is so valuable these days.

I'd like to thank our guide, Adam, for a wonderfully organized trip to Secret Lake! From the very beginning, it was clear that he was a true professional: the route was meticulously planned, timing was perfect, and all logistics (transfers, meals, and transitions) went smoothly and without delays. What was particularly impressive: The guide's deep knowledge. We didn't just admire the beauty; we received captivating stories about the region's nature, history, and culture. He readily answered any questions and shared interesting details not found in guidebooks. His attention to the group was evident. It was clear that our comfort was given maximum attention: he suggested stops for photos, accommodated our walking pace preferences, and gave helpful tips (for example, about appropriate clothing and what to pack). The atmosphere. Thanks to the guide's easy communication and sense of humor, the trip turned into a real adventure rather than a formal tour.
