Getting
to and from Khao Sok and Chieow Laan Lake
By

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.

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.
