We recently went on a tour to Cheow Lan Lake—it was simply incredible! 😍 The program was thought out down to the last detail: everything was comfortable, engaging, and very soulful. The lake itself is surreal, like a scene from a movie: emerald water, majestic cliffs, and a feeling of complete solitude with nature. The beauty is literally breathtaking! The bamboo rafting was a special delight. It's very atmospheric and unusual, allowing you to truly relax and soak up the surrounding nature. And the Samet viewpoint is simply wow! The view is stunning, one of those moments you'll want to remember forever. And, of course, a huge thank you to our guide, Ksenia ❤️ She made this trip truly special: attentive, positive, with a great sense of humor and deep knowledge. It was easy, interesting, and very comfortable with her. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the true natural beauty of Thailand and have an unforgettable experience.
We took the two-day "Secret Lake" tour with guide Ksenia and absolutely loved it! It was professionally organized, the program was packed, and the locations were stunning! We truly rejuvenated our bodies and souls. A huge thank you to Treasure Island and guide Ksenia!
An incredible two days at Cheow Lan Lake. Words fail me, I was thrilled. I can't believe I saw this beauty with my own eyes. We were lucky to have two guides: Ksenia and Petr. They complemented each other perfectly. Ksyusha made the long journey so much easier with fascinating stories about Thailand and life here. I jotted down some of the things I wanted to explore further when I got home. The time flew by so quickly and was so fulfilling. Petr amazed us with facts about the province's oldest forests and Thailand's flora and fauna. Thank you, Treasure Island, for such treasures!
Good afternoon! I'd like to leave a review of the Treasure Island team who worked with us: Dmitry, our tour organizer, and Esmira and Ksenia, our tour guides. We contacted Dmitry on the second day of our arrival, and he planned a well-balanced tour based on our wishes. We ended up visiting Cheow Lan Lake for two days, the islands without waves, Siam Niramit, and a bonus sightseeing tour with shopping. In short, we enjoyed everything listed above; it was well-planned, well-filled, and everything left a lasting impression. We had a wonderful time and felt completely relaxed after returning from the tours. A special thank you to our guides, Mira and Ksenia. Mira was with us on the sightseeing tour and in a parallel group on Cheow Lan Lake. She gave us a wealth of information about Thai life and the country, and she has a wonderful sense of humor. We spent a great deal of time with Ksenia; we spent two days with her on a tour of the lake and the islands without waves. She immediately brought the group together and set the mood for conversation. We learned a ton about Thailand from her during the tour, even though this wasn't our first visit. She shared a lot of interesting facts about everyday life, and she was very informative. She knows how to explain everything easily and engagingly. 😊 The time flew by while we were traveling! Everything was amazing! Thank you so much!!!😊
Good afternoon! Today we went on a two-day excursion to Cheow Lan Lake. We had a very warm guide, Ksenia. To say we were happy is an understatement – we were absolutely thrilled! Firstly, Ksenia is the best guide we've ever met in Thailand. She shared so many new and interesting things about the country that the trip to the locations was stress-free. She gave us lots of helpful advice, recommendations, and so on. We're so grateful for that. Secondly, Cheow Lan Lake is incredibly beautiful; it's a must-see for EVERY tourist visiting Thailand. A two-day excursion is recommended to fully enjoy the lake's natural beauty.
The excursion was very interesting, Lake Cheow Lan will remain in your heart forever, the incredible beauty of the sunrise on the lake, observed right from the house standing on the water, it was a plus of the vibe) A special huge thank you to Ksenia, our guide, for a very interesting program, she has answers to all our questions, we really enjoyed it, thank you!
An incredible tour. The sights were truly beautiful, the Thai nature truly captivating. The lake itself is probably one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. I'd especially like to thank our guide, Ksenia, who was so passionate about us and shared so many stories not only about each of the tour's locations but also about life in Thailand and the local mentality. Thank you ❤️
We went with guide Ksenia on the Secret Lake tour on March 4, 2026, and were absolutely blown away! The lake and cliffs are incredibly beautiful; it feels like you're in Avatar. The lake houses where we stayed overnight were beautiful, with direct access to the lake from our room, where you can swim and watch the sunrise. On the first day, we visited two temples and a waterfall (but we could have skipped that part 😆), then arrived at the pier and took a traditional boat ride across the lake to the houses. At 5 a.m., we went on a safari, but we didn't see any elephants. We rode around the lake and watched the sunset—it was all very beautiful. Dinner and rest followed in the evening. On the second day, we woke up early to watch the sunrise. At 7 a.m., we went on a nearby boat to look for elephants, but we didn't see any. We watched monkeys instead. Then we had breakfast and headed back to the pier. Next, we went rafting through the jungle - it was fun, very interesting, and colorful. Then we stopped at the Samit Nangshe lookout point and sat in a cafe with a beautiful view. 😍 Our guide, Ksenia, told us a lot: about Thailand, traditions, Buddhism, food, etc. Our group was small, and everything went very well. The food was also delicious, traditional Thai food and fish.
The excursion was amazing, very eventful. The beauty all around was incredible. Thanks to Ksyusha, she entertained us as much as she could. I would like to commend the company's high level of organization and support. I went on two excursions. All my requests were taken into account and fulfilled, and they were always in touch. Perhaps for your information and to help you make the right purchases at 7/11, I should mention that the houses on the water are without electricity until 6 PM and after 6 AM. There is no refrigerator or dental kits. Be sure to wake up in the morning and watch the sunrise – it's really cool. Also, for your information, bring sun hats or something to cover yourself with, and water, as the sun is very hot. Sandals can get wet – also, plan your outfit wisely. Two days flew by in a flash. Thank you so much 🙏
What a fantastic excursion!!! The nature was incredible. We had a great group, and most importantly, our guide, Petr. He's a total know-it-all! He's a pleasure to listen to and will answer any question. I think he's the best guide I've ever taken! The lake is beautiful, we loved the hotel's location on the water, and the morning excursion to see and hear the local flora and fauna was unforgettable. We also really enjoyed all the other locations. The only thing I'd change is the Phang Nga viewpoint; it's honestly not a great place. Otherwise, thank you so much!!!! We were very satisfied!!!
