Getting to and from Khao Sok and Chieow Laan Lake

By Air:

Surat Thani airport is the closest airport to Khao Sok National Park and Chieow Laan Lake - just an hour from the lake and two hours from Khao Sok National Park headquarters.

Surat Thani has two flights daily to and from Bangkok. Other airports in the region include Krabi and Phuket.

By Rail:

Surat Thani (Phun Phin) railway station is the closest railway station to Khao Sok National Park and Chieow Laan Lake - an hour from the lake and two hours from Khao Sok National Park headquarters. Trains arrive and depart regularly during the day and evening.

One of the most popular modes of transport to and from Bangkok is the overnight sleeper train. Trains also head south to Haad Yai, Malaysia and Singapore.

By Road:

Buses run regulary during daylight hours from Khao Sok to either Phuket or Surat Thani.

From Chieow Laan Lake, the closest bus service is in the nearby town of Baan Takun (about 20 minutes away). Buses from Baan Takun also run regularly to Phuket and Surat Thani. There is also one service a day to Krabi.

Alternatively, songtheows (covered pick-ups with two bench seats in the back and able to seat up to 10 people), minivans and private taxis are available for hire to transport you to and from Khao Sok and Chieow Laan Lake. We recommend, however, that these services are booked in advance.

If you are travelling to Chieow Laan Lake and do not have your own hire vehicle, please note that there is no public transport available between the closest town (Baan Takun) & the lake.

Limestone Lake Rainforest Tours can arrange all your transfers, including those between Baan Takun (or Khao Sok) and Chieow Laan Lake, as well as those from more distant locations.

Enquire about transport options.
