Guide Andrey conducted a wonderful tour, he is very well read and knows the entire history of Thailand, we recommend excursions with guide Andrey to everyone.
An excellent excursion! Stunning scenery! Andrey, our guide, was fantastic! We left in the rain and were worried the weather would ruin our expectations, but the rain cleared and we arrived at the lake in sunny weather! We took a boat ride! We took amazing photos! We had a delicious fish lunch! We went kayaking! It was a truly action-packed and beautiful day!
The excursion was amazing; we experienced so many different emotions. Since the route to the lake from Phuket is about 170 km, we stopped at several other places besides the lake itself. Our first stop was the Temple of the Reclining Buddha and Monkey Island. There, we visited the temple, fed the monkeys, drank delicious coffee, and then continued on. Incidentally, the journey itself was done by light, thanks to our guide, Andrey, who personally introduced me to the fascinating world of Thai history, its rulers, and countless interesting facts. Next, the main attraction awaited us: Cheow Lan Lake. Stunningly beautiful, everything was picture perfect. A boat ride on the lake, free time for swimming, lunch... we took lots of picturesque photos. ☺️ Then we headed back and stopped at a really cool spa with hot springs, just the thing to unwind after a long journey. ✅ Throughout the entire trip, Andrey never stopped sharing his knowledge of his beloved Thailand. Overall, the tour was amazing, thanks to Treasure Island and our guide Andrey for adding another wonderful place to our collection. ✅ I highly recommend this tour to everyone.
Everything went great! Our guide, Victoria, shared so many interesting facts and kept the atmosphere warm throughout the trip! The lake was stunning! We also loved the hot springs!
An incredibly huge and beautiful lake, in which we even went for a swim (though only in life jackets). Special thanks to Victoria, who shared so much about both the history of Thailand and everyday moments. Thanks to her, the transfers between locations went faster. After the lake, we stopped at the spa, a small complex with pools of different temperatures. This is not my first time taking excursions from Treasure Island and I highly recommend it!
The lake is 10/10 beautiful! The rocks, the jungle, the water – amazing! Andrey, the guide, is the best; he tells interesting stories not only about the lake but also about the history of Thailand and the royal family in general, and he seems to know the answer to any question. There's a temple with a Buddha in a cave. It's a cool, walk-through location that sets the tone for a sightseeing tour in the morning. There were no monkeys, only one showed up and rejected the banana I bought. Lunch by the lake wasn't great, though: dry, tasteless fish, rice, and a strange soup. In short, it wouldn't hurt to bring a snack for lunch. The main disappointment was the hot springs at the end, for which I'm confidently removing a star. They're located on the hotel grounds and look like a bad 3-star hotel. I'm sure anyone who's been to decent hot springs will be disappointed. If I were the company, I'd remove or change this final location; it really ruins the experience.
I really enjoyed the tour to Cheow Lan Lake. The views of the lake itself were stunning, the cave temple we stopped at along the way was also incredible, and the monkeys living there were simply adorable; I'd go again just for them. And of course, the guide, Victoria, was very attentive and responsive, sharing fascinating insights into Thailand's cultural traditions and customs. The food was delicious, the boat ride was brisk, there weren't many people around, everything was on time—all in all, it was a dream. Thank you all for the tour!!!
Good afternoon, yesterday we went on the Secret Lake tour. We loved everything, especially the hot springs. After a long drive, the relaxation at the springs was fantastic. Our guide, Andrey, is a great guy, 10 stars. He's engaging and worthy of respect, shared many insightful facts, and was on the same wavelength with the group. His modesty is a true asset. Thank you for your hard work ❤️
🌿 Excursion to Cheow Lan Lake (Khao Sok National Park, Thailand) The trip exceeded all expectations! Cheow Lan Lake is an incredibly beautiful place: turquoise water, majestic cliffs, mist between the mountains – all this creates a feeling of complete unity with nature. Special thanks to our guide Andrey 🌺 – he was very attentive, took care of every detail, and shared so many interesting things about the culture, traditions, and religion of Thailand. Thanks to him, the excursion was not only beautiful but also very educational. There was a feeling of calm, harmony, and ease – a true journey into the heart of nature. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to see a different side of Thailand, far from the hustle and bustle of busy beaches. ✨ Incredible views, comfortable organization, and a warm atmosphere – everything is perfect!
Amazing, I dreamed of visiting this lake. I love places that are off the beaten path and not overly touristy. Special thanks to Andrey, who made this day as memorable as possible.
